Marklin 46779 - District Inspector's Class KLV 04 Gang Car

 Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) 3-seat class KLV 04 district inspector's gang car, open variant without a roof. 

Model: The superstructure is constructed of metal. The model has a prototypical paint scheme and lettering. The model also has interior details. It is not powered but can be rolled. Length approximately 2.8 cm / 1-1/8".

One-time series.

Production of different versions of these vehicles as successors to the class KLV 01 was started in the Forties. The class KLV 04 was available as the type C3 (with a relatively large storage area) with a permanent superstructure and with a hinged roof, i.e. as a convertible, which was later rebuilt in part to a permanent superstructure due to the limited life span of the folding roof. The class KLV 04 was equipped with a 2-cylinder, 2-cycle motor and often had a 10 liter / approximately 2.5 gallon gasoline tank.
