I received my 48059 SBB Swiss Post Sliding Wall cars. The set of three contains one car with German advertising, one with French and one with Italian slogans for Swiss Post. Contrary to some initial reports, I have not seen any issues as far as the livery not matching.
This set will make for a very nice short train behind one of my various SBB Cargo or SBB Loks.

Photos of model to follow...

This photo could be recreated by taking a pair of the Maerklin cars with a single container car from Liliput (240035 type)

Nice Mike! I might need a set. Are they normally run as trains this short?

Depending on the run, these cars are often run alone or in combination with container cars (see Liliput 240035) or other Post cars.

I have seen photos of these cars with Re 420 (Re4/4II) and Re 620 (Re 6/6) in green, red or cargo livery.

My postal trains now consist of my Roco 4241 with the RailTop Z4 and Roco's Z2 (Green), Roco's Z2 with RailTop's Z4 in yellow and white/yellow, Liliput's 240035-240042 container cars and now Maerklin's new cars. The only caveat is that the new cars should not be operated with the Z2 as those cars were withdrawn when the new ones entered service.
