Details

The Märklin 47401 is a highly detailed H0 scale Niederflurwagen (low-floor transport wagon) of type Xaadkms, operated by BLS AG. This specialised railway service wagon represents a modern maintenance and construction vehicle used for transporting road vehicles required at railway work sites. Finished in a realistic agate-grey livery, it depicts the operational condition from around 2025 in Era VI.

The model features a robust metal wagon body combined with finely engineered functional components, including removable and pivoting buffer beams for flexible operation. It is supplied with detailed accessories such as wheel chocks for securing road vehicles, special coupling systems for low-floor wagons, and additional short couplers for compatibility with standard rolling stock. The wagon is also designed to couple with vehicles conforming to NEM buffer height standards, ensuring wide operational flexibility across different layouts.

Measuring 23.2 cm over buffers, this model is ideal for modern-era freight and service trains and integrates seamlessly into Märklin H0 AC digital and analogue systems. It is designed for realistic operation as part of construction trains, maintenance formations, or specialised freight consists.
