Märklin 43186 H0 Rebuilt Coach Pair 2nd Class DB Era IV

Model railway enthusiasts building a Deutsche Bundesbahn layout set in Era IV will appreciate this pair of 2nd class rebuilt coaches (Umbauwagen) from Märklin. The set includes two coaches with different road numbers, ready for use on H0 scale (1:87) three-rail AC systems.

Key specifications

• Scale: H0 (1:87)
• Gauge: 16.5 mm standard gauge
• Railway company: Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB)
• Era: IV (1965-1990)
• Coach type: Rebuilt passenger coach (Umbauwagen)
• Class: 2nd class
• Number of coaches: 2
• Length over buffers per coach: 282 mm
• Coupling: NEM shaft with close coupling mechanism
• Interior lighting: Prepared for interior lighting (e.g., Märklin 73400/73401)
• Current-conducting couplings: Prepared for current-conducting couplings (e.g., Märklin 7319)
• Minimum operating radius: 360 mm
• Power system: AC (alternating current) for Märklin 3-rail systems
• Road numbers: 50 80 22-13 000-1 and 50 80 22-13 001-9
• Chassis material: Metal
• Body material: Plastic
• Kinematics: Close coupling kinematics

Why choose it

These coaches feature close coupling kinematics and are prepared for interior lighting and current-conducting couplings, allowing for realistic train formations. The metal chassis adds weight for stable running, while the plastic bodies are finely detailed.

Ideal use cases

• Adding authentic DB Era IV passenger stock to a layout
• Expanding a train set with matching coaches
• Collectors of Märklin H0 models

Good to know

The coaches are designed for Märklin AC systems and require a minimum radius of 360 mm. Interior lighting and current-conducting couplings are not included but can be retrofitted using Märklin parts.
