Hi Steven,

by accident I found these new TEE-coaches from Piko.

http://www.piko-shop.de/...ppe_id=0&x=0&y=0

I do not know, if you like Piko. But I do not know, if the colours from Piko are the same as the ones at Maerklin coaches. In other words: if you use both coaches in one train, do you see a difference in the colour?

Anyhow - do you think their grey roof will fit into the Maerklin insider train set too?

I am thinking to add to my Parsifal insider train another dining car with a pantograph.

regards

TEEWolf

You would notice the length difference. The PIKO coaches would be correct 1:87 scale, ie 303mm
Marklin only make 1:93.5 for UIC coaches so they can navigate R1 curves.

Hi Steven, i came across a 42993 set, it is not TEE but they are in red/beige livery with grey roof, if the color match perhaps it will runs nice with the Parsifal set, i would be interested too but i think one needs to see them in the real to know.

Hi, i came into that detail also, in the description they only say the lenght of the full consist, they are just a couple of mm short. Perhaps when your Parsifal arrives you could check and told usLOL

The Piko coaches are 1:87, so they are 303 mm or 316 mm long.
The Märklin coaches are 282 or 283 mm long, so they are 1:93.5 or 1:97 - up to 33 mm too short.

The Piko coaches can take R1 curves, that is no problem. They may collide with bridges, signal masts or catenary masts. Märklin coaches have reduced width to avoid those issues.

The TEE coaches were available in the following sets:

26540 TEE Rheinpfeil
26557 TEE Bavaria (Re 4/4I plus SBB WRm)

00776 TEE "Blauer Enzian" (12 Cars)
43853 TEE "Helvetia" Set 1
43854 TEE "Helvetia" Set 2
43859 TEE "Bavaria" Set with DB ARDümh (no Lok) (as operated for a few months in 1971)
43855 Avümh111 (add-on for 26540)
43865 Apümh121 (add-on for 26540)
43866 WRümh132 (Helvetia) (Set 3)

Trix
23477 TEE Roland (12 Cars)
21238 (see 26557)
23421 Avümh111 (single coaches same as 26540 possible different numbers)
23422 Apümh121
23423 ADümh101
23424 WRümh131
23425 Avümh111 (same as 43855 possible different number)
23427 TEE "Bavaria" same as 43859

The Parsifal Set (43856/Trix 23475) is to be released soon.
I don't know whether the Maerklin and Trix sets will have the same coach numbers

The description shows a pair of Avmz207, a single Apmz121, a WRmz132 and ARDmh105. The Apmz, WRmz and ARDmh have black skirts, the Avmz have red skirts.
If you are looking for coaches that you could add to this consist, the most suitable would be the Apmz121 from the 43858 (Steildach) or the 43307 Avmz207. The problem is that both of those coaches would likely have revision dates from the mid-80s, which would not fit with the late 1970s "Parsifal". The remaining option would be the Avümh111 from the 43859 or 26557 "Bavaria" Sets, both of which would have early 1970s revision dates and livery.

The actual consist should be as listed here:
http://www.welt-der-mode...hn.com/tee-parsifal.html
http://www.welt-der-mode...4265436/tee_parsifal.pdf
http://www.welt-der-mode...4265436/parsifal_all.pdf

Some of the coaches ran from Hamburg to Paris. Others were limited to Aachen to Paris or Hamburg to Aachen. (See PDFs for details)

As far as I know, all of the 28cm TEE/IC coaches from Maerklin have been produced with destination signs for assorted routes. Your last option may be to buy two sets and keep the additional coaches to extend your train as desired. Maybe you could apply new coach numbers and car numbers.
From what I can tell, a 6 coach train would be prototypical for the segment Hamburg-Aachen. On weekends, the train would run Hmb-Aachen with only 5 coaches and receive a 6th in Aachen. The segment Aachen to Paris and back would also be 6 coaches, so the set could also be used for the French or Belgian sections. This set represents the train as it appeared in late 1978 and early 1979.

I am eagerly awaiting my 103 and Parsifal coaches, but no notice yet on mine. I am guessing that it will at least be several weeks until I get it. That makes threads like this really great. They help to distract me, while I wait for the real thing. BigGrin

The anticipation builds. Cool

Thank you applor for your hint. I was not aware about PIKOs scale. Then of course it does not make sense to me to buy it.

Particularly I just got my tin plate Rheingold in beige/blue, which has a 1:100 scale. This is absolutely fine to me, because from my teenager time, I still remain a Rheingold as a tin plate train in beige/red, which is also 1:100 scale. 50 years ago I built by myself a current collector on the last wagon of this train and now I am looking for a similar coach in the 1:93.5 scale.

The Märklin tin-plate Rheingold is 1:87 (era II) or 1:110 (era III, each coach too short by 63 mm or about 2.5 inches), but not 1:100.

Nice contrast to have coaches in 1:87 from era II and era III as it shows the progress in prototype lengths and the correct proportions between locos and coaches.

Hi Tom,

Would you mind expanding on your last comment? Which coaches are the era II and which are era III? What is Marklin's reason for using different scales? I have this set but have not had a chance to run it yet. I have run the 30390 loco, which is beautiful.

Thanks,
David

The coaches in the Parsifal set are shortened by up to 33 mm (as mentioned earlier in this thread) while the loco has full length.

See these old posts for discussions about different length scales (there are many more on this site):

Era II: 4228 and 4228x, also available in 26xxx sets with steam loco.

Originally Posted by: AmalfiCoast Go to Quoted Post

Historic reasons. People who built their layouts for shortened coaches now have problems with scale models.

To get coaches through bridges and past signal and catenary masts, Märklin limit the coaches of the Parsifal set to 283 mm length instead of the full scale length of 316 mm, so you get 1:97 instead of 1:87.
Shorter prototypes are nowadays made in 1:87. Longer prototypes are either made at reduced length or at full length (292 mm or 303 mm) but with problems at bridges etc.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your detailed response. I must have misunderstood because I thought we were talking about the 40850 Rheingold Tin-Plate set.

But now I do understand why the scales vary, so thank you.

I think TEEWolf spake about the 40850 set - but it is 1:110, not 1:100 as he wrote.

And oddly enough there isn't any indication of the length scaling in the typical iconography at the end of the listing 40850 one would expect ( 1:110 or whatever).
So with Märklin one must do one's own maths to compute the length scale if it matters to you.

You have to make the calculation even if there is a length-scale icon in the product description.

With the Parsifal set, the icon only applies to 60% of the coaches. With other sets it is 100% wrong.

I was reading in one of the German forums that this set comes equipped with a new type of current conducting close couplers. I would be interested in seeing a close up photo with detail to see how it compares the the 72020 type and to the standard 7203 coupler head.

The issue is derailment on curved 1st radius. The coupling bent up to hit and stuck with buffers on curved tracks.

I decide to bend coupling down and avoid buffers and I try on curved and no derailment.

So it looks to me the current conducting coupler (CCC) on the set are the same as the existing Märklin CCC design. Or is there some visible difference?

Very nice looking set Stephen ThumpUp ThumpUp

I have not looked at this set in any detail as I have quite a few TEE coach sets and feel I don't need another, but is there anything new with this offering (other than lights and conductor couplings which feature on many of the other sets)?
Don't look back, your not heading that way.

Hi, my Parsifañ arrived today, it is a nice set and run well just out of the box with no derailments in my test oval, C track with R1 and R2.

I received my insider package (103.1 and 5 coaches) completly too. No problem with all 5 coaches and still no derailing or decoupling recognized yet. I have two spots in my layout wheras I do have derailings quite often, but no decoupling. But with my new Parsifal no problems occured yet. The complete train is running very smoothly, like my Lufthansa Airport Express with the 103.

So if one used an electronic decoupled track the cars would be decoupale from the locomotive, yes? That is more what I'm interested in, that the Märklin coupler redesign didn't mess up the ability to decouple on track.

My experience with RTS design couplers is not very good as for uncoupling, it is a hard thing to do.
Those new couplers couple and uncouple far more easy IMHO
