Are you looking for a high-quality passenger car for your H0 layout that is authentic, detailed, and a perfect fit for Era IV? With the Artitec 20.158.05 Plan W, W1 473-9, in the NS Intercity version, you’ll be putting a model on the tracks that stands for accuracy, stability, and the classic look of Dutch Intercity trains from the 1970s and 1980s.

Historically accurate appearance for Era IV

The Plan W was a staple of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) fleet during Era IV. This model of the car faithfully reproduces the distinctive shape and color scheme of the Intercity design. With its precise printing and clean lines, the car is a true asset to any H0 model layout, both visually and functionally.

Exact reproduction in 1:87 scale

Artitec placed the utmost importance on prototypical accuracy with the W1 473-9 model. The car impresses with a clean reproduction of the typical window layout, car lettering, and IC color scheme. Thanks to its high build quality, the car is not only a showstopper but also a sturdy addition to any layout.

Designed for a 2L DC system

The car is designed for operation on H0 layouts with 2-wire direct current (DC). This makes it compatible with most common systems and allows for immediate use in model railroad operations. The NEM-compliant coupler housing with close-coupling kinematics ensures a tight, prototypical car transition—even when navigating curves and turnouts.

Classic analog operation without digital functions

The Artitec 20.158.05 Plan W is a model without digital functions—it includes neither sound nor factory-installed interior lighting. It is therefore aimed at model railroaders who prefer classic operating scenarios or who wish to retrofit their vehicles themselves in a targeted manner. Its clean, basic design provides an ideal foundation for this.

Versatile combinations for realistic train sets

Whether as a single car or part of an entire IC train set, the Plan W can be used flexibly. Especially on cross-border or international layouts, it adds an authentic touch and provides attractive visual variety to the fleet.
