Prototype and use

The "Rolling Road" is an important part of transalpine freight traffic. Complete freight trains with drivers are loaded onto low-floor wagons and transported by rail - an environmentally friendly alternative to road transport. RAlpin AG operates these transports to and from Italy via Switzerland, providing an efficient and sustainable logistics solution. The intermediate wagon complements the existing units and adds further transport capacity to the train formation.

Model highlights

The model has a wagon body made of metal, which ensures stability and durability. It is an intermediate wagon without buffer beams. The scope of delivery includes retaining wedges for truck models and a special coupling for low-floor wagons. This means that the model is optimally prepared for realistic use in the model railroad world.

Technical features

The car has a length of 21.4 cm and is reproduced to scale. It can be equipped with a suitable DC wheel set (E432950) for use on direct current systems. The detailed design and robust construction make it suitable for both operation and display.

Use on the Model Railroad

The Märklin 47408 intermediate car is the perfect addition to the Märklin 47407 and other cars in the "Rolling Road" sets. It can be used to represent realistic and varied trains of Era VI that reproduce modern combined traffic over the Alps.
