Ulmer Spatz in miniature - Märklin Z DB Regio class 798/998 rail bus set

With the Märklin 88315, you can bring the popular "Ulmer Spatz" in a modern Era VI design to your Z scale layout. The rail bus set consists of the class 798 motor car and the class 998 trailer car that goes with it - both lovingly detailed, elaborately printed, and technically up-to-date. A highlight for all fans of regional trains with historical charm in a new look.

The prototype - The rail bus lives on

Even in the 21st century, the legendary BR 798 rail bus is still on the move on branch lines - with DB Regio as the nostalgically modern "Ulmer Spatz". In red and beige livery with modern DB additions and nameplates, it runs on special tourist routes and as a cult train in the region around Ulm - here in the condition of around 2008 (Era VI).

Model - Finest printing, reliable technology

The model impresses with extremely fine printing, including realistically printed door rubbers, handrails and lamp rings. The prototypical buffer reproductions and the nickel-plated wheel sets emphasize the high-quality overall impression. The motor car is equipped with a bell-type armature motor that ensures whisper-quiet running. Warm white LED interior lighting is already integrated.

Technology & dimensions

The set is designed for Z scale (1:220). The motor car drives the vehicle safely on all standard layouts, even with tight radii. The total length over buffers is approx. 128 mm.
