Based on: The shortage of coaches in the '50's forced the DB to renovate and convert older coaches. That's how the 3-axle convert coaches for local traffic, type 3yg (article 8096-8099) came into being. For the conversion job, the old chassis were cut out to a suitable length and fitted with a new body and interior details. The forerunners of the convert coaches were the 3-axle Prussian compartment coaches which had to remain in service up until the end of the '50's. They are included in the FLEISCHMANN range in the DB logo version (article 8792-8795). Typical locos used to haul these 3-axle convert coaches would be for example, the Class 65 steam loco (7065) or the Class 86 (7086), whilst for the 3-axle Prussian compartment coaches the former Prussian T 18 tank loco would be eminently suitable (Class 78, article 7077).
