Product description

Model: The interior details of the cars are multi-colored. The interior of the "Kinderland-Wagen" / "Children's Land Car" is newly designed with separately installed details such as play tables and a slide. Both cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting. A buffer capacitor is built into each car to bridge over temporary spots without current. The cars are equipped with operating, current-conducting close couplers. The interior lighting works in conjunction with the dining car from the 43767 car set. The assigned order of the cars must be maintained for this purpose. The trucks, roof shapes, side walls, underbodies, and skirting are specific to the types of cars. The car route signs and sequence numbers are imprinted on the cars.

The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Both cars are individually packaged and there is also a master package.

Length over the buffers approximately 56.4 cm / 22-3/16".
