Product Features and Details
The cars that were delivered from 1982 onwards featured the new green and ivory colored paint for express cars. Some cars were given the orange-ivory color; these reinforced the city express trains. By1983, a total of 1279 cars of the Bmhe type were built. They were conducted under the DOK number 2329. Starting in 1981, ten cars were used by the DR to test the central power supply (ZEV) in the locomotive. These cars had the designation Bmhee. Until 1989, there were no major changes in the Bmh cars (the „e“ was dropped in 1987). Together with the Reko cars and modernization cars, they formed the backbone of the passenger and express train fleet in the DR for many years, putting their stamp on the image of DR trains.
