Key Features & Highlights

Prototype history: The Prussian State Railways developed the P 8 to meet increased passenger and express service demands, with over 3,700 units built by 1923. After World War I, Poland received 192 locomotives from Prussian stocks; eventually, up to 429 OK1 class locomotives served the PKP. The last of the type was withdrawn from active service in the early 1980s, with some preserved for museum operations.

Coupling: Fitted with NEM 362 standard shaft and close-coupling "KK" mechanism, ensuring realistic train compositions and smooth running.
Prototype-accurate livery: Deep green finish characteristic of PKP express service in the period, capturing the transitional postwar aesthetic. The Bhixt-type coaches were passenger cars used extensively by the Polish State Railways (Polskie Koleje Panstwowe - PKP) from the postwar period through the 1980s. Most of these vehicles originated as German-built coaches from the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG) during the 1930s and 1940s, such as the C4ue and AB4ue types. After World War II, many of these cars remained in Poland and were incorporated into the PKP fleet as part of the railway reconstruction effort.
PKP modified and modernized the inherited stock to meet domestic standards - adding electric heating, changing interiors, and repainting them in the characteristic dark green PKP livery. Reclassified as Bhixt (2nd class), these coaches were used on both long-distance and regional express services, linking major Polish cities and even operating on cross-border routes into neighboring Eastern Bloc countries.
