Märklin 43982:

This train set was a limited  edition in in 1998. I got my set in 1998.

Inside the box:

I have removed the plastic protection for the photo.
All the cars have current conducting couplers for the interior light originally installed.
I  have installed 28 Volt bubs in the cars, as I thought that the original 610080 bulbs were too bright.  These old cars had rather dim light, probably not visible at day time.
The plastic bag contains screw coupling replicas.  A pick-up shoe also comes with the set.

Train length = 50 cm

43982-1, K. Bay. Sts. B  2nd class, 10 906

L = 9,7 cm.

All the passenger cars have interior light

L = 9,7 cm.

43982-2, K. Bay. Sts. B  3rd class, 3893

L = 9,7 cm

43982-3, K. Bay. Sts. B  3rd class with post department, 3505

L = 9,7 cm.

43982-4, K. Bay. Sts. B baggage car, 16 216.P

L = ?

This car has two rear red lights, connected to the interior light

The pick-up shoe in the set can be attached to this car, but I prefer power supply from the locomotive.

43982-5, K. Bay. Sts. B. bear car, 85 652

L = 10,1 cm.
This car has a current pass-through to the other cars.  I will probably run it behind the locomotive.

These cars will go well with locomotive 37971, K. Bay Sts. B. Tölz 317:

L = 16,3 cm.   This locomotive hosts a Märklin c90 decoder in the tender. Unfortunately, the brake crank is broken.
Function f0 controls the locomotive's front lights.  I have connected a small relay to f0 as well, to control the power supply to the connected cars, as the locomotive has current conducting couplers originally installed.  Thr rear close coupler is temporary fitted by me for testing purpose only.
