Märklin 81359 Z Train Pack "German Federal Post Office" - Era IV with a bell-shaped anchor motor

The Märklin 81359 is a detailed train set in Z scale (1:220) that represents a freight train of the German Federal Post Office from Era IV. The set consists of a No. 4 diesel locomotive (former class 261) and three type Gbs 245 boxcars with different car numbers. The entire unit is prototypically printed and reflects the typical appearance of the Federal Post Office freight trains of the 1970s and 1980s.

The locomotive is equipped with a modern bell-type armature motor and is constructed primarily of metal. It has headlights with warm white LEDsthat change with the direction of travel, which provides a high level of detail and a realistic operating image in this size class. The running characteristics are smooth and precise - ideal for operation on compact Z layouts or as a collector's item in the display case.

The three Gbs 245 freight cars are each numbered differently and prototypically printed in the design of the German Federal Post Office. These cars were used to transport mail and have the typical appearance of Era IV with yellow paint and the Federal Post Office emblem.

With a total length over buffers of approx. 216 mm, this compact set offers a convincing realization of a historic mail freight train in Z scale. It is ideal for collectors, fans of the German Federal Post Office or all model railroaders who want to equip their layout with a special highlight.
