There are factory-installed, current-conducting, close coupler heads between the individual cars. The cars must be coupled in a defined sequence for this.

Charlie's Tips

The Marklin 43629 cars have to be coupled in a certain order for the interior lights to work. This because of the location of the decoder.

The heavyweight passenger car set, item 43629, matches the US “Challenger” steam locomotive, item Marklin 39913.

A DC version of this heavyweight passenger car set is available at Ajckids.com in the Trix H0 range as item Trix 23729.
