They are great models! /Torbjörn

Joined: 15/02/2008(UTC) Posts: 693 Location: Bournemouth, Dorset		My Rheinpfeil set arrived yesterday, no time to test it yet but it looks fantastic. Very pleased. Interestingly, the box was shrink-wrapped, never seen this before, maybe it was doen by Conrad, I don't know. Just a reminder to anyone still looking for a 26540, they are still showing as in stock at www.conrad.de. Confusingly they don't use the Marklin part number, you have to search for 'TEE 50 jahre'. Now, to track down that elusive 37571 103 to complete the set........any ideas?? It is on a yellow traffic light at Marklin, does this mean there may be more? I found it listed at Mueller Versand, my German isn't up to much, but it appears to indicate stock in 05/08? Any help appreciated. Thanks Ashley

They suggest that you wait a few months until these have actually been produced -- at that point they should have ample parts that they can supply for any modifications you might want to do.

Joined: 15/02/2008(UTC) Posts: 693 Location: Bournemouth, Dorset		I am pleased to report that I have managed to secure the 37571 103 from 'johnandamme' as kindly spotted by Torbjörn. Because I was buying some other items, I managed to secure a bit of a discount too. Thank you so much for spotting this Torbjörn. Can I just remind everybody that all the 2007 Marklin Rheinpfeil and Rheingold items are now in VERY short supply. I have manged to find all 4 blue and cream new Rheingold coaches, but now my supplier is out of the panorama and humped back dining car. The 26540 Rheinpfeil is, as we all know, now virtually gone, still worth a try at www.conrad.de though. As to the 2 additional Rheingold coaches 43855 and 43865, I managed to get a 43855 (the one with the red marker lights), but the 43865 is factory sold out. I think I may have located one, but be warned everybody, grab them now if you want them. Thanks again to everyone for alerting me to the scarcity of these items just in time. I was originally planning to pass on the Rheinpfeil set, and just have the 39121 and 4 coaches, but Lutz's photos made me realise the error of my ways! Again, I had not really noticed the 37571, and had the earlier 39573 and 39579, but of course I had to then have the set, and it is MFX. This reminds me of the difficulty I had in getting a 37343 Re4/4 II a few years back. Production runs must be very short at the moment. Regards Ashley

It was actually my second one, I let the first go to a friend who had failed to find a 39573 and had bought the 42990/991 coach sets. I immediately regretted parting with it though, and was pleased to find another, The Rails one was unrun, but some numpty had stripped the roof screws, luckily I carefully got them out and managed to get some replacements from Marklin.

Joined: 24/01/2008(UTC) Posts: 92 Location: Sacramento, CA		Interesting. The M web site shows all the blue and cream Rheingold coaches (43850, 43860, 43870, and 43880) as green-lighted (meaning currently in stock) although the Rheingold's locomotive is shown as yellow (temporarily out of stock). These aren't listed as limited run items. Am I wrong in assuming that, although they may be out-of-stock at any given time, eventually the expectation is that M will manufacture more (at least for a couple of years)?

Joined: 14/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 563		I'm glad to hear that you got the loco Ashley. Congratulations! leesauer, judging from the past I would guess that the blue and cream coaches together with the 39121 loco will be available also by the end of this year (Märklin will make new batches during the year). Maybe also during 2009. But I wouldn't say it will be available "at least for a couple of years". /Torbjörn

Guagemaster are showing both the 43850 and 43860 as IN STOCK at £30.50 each, and that would be your cheapest option because they do free delivery. It all seems to be selling fast though, I had my eye on the 43855 and 43865 Rheinpfeil add-on coaches. Gaugemaster had them until wednesday, but all gone now. With luck I have managed to source both from Germany, but at full list price, and from two different shops. I know what you mean about affording stuff all in one go. I've got to pay all my recent purchases off the Visa (I blame this forum !!). But seriously, don't miss oout. Ashley

Joined: 06/10/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,345 Location: ,		I got mine from Model Masters in Weston Super Mare - paid exactly the same amount for the Trix ones. I'm not hugely keen on Gaugemaster after they lost my last order (effectively ignored it) and then claimed they'd dispatched it a month before I placed the order. A polite email to the effect that this was wrong didn't get a response! I'll try Model Masters, if they've sold the last one I'll go via ebay. Call it a hunch, but I'd suspect they might not sell a lone coach as easily as a full set.

I looked at the beginning of last week and it said 'Not yet released', then a couple of days later it was showing as 'temporarily out of stock' --- yeah right, I think that would be 'permanently out of stock'!

You can do something about that for very little outlay other than a small drill bit. If you look at the couplers you'll see they clip onto a peg on the bogie. Drilling another hole and trimming the coupler arm as seen here (not a great photo but should give the right idea): will bring them a lot closer together as can be seen with these Eurofima-wagen: They will still negotiate R1s, they'll even cope with being propelled through R2 reverse curves as found in a C track passing loop.

If you managed to find 4096-4098 in the darker shade of red, congratulations. I could not find any of those coaches and replaced the whole series with 4247, 4295-4298, which additional came with close couplings. There is a difference between the 4095-4099 and the later coaches, including the Eurofima coaches as shown in the photo, which is that the 4095-4099 and other coaches of that production era had bogies with a center mounted pivot point. The later series as well as the Eurofima coaches had the pivot point moved towards the rear and had a shorter coupling, which meant that those coaches were already a little closer to each other. Trimming the couplings on a 4095-4099 may cause problems that would not appear on a 4147 or 4162 for example. Regards Mike C

I've just ordered a second 37571. According to my German dealer they will make one batch more of this wonderful model. So it should be possible to order one at your dealer. But he hadn't any info about expected delivery time... Correct. The model was sold out and shown as "Historic" on the Märklin Web. During the toy fair Märklin indicated that they might be able to add another production run in late spring in order to fulfill the still high customer demand. Anyone still interested here in this model should simply talk to her/his dealer.

I could not find any of those coaches and replaced the whole series with 4247, 4295-4298, which additional came with close couplings. There is a difference between the 4095-4099 and the later coaches, including the Eurofima coaches as shown in the photo, which is that the 4095-4099 and other coaches of that production era had bogies with a center mounted pivot point. The later series as well as the Eurofima coaches had the pivot point moved towards the rear and had a shorter coupling, which meant that those coaches were already a little closer to each other. Trimming the couplings on a 4095-4099 may cause problems that would not appear on a 4147 or 4162 for example. Regards Mike C Thanks for the warning - I'm sort of keeping an eye out for some of those cars so this should prevent me wrecking the couplings!

I placed the order yesterday and found the parcel on my doorstep today despite using their standard delivery service. Excellent!

Joined: 16/08/2007(UTC) Posts: 1,752 Location: Jakarta		Finally got myself a Rheinpfeil set to go with my BR 103 . What an excellent, highly detailed model! A very smooth, quiet runner, with similar driving characteristic to my BR 218, but with Vmax set up higher. One small thing though. With all of my other MFX locomotives, if I had switch their lights on previously and kept it that way until I turn the CS off, they would automatically switch on their lights every time I turned on my CS. With the 26540, it works differently. I need to repress the light function button twice, before I could switch the lights on. This is a similar behaviour to my pre-MFX locos. So I’m wondering if any owners of this model (or any other Marklin E10 SDS) can tell me if this would be normal for this model (Especially since none of my other MFX model do this?)

I can say that my 39120 E10 does not do this, but that is a compact C-sine loco.

On turning the CS back on all had lights on BUT the light Symbol on the CS was off. when turned on stayed the lights stayed on. Also if the LOk was not active and had to be selected the lights went off to match the Symbol state . n

The way to distinguish the coaches is to look at the bogies. The original 4095-4099 had bogies with a center pivot, with longer MD bogies and a long coupling shaft with a built on hook coupler. The later series may have had a shorter length bogie and a off-center pivot point. The later series had a shorter coupling shaft, resulting in less space between coaches. The only models that I had from the second series were the 4153 dining coach and the 4169 Panorama Mittelthurgau. I later changed my TEE coaches for the 4294-4298 IC coaches with close couplers as well as the 4247 Eurofima IC coach. In TEE related news, I am still waiting for my individual Rheinpfeil coaches from Maerklin and Trix. I decided not to go for the set with the 112. I will use my Re 4/4II TEE to pull the coaches. Now, all I need is the bar coach and a WRmz 132 to recreate the TEE Roland. I found a good price on the Roco 45924 Rheingold Set. I must say that this is a wonderful train consist. Aside from the color separation between the red and gray parts being a little too low and the destination signs being Munich-Holland instead of Geneva to Dortmund, the model has to be one of the nicest in my collection and far above any of my new Maerklin 1:93 coaches. I noted that ADE will be producing a new series of Rheingold coaches as well, with the markings for the late 1970s/early 1980s. Regards Mike C

Joined: 06/04/2008(UTC) Posts: 1,573 Location: ,		A beautiful train sir! Are these the new longer cars? My Helvetia/Rheingold set has the older 1/2" shorter cars, but they are srill real nice. I have the 39120 class E10.3 also. I wish I had known the 39121, and 39122 were coming out. I'd rather have the prototypical color scheme to go along with the train. I do have the 37537, and 39537 classes 120, and 103 though so I suppose I shoudn't complain. It is nice to have a variation of color on a layout.

The 37537 is in the Sudwind train colors. The cream is alittle lighter, the maroon (red) is also. The 39537 is pictured above. The one with only 1 row of vents along the side of the 103.

Excellent, Do you have a picture? I'll try to get one tomorrow - currently hunting the older 1950s Rheingold train as offered by Trix (23333/4/5/6/7). I have 23333 and 23335 and am contemplating buying 23334, although the £38 asking price is a little steep.
