I am a newbie here, and happy to join this forum to know more about Marklin :) About my subject, I noticed that the destination sign boards carrying different final destinations each other, and wondering why.... For example, Bum1=Munich/Lindau, Bum2=Munich/Freiburg, ABum1=Munich/Chur, ABum2=Munich/Lyon, and Dum=Munich/Lyon. As the Catalog describes, this car set routing is from Munich to Lindau, while 4 out of 5 do not show Lindau at all. (Other passenger car sets from Marklin I have, the printed destination sign board matches each other, and I thought it is normal) I just found this when I was wiping cars, and hope to know the background if this combination is correct yet routing is Munich/Lindau. If anyone knows about this, I am very happy if you can help me :) thank you seanshintaro

Trains meeting at a station and exchanging coaches. AB coaches with first and second class were often used for that purpose as they could exchange two classes with just a single coach. This led to trains having passenger coaches before and behind the baggage car. Märklin advertises the coach set as an authentic composition for the Munich-Lindau route. Some coaches would then go further to other destinations. According to a post on DSO the train route in 1973 was München-Lindau-Zürich-Geneve with through coaches to Freiburg, Chur and Lyon.

I believe what you've mentioned is the reason, and it does make sense and is indeed convenient for DB and/or other companies to do so. I thank you again for your clarification and the link. It is in German, but I tried to read and seems the person raised exactly same question I did :) best regards sean
