Operation and model details

Three FlixTrain cars with LEDs, capacitors and current-conducting couplers.
Car 6 from set 42958 supplies the consist, which must follow the specified vehicle order.
Sets 42957 and 42958 together measure approximately 1,415 mm without a locomotive.

The Märklin H0 version uses the centre-contact three-rail system on 16.5 mm track.
For locomotives the electrical system is essential; a corresponding Trix H0 two-rail version is a different reference.
With cars, wheelsets, couplers and any electrical supply must be considered together.

For layout planning, compare the stated minimum radius with turnouts, reverse curves and platform clearances. The quoted length of a car set is the consist length rather than the length of each car.

Scale model for adult collectors aged 15 and over. Manufacturer photos show the model configuration; scenery and layout equipment outside the described contents are not automatically included.
