Details

The Märklin 58837 is a highly detailed Gauge 1 (1:32 scale) covered freight wagon model representing a privately owned GL 11 boxcar of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Era III. This special edition model is finished in an eye-catching advertising livery for the Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus AG “Tannenzäpfle” beer brand, created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the product. It is designed as a premium collector’s item that combines prototypical accuracy with striking promotional graphics, making it a standout addition to any Gauge 1 layout or display collection.

The wagon features a long, finely moulded body with a characteristic arched roof and detailed wooden plank sidewalls. The sliding doors are fully functional and can be opened, revealing the level of interior detail included in the model. Numerous separately applied details enhance realism, including door fittings, underframe components, and finely executed external fittings. The wagon is finished with high-quality printing and precise lettering that accurately reflects the prototype’s advertising design and DB-era operation.

Built to a scale of 1:32, the model runs on Gauge 1 track systems and is designed for a minimum operating radius of 1,020 mm. With a length over buffers of 37.5 cm, it offers impressive presence and robust running characteristics suitable for both exhibition layouts and high-end home model railway systems.
