Märklin 46664 Freight Car Set: Varied Freight Service on the DB in Era IV

The Märklin freight car set 46664 combines four freight cars of different types of the German Federal Railroad (DB) and shows the versatility of freight service in Era IV. With detailed designs and different car numbers, this set reflects the operating condition around 1973 and is a perfect model for historic freight trains.

The prototype: Varied freight cars of the German Federal Railroad

The four cars included in the set cover a wide range of the vehicles used in freight service on the German Federal Railroad:

• An open freight car Klms 440 (formerly Rms 31) with sliding axle bearings and openings on the end pieces.
• An open freight wagon Klms 440 (formerly Rmrs 31) with roller axle bearings and without openings at the end pieces.
• An F-z 120 (formerly Ommi 51) dump car with rail tongs, loaded with full-scale ballast.
• An Hbck 291 (formerly Glt 23) boxcar with end doors on both sides that can be opened.

Detailed and high-quality design

The 46664 model set impresses with its precise reproductions and numerous details:

• Both Klms 440 are equipped with sprinklers and storage boxes on the underframe, and insertable stanchions are included.
• The dump wagon without brakeman's cab is loaded with ballast in true-to-scale grain size.
• The covered freight car has front doors that can be opened, a sprinkler system and additional running boards.
• All of the wagons have different road numbers and are individually packaged.

The prototypical design and the combination of open and covered cars make this set an excellent addition for historic freight train scenarios.

The set is an ideal match for a steam locomotive from Era IV. The matching steam locomotive, available in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 39885, is a perfect addition. This combination can be used to create realistic trains of the 1970s.
