The Märklin German Federal Railway Passenger Mixed Train Set 26609 is a detailed H0‑scale model of a typical early‑1950s local branch‑line “passenger with freight” (PmG) train. The set includes a DB Class 98.3 “Glass Box” tank locomotive with digital mfx+ decoder and sound, two Bavarian‑style 3rd‑class passenger coaches with LED interior lighting, and a 2‑axle covered goods wagon (type G 10) with brakeman’s cab for freight or parcels.
This combination reproduces the multirole trains that served rural and branch lines after WWII — transporting both people and goods in a compact consist. With high‑detail construction, operational digital electronics, and realistic styling, this set is ideal both for serious layout operation and for display/collector use.
