Hello,
I just won a Swiss Starter set on ebay and needed some more information on it.

Here is the listing on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/e...ll-Categories%26_fvi%3D1

In case the link doesn't work, the item number is 260290707871

From the looks of it, it looks like an analog starter set. I was wondering if any of you had more information on it. I do not have the catalog number.

I wanted to know if the loco has a metal or plastic body, how detailed is the loco and general quality of this starter set.

Thanks

Hi Gautham,

It's most probably Starter set 29519.
It's not listed on Märklins website anymore,nor could I find it in my 2005 Kolls catalogue.

Maybe a more recent version of Kolls will contain some more information.

I could find this information on the site of Roundhouse Zürich:

29519 SBB Startpackung mit Re 460 und 3 Personen- wagen EW IV, Schienen und Trafo Delta

The transformer certainly isn't a DELTA unit by the looks of it,however the loco very likely is a DELTA unit,albeit with its dipswitches set at analog operation.
These kind of sets were sold in the past as a kind of "appetizer" and the loc was already fit for DELTA operation.

Yes the loco is all metal.

Kolibri in Switzerland still lists one in stock:Märklin 29519 Startpackung Schnellzug der SBB

Der Artikel ist ab Lager lieferbar, werkseitig ausverkauft

Hi,

Lok has metal body as well. In fact your ebay purchase has been a very good deal.

You got the complete set for the lok's price (or even lower).

Best regards.
