Product Features and Details
In 1939 Linke-Hoffmann-Busch developed two prototype coaches which were based on the skirted express passenger coaches of the time. They were provided with streamlined skirts and the ends of the coaches were enclosed. Alterations were also made in the region of the doors which were set back further than in the express coaches and were provided with two swing-back doors to speed up the process of entering or leaving. After the war some coaches came into the hands of the DB and others ended up with the DR. In 1960 the process of renaming the 3rd/2nd class coaches as 2nd/1st class and the 3rd class as 2nd class began. In 1978 the DB still had three coaches as Bye670 and one as Abyse633 in their rolling stock. The DR took the last coaches out of service in 1981. Just three coaches survived as museum coaches in the traditional train in the Traffic Museum in Nuremberg.
