I am considering buying the rail car you see below:

Marklin Rail Car - June 2016.jpg


Does anyone own this beauty and can you tell me how you like it?

Also, is a rail car the same as a street car? It seems not.

Thanks.

Here is Marklin's link to it

It's a new item that wasn't shipped yet.
I'm not sure what to think about the tinted windows.
Inside you'll have a motor much like with the TRAXX locos, I presume.

Slow prototype, so the model will probably be rather slow.

Streetcars are mostly electrics and accelerate and brake very quickly. Operated with about 800 V DC.

Railcars normally do not drive on streets, accelerate and brake much slower, usually achieve higher maximum speeds and travel longer distances.

The Stadtbahn Karlsruhe is both: railcar and streetcar.
