Apparently there's a special wagon, according to Modellbahnshop Lippe it's 303mm long, which is quite odd considering it's exact 1:87... Not really Marklin standard...

It's based on Locomore (a Berlin private railway company which just announced today quite an expansion next year in the long distance travel within Germany) rolling stock.

cod. W043920.001

EDIT: I'm prone to assume it's standard 282mm considering this SHOULD be a variation of 43920. In any case I booked 4.

Those cars are the old 43923 Bm 234 cars, refurbished and repainted as Locomore is using old stock in its trains. Fun to ride in trains you can actually open the windows in.

If they are 1:87 length, and not the 1:93.5 scale length of the Märklin car mentioned, then you'd want to be sure it makes the bends in your layout.

well that took all of no time what-so-ever to go from service to, "yeah no on is riding it" for the business plan went bust.
For those that got to ride those old wonderful coaches, I'm sure it was a treat.

Tbh DB still operate those kind of coach. Locomore went bust because, imho, it didn't actually have a business plan.

Well, in the meantime the coach arrived on stock, one month after the company went bankrupt. I still bought one piece...
