Märklin 000730 H0 set 24 pezzi carri a tetto scorrevole Tals 968 DB epoca IV AC

Building a realistic Era IV freight train on a Märklin AC layout often requires sourcing many individually numbered wagons, which is time-consuming and costly. This set solves that problem by delivering 24 sliding roof wagons of type Tals 968 in a single package, each with a unique running number and authentic DB livery, ready to form a complete train.

Who is it for

This set is aimed at H0 scale (1:87) modellers who operate Märklin 3-rail AC systems and want to add a prototypical Deutsche Bahn freight train from Era IV (1965–1990) without hunting for individual wagons.

Main features

• 24 sliding roof wagons (Schwenkdachwagen) type Tals 968, each with a unique running number.
• Authentic DB Era IV livery and lettering on high-quality plastic bodies with metal chassis.
• NEM coupler pockets with close coupling mechanism for reliable operation and realistic spacing.
• Minimum radius 360 mm (R1), suitable for most layouts.
• Length over buffers per wagon: 139 mm.
• Individually packaged wagons with prototypically different designs.
• Compatible with Märklin AC 3-rail system; can be converted to 2-rail DC with appropriate wheelsets (e.g., E700580).
