This passenger car in the Intercity design of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) from Era IV brings a piece of European railroad tradition to your layout—authentic, precisely detailed, and ready for operation on a DC system.

Typical NS Intercity car – Plan W in Era IV

The Plan W was an integral part of Dutch Intercity trains in the 1970s and 1980s. The W1 471-3 model is an exact reproduction of this car type—including the typical IC paint scheme and finely detailed design. This makes it an excellent fit for train sets from this era or as a single car in realistically mixed formations.

Prototype-accurate reproduction in H0 scale

Artitec stands for the highest model quality, and this car is no exception. The intricate design of the car body, crisply printed lettering, and harmonious color scheme make it a real eye-catcher. Even upon closer inspection, the car impresses with its precise reproduction and high level of prototypical accuracy.

Designed for DC layouts—ready for immediate use

The car is designed for the 2-wire DC system and is therefore compatible with standard H0 DC layouts. It features a NEM-compliant coupler shaft with close-coupling kinematics—ideal for tight curves and smooth transitions between cars without excessive buffer spacing.

No digital functions—classic analog operation

The passenger car is not digitized and does not feature sound—perfect for modelers who prefer classic operation or specifically want to recreate realistic, non-electronic train sets. Of course, the car can be retrofitted with interior lighting or additional features upon request.

Suitable for collectors and operational model railroaders alike

Whether as a highlight in a display case or for daily operation on the layout—this Plan W car is an excellent choice for anyone who values historical authenticity and high-quality craftsmanship. Collectors of Dutch rail vehicles and international rail enthusiasts in particular will find this model truly satisfying.
