I purchased 4 used coaches and none of them have the plastic tan-colored seats in them that all my other TEE coaches have. I was wondering if Marklin had a period where they were making coaches without the interior in them, or if someone had removed the interiors (though I don't see how they would have been able to disassemble the coach to pull the interior out) Thanks much for any help. Regards, Ruben

The TEE coaches were first released as 4055-4059 without interiors ~ 1966 - two years later they were renumbered in the 408x series, with interiors. I received 3 of the cars in 1968, where the local store simply renumbered the original numbers with handwritten stickers with the new series. #s. Didn't realize until I read the 68/69 catalog carefully the the new numbers came with interiors. And though I'm a very infrequent poster, welcome! Fred

These were: Primex 4288 - Open seating coach equivalent to Marklin 4056 (4086 with interior) Primex 4289 - Dining car equivalent to Marklin 4057 (4087 with interior) Many more of the tinplate coaches were produced under the Primex label, and they can be a good source of extra coaches. I have a few which I have fitted with Marklin interior details sets and run with my Marklin coaches. I make use of this resource to look for suitable coaches on ebay: http://www.modellbahnboerse.org/info.htm Hope this information is useful.

Ray - thank you for the Primex info. I constantly forget about the Primex world, and didn't know about the Primex TEE coaches. Always great to learn something new. Cheers, Fred
