I have order the five coaches from the 2014 new items - 43912, 43923, 43924, 43932 and 43960.
Can it join matching with 43911, 43921, 43931 and 43951? (all 2007 new items).
Thanks. |

Hi, Stephen! Originally Posted by: steventrain  Can it join matching with [...] I don't see any obstacles. The new coaches represent a modernized prototype state (maybe with a higher maximum speed), but that's not a problem IMHO. Depending on the year you want to model, you can even mix your older blue/cream coaches with some blue or green coaches or some "Popwagen" (I don't know weather it's prototypically correct to mix the new modernized coaches with those). |

Steven:
The older coaches were the 1970s livery with the black skirting. The newer models represent the 1980s livery of the DB. The coaches can probably be run together as a consist of the very early 1980s, even, as Tom said, with a few Pop coaches and a few of the original blue and green models. I think that by then, all of the coaches would have had the UIC numbers, so any earlier coach that had the DB numbers only should not be used.
A matching coach would be the 43922 with taillights and the other coaches from the 43858 and 43927 Sets.
