- A detailed look at this set.
Prototype: German State Railroad Company (DRG) "Rheingold" express train passenger cars in the original paint scheme around 1928. 1 car, 1st class, without a galley (type SA4ü-28), 1 car, 1st class, with a galley (type SA4ük-28), 1 car, 2nd class, without a galley (type SB4ü-28), 1 car, 2nd class, with a galley (type SB4ük-28), and a baggage car (type SPwü-28).
Model: The cars are highly detailed models with raised lettering, separately applied grab irons, and interior details in different colors. There are retracted diaphragms with crossover plates folded up for the end cars in the set. The table lamps and the marker lights work and can be controlled digitally by installing a function decoder in the baggage car. The 66719 interior lighting kit (1 per car) can be installed in the cars. The cars have NEM coupler pockets with a guide mechanism for close couplers.
Total length over the buffers: 1306.6 mm / 51-7/16".
The Rheingold - Traveling like Kings.
After the catastrophe of World War I and the political upheavals in Europe, traveling began to grow again in popularity. The railroad was used almost exclusively for long distances, since it promised a fast, comfortable mode of conveyance. The sleeping and dining car firms run under private ownership dominated in long distance service. They offered an extensive palette of services up to and including the ultimate luxury. The German State Railroad Company (DRG) did not want to sit on its hands and do nothing with regard to its competition, and this new, self-confident firm was determined to underscore its presence on European rails with a deluxe train possessed of an international quality.
In 1927, the German State Railroad officially disclosed the order for express train passenger cars to form long distance express trains, which were intended to represent innovation and comfort by rail. The "Who's who" of the German car building industry participated in the building of these cars, among others, the firms Waggon und Maschinenfabrik AG, Görlitz and the Waggonfabrik Wegmann & Co.
A total of 26 Rheingold parlor cars were built:
4 cars, 1st class, type SA4ü, with seating for 28
4 cars, 1st class, type SA4üK, with a galley and seating for 20
8 cars, 2nd class, type SB4ü, with seating for 43
10 cars, 2nd class, type SB4üK, with a galley and seating for 29.
For their time they represented the longest German cars with a length of 23.50 meters / 77 feet 1/3/16 inches. The bodies were constructed entirely of steel and the total weight was between 50 and 52 metric tons, i.e. up to 12 metric tons more than a conventional express train passenger car. Trucks (Görlitz II heavy) were developed just for the "Rheingold" series. They had to withstand high train speeds and had a wheelbase of 3.60 meters / 11 feet 9-3/4 inches. In addition, there are also 3 baggage cars, type SPw4ü, each with a length over the buffers of 19.68 meters / 64 feet 6-13/16 inches and facilities for goods in bond and for transporting pet dogs. The extremely elegant paint scheme for these prestigious cars attracted attention and interest. Initially, the color scheme for the outer surface of the cars was a kind of plum color with the pier panels in cream, later violet / cream with the widely known golden "Rheingold" lettering. The interior space of the cars offered the highest level of luxury, in first class even individually upholstered arm chairs with high backs. Attention was given to the different wishes of the passengers, so that there were compartments as well as large open parlor areas. The Rheingold had to face comparisons with the Orient Express right from the start, and the passengers enjoyed luxury in the parlor cars as only crowned heads of state had known it in the past. The interior conformed to the taste of that time Famous German artists and architects participated, and the influences of the artistic avant-garde school for building and design in Dessau were reflected, with names such as Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, or Paul Klee involved. The best care was offered to passengers at their seats in the trains running between Basle and Hook of Holland. Customs and passport control were done in the train during the trip, an exception for that time, but one that shorted the travel time considerably. All of the railroads that participated in the operation of the train were convinced of the significance and importance of this train, and it was natural that the most powerful and beautiful locomotives were used as motive power for the Rheingold. The outbreak of World War II brought the Rheingold to an abrupt end and its cars were stored during the war or put to special uses for the German army and the Red Cross and after 1945 for the occupation forces.
Just ordered a set from eBay today. Genuinely looking forward to owning them, then seen this video and it’s reassured the purchase was a good one 🤣
Beautiful train. I really like the classic German passenger cars.
shnorth888 Thanks...all the best .....Jim
Hermoso diseño ese coches clásicos de trenes Rheingold de los años 20.
Hola gracias por mirar
Estoy de acuerdo en que son entrenadores impresionantes.
cuídate Jim
Hi JIm,
Nice models. You are however correct in that the Class 61 locomotive never pulled the Rheingold coaches. It was used on the Dresden - Berlin route pulling the 'Henschel Wegmann' train. This train was made in model by Trix under the catalogue number 21245.
Your Rheingold coaches would go with either a Class 18.5 or a Class 01 locomotive.
Trix is releasing a new version of the Rheingold with a Class 18.5 this year under catalogue number 21928.
Thanks Steven, I have a br 01 somewhere...cool new set...Jim
There are some photographs done around 1930 showing the Rheingold Express with a BR 38 (a Prussian P8) due to the fact that there were not enough fast engines and the Rhine line was not already prepared for a speed over 100kms/h (which the P8 could reach).
You never fail to amaze me with the fantastic rolling stock that you manage to find Jim. I am always impressed with the quality and refinement of them not to mention the little extras like the chip controlled lighting especially considering there age.
Robin
Milton Mo Junction Hi Robin..yeah this set is nearly 10 years old..I have a load of esu yellow lighting units with power backup for this set comeing from Germany so these will look stunning when finished with figures on board etc..
I cannot thank you enough for having posted this video. I am currently trying to install the interior lighting in both Märklin 41928 and 41929 Rheingold sets and in the Henschel-Wegmann train set. The Märklin instructions are, as usual, so poor in explanatory details that it would have taken me a very long time to figure out how to remove the shell from the cars' undercarriages. I resorted to a credit card as the plastic tool to help pry open the cars' bodies.
Armando Garcia you are welcome...they can easy be broken if rushed etc...I also up graded the orient express coaches with capasotors so no more light flicker........Jim
I installed the Märklin LED-lighting set #73400/73401 in the Rheingold coaches and there is no flickering. I also installed a mLd3 Märklin decoder, which now controls the interior lights and the marker lights on the baggage car. Very nice end result. BTW, did you pry open the bodies on your Henschel-Wegmann coaches in the same way that you did for the Rheingold coaches? This is another one Märklin mystery....
Armando Garcia cool work...
No I have not opened up those Wegmann coaches yet...
What a great looking train. Are these coaches still available? Brawa have announced a set of these coaches with a BR 18.5 pacific. Now that will be something worth waiting for!!! Thanks for posting.

What are the differences between these and Märklin's plastic models of the Rheingold? I have those, as well as the tin plate models from Märklin. I am considering BRAWA's set of these cars, due to be released next year. Any thoughts on how those may turn out?
Hi Jim, theese coaches are also very nice. I bought the Marklin set many years ago; includes a steamer in green/black and 6 of theese coaches. i also have the blue/creme rheingold set of 5 coaches.
perhaps also in your planning to buy ?
theese are good to find also from Lilliput for example .
cheers from Onno
Onno Schroor cool....many thanks ..so many nice coaches out there....I am going to get the blue version of these coaches too at some point...thanks for your info on coaches of this type...

Edward Leung HI Thanks...the tools are pva glue spreaders they sell the widely in the u.k or ebay, very good to open arkward coach and loco bodys etc..
