Märklin 47877, SNCB  "old-timer freight train

Updated 26.01.2014

Märklin 47877:

This train set was a export model for Belgium in 2003.  I bought mine in Drammen, Norway in 2005

Inside the box:

Train length = 48 cm.

47877-1, SNCB open car with lids 10220067

L = 8,3 cm.

47877-2, SNCB open car with lids 10220072

L = 7,6 cm.

47877-3, SNCB tank  car 501795

L = 10 cm.

47877-4, SNCB box car 3316053

L = 14,2 cm.

47877-1, SNCB container car 1074422

L = 11,1 cm.
The three containers are individually numbered 72829, 72833 and 72839, printed in the small rectangle in the upper left corner.
VAN HUIS TOT HUIS on one side, DE PORTE A PORTE on the other side.  I presume that this means "from house to house".

The numbers are hardly visible to the naked eye, but a good macro lens reveals it all:

The small rectangle is 2,0 x 4,65 mm.  The print quality is astonishing, even at the rough surface.

I think this locomotive will do well in front of the cars:
Märklin 34156, SNCB 26.005

L = 26,7 cm
