Märklin 043452 H0 Add-on Car Set 2 for Giruno SBB, 2 Intermediate Cars, Era VI

This add-on car set extends the Märklin H0 Giruno SBB high-speed train with two additional intermediate cars, one first class and one second class, allowing a prototypically longer train formation. Unlike generic add-on coaches, these cars feature specific car numbers and a detailed interior that match the Swiss Federal Railways EC250 'Giruno' design.

Highlights

• Two intermediate cars: one 1st class, one 2nd class
• Prepared for interior lighting with current-conducting close couplers
• Metal chassis and high-quality plastic body for durability
• Minimum operating radius 360 mm, suitable for many H0 layouts
• Era VI (2007–present) SBB livery

In daily use

The cars are designed to be inserted into existing Märklin Giruno basic sets (such as 39450) to create a realistic train composition. The special close couplers with guide mechanism ensure reliable operation and close coupling distances. Interior lighting can be added later; the cars are already prepared with current-conducting couplers. The metal chassis provides good running characteristics, and the detailed interiors enhance the visual appeal on the layout.
