Hi George, Those coaches are very nice, but are perhaps more appropriate for commuter or branch line trains. The V300 was mainly used on express trains, so I would recommend some suitable Era III express coaches, such as the 43910, 43920, 43930, 43940, 43941, and 43950. http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43910http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43920http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43930http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43940http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43941http://www.maerklin.com/...etails.html?art_nr=43950You can also get the 43969 set, which is very nice. http://www.maerklin.com/...ailsh0.html?art_nr=43969If these coaches are too long for your layout you could look for the older equivalent 27cm coaches on ebay. |

The V 300 is one of the best models that has come out of the Märklin vaults lately.
I am very happy that I purchased mine.
I run it with Roco POP Wagen. |

I agree 100% George, it is really a nice model. I also agree with Ray about the passanger wagon's but why not buy the Trix version's : Märklin 43910 = Trix 23400 Märklin 43920 = Trix 23401 Märklin 43930 = Trix 23402 Märklin 43940 = Trix 23403 Märklin 43950 = Trix 23404 Märklin 43969 = Trix 23446 Profi Club set This way your wagon's already have the DC wheel's PS ! - I can't stop loving that avatar of your's |

Good point, Pål!

You can have look at the German Ebay for "29010", there are many dealers that are selling these coaches from the start set, they will be without boxes, but you might be able to make a good deal putting in a bid. I have this set, and later added the combinen 2. class and bistro coach. And would like add the combinen 2.class coach and bagage car, if had the space for it. I pull this consist with either a BR210 or the BR01.10 from the start set. |

I would never grow tired of praising the Märklin V 300. It is one of the best models to come out of the Märklin vaults in recent years. Therefore, the only coaches that would do full justice to such a spectacular model as this V 300 is, are the Roco POP coaches in full correct H0 scale (303mm). Anything less would be undignified for this locomotive. And please, no R1 curves! |

in this livery(red and marked V300) the loco existed only from mid 1964 to some day in 1968 when it became the 230...so if you want to be prototypically correct, only passenger coaches of that time (the classic blue and green ones) fit to it. reading wikipedia, the loco was stationed at that time in Hamm (a little bit east of the 'ruhrgebiet') and pulled fast trains and freight trains, too. prior to mid 1964 the loco had another livery and not the classic 'V200'-look. |

You're right. I was in fact referring to the Era IV model of the BR 230. In fact, it is one and same locomotive, as there only was one built. |

What a sight for sore eyes They would look like messy wires if they were true-to-scale on H0 models. Same like those thick, prominent, albeit overscale windscreen wipers on Re4/4 II or BR103s... they really add to the character of the model, and proofs that Marklin make the effort to cast very fine details that you can still see. ... in contrast, I can't make out whether those windscreen wipers exist or not in some of the more correct-to-scale models. I like a clean look on my model.. so brightly colored red pantos looks great. When those thick pantos got caught on something, the model would roll over, but no damage.. bravo the thick pantos.. There are details to be admired in all models from all the different vintage... old and new.. |

Quote:Back to the V300. I would consider getting a few of the LSM Aum202/Bum232 coaches (1/87). In terms of detail, they would look amazing behind the lok. Would you mind providing manufacturer and catalog number for these? Thanks |

Mike, how would you rate the coaches made by LS Models compared to the Roco ones? Are they also correct at 1:87? |

Armando wrote:Mike, how would you rate the coaches made by LS Models compared to the Roco ones? Are they also correct at 1:87? LSM's UIC coaches are 1/87 exact scale (303mm). They can be used alongside Roco, Acme, RailTop, Heris, Rivarossi and other scale length models. In some aspects, it may appear that the LSM coaches were reverse engineered from the Roco models. The Roco models, starting with 44746 first appeared in 1985. The LS Models are at least 20 years more modern in design technology. Roco has upgraded it's coaches by offering models with digitally operated doors, but the overall coach is still made using the original molds. LS Models has produced models that are as close to or surpasses in quality to the classic ADE coaches of the 1980s. The level of detail is incredible. The UIC-X coaches are no doubt the best on the market today. I have not installed any lighting in any of my LSM coaches, so I cannot report on that aspect of the models. I did find the Roco coaches relatively easy to illuminate in either AC or DC. I am looking forward to the SBB UIC coaches due from LSM in the coming months. I will use them alongside my LSM DB coaches to complete my consist for a 1980s Schnellzug between Zuerich and Stuttgart. The photos of the models as featured on the reisezugwagen.eu site show many of the fine details of the LSM and ACME models. I have noticed that some LSM and ACME models have NEM shafts that may be up to a mm shorter than they should be. This can make coupling coaches a little complicated. I have found that the Roco Universal Close Coupler, which is a little longer than the Maerklin 7203 seems to remedy that problem. My CNL (LSM), EN (ACME) and Cisalpino Trains look amazing on my R3 and R4 tracks. If you have the larger radii, you should check these models out. Regards Mike C

Finally I managed to order the following era III DB coaches, as per Ray's and Pål's suggestions, M43910, and T23402, T23403 and T23404. I have 16 DC wheel-sets, so I shall use 4 of them on the marklin wagon... I also ordered a BR 96. I will use it to pull freight wagons....Originally, I wanted to get the BR 23 with sound but I couldn't locate the 22230, I think it is not yet available. Due to this, I am getting ready to order six more era III marklin 2-axle refrigerator beer wagons....I still have 12 DC-wheel-sets left over and I plan to have the 2-axle refrigerator beer wagons hauled by the BR 96... I have only two beer wagons and I want to get some more. I like to have an H0 - beer train. Besides, the refrigerator in the kitchen has never got enough space... This is the fun of MRR...Perpetually, planning and collecting.... |
