Marklin 8904: auto set worth considering or reconsidering!

In the program forever maybe (?) is the Marklin 8904 Bausatz PKW (automotive) set. Here is a nice build kit worth considering in the current paint schemes and car types.

Four car types each including 3 of each in various paint schemes. Note: each car type is packaged separately with complementary parts. A simple snap and glue kit of 3 parts for a finished car: shell, frame and glazing. The solid glazing part is sandwiched between the shell and frame after applying two tiny drops of glue, I used Faller Super Expert which is a solvent based glue that dries fast.

Originally designed as an accessory to use on a layout these cars also fill out the load on the auto transport cars including the last release car set 87092 which included 3 auto transport cars DDm 915.

If you need to fill up a parking lot quick this kit takes a little more than a minute a car and includes 12 autos with good detailing. As an added bonus each car can be customized by painting in the bumpers and lamps. Add a white roof to add contrast to the rest of the car.

A real bargain selling for $1.25 a car! Can’t beat that! And will be rust free forever!
