Product Features and Details
Prototype: The war scattered express train wagons across half of Europe, with larger stocks outside German railway operators, for instance at ÖBB, SNCF and PKP. These wagons remained invaluable in regional transport for DB and DR up to the late seventies, reaching an age of over forty years. They were also used internationally up to the sixties, travelling as far as Scandinavia and the Balkans. There were many conversions, for instance into sleeping, dining, buffet and semi-luggage carriages. On the occasion of the anniversary in 1985, DB put together an entire train from several different types of express train wagons. Unfortunately, these wagons are today spread over several locations, and only a few of them are operable.
