Märklin 433X0 , SBB Lightweight Steel passenger car series

Updated 01.03.2014

This is not a car set, but a series of Märklin SBB single passenger cars I have combined:  I think they were meant to be so by Märklin.
43360-43370-43380-43390-43400-43410

Märklin 43360, SBB Type A 2231, 1. class

L = 26,0 cm.

Märklin 43370, SBB Type B 5581, 2. class

L = 26,0 cm

Märklin 43380, SBB Type B 6124, 2. class

L = 26,0 cm.

Märklin 43390 SBB  WR 10121, restaurant car

L = 26,0 cm.

Märklin 43400, SBB Type D 18926, Baggage car

L = 21,1 cm.

Märklin 43410 SBB Type ABt 50 85 38-33 930-2 control car

L = 26,6 cm.  The control car is one era newer than the other cars, but I still think it fits very well with the rest of the cars.
This car is rebuilt to digital control with a Märklin 60961 function decoder and a relay, including driver's cab interior light  The relay will supply the other coaches with current for interior light via current conducting couplers.  I will use the Märklin interior light unit 73400  in the coaches (two in each coach), except for the baggage car, where I have made my own arrangement.  I also have to find some more passengers to ride in the train.

For details, see Märklin 43410, SBB control car.

This locomotive will pull this six-coach passenger train:

Märklin 39420, SBB Re 4/4 10015

Total train length approx 170 cm.
