Are you looking for a highly detailed N-gauge dining car that convincingly brings the international EuroCity atmosphere and Czech long-distance rail service to your layout? The ASM 195473 N EC 100 Dining Car, WRmz 815, CD, Ep. VI is a high-quality addition for model railroaders who appreciate modern passenger cars with precise construction and clear adherence to the prototype. The model depicts a WRmz 815 dining car of the Czech Railways (České Dráhy) and is assigned to the EC 100 from the 2006 operating year.
Dining cars, in particular, add a special touch to a passenger train formation. They differ significantly from classic passenger cars and lend a EuroCity train greater variety and character. When combined with matching Ampz 146 and Bmz 245 cars, you can recreate a harmonious international long-distance train that fits perfectly with Era VI.
The model impresses with its prototype-accurate exterior and interior design. The paint scheme and decals are precisely rendered and based on the condition of the prototype. Many separately applied parts, some made of etched metal, ensure a refined and high-quality model appearance. As a result, the dining car is suitable not only for layout operation but also for discerning collectors.
Of particular interest are the highly detailed reproductions of the car skirts and underbody, as well as the separately mounted components. The SGP-300 bogies are also precisely reproduced and feature fine engravings. Such details give the car a realistic appearance and make it an attractive N-gauge model even upon closer inspection.
The prototype was developed against the backdrop of growing passenger rail traffic and the need to provide cars capable of a maximum permitted speed of 200 km/h. Starting in 1999/2000 and again in 2006, Czech Railways (Ceské Dráhy) procured EuroCity 1st- and 2nd-class passenger cars, as well as matching dining cars, from Siemens in Austria. The car design was heavily based on the pressurized passenger cars delivered to the Austrian Federal Railways starting in 1989, but was further refined both technically and visually.
The dining car was designed with a bistro area at one end and a restaurant area at the other. This layout makes the WRmz 815 a particularly distinctive vehicle within the train set. The cars were primarily used on EuroCity trains from Hamburg and Kiel to Prague, but were also used on domestic Czech routes and on trains to Slovakia. Destinations such as Aarhus, Binz, Szczecin, Ljubljana, Linz, Vienna, and Budapest were or are among the destinations served by these cars.
The ASM 195473 is designed for the 2L DC system and features a NEM-compliant coupler shaft with KK kinematics. This allows the car to be seamlessly integrated into compatible train sets. The provision for installing interior lighting from the accessory line makes the model particularly appealing to model railroading enthusiasts who wish to further enhance the visual appeal of their passenger cars.
With a length over buffers of 168.1 mm, the WRmz 815 adds a harmonious presence to the train set. If you’re looking for a modern dining car based on an international prototype, featuring fine detailing and the appropriate EC-100 designation, the ASM 195473 is a compelling choice. Add this CD dining car to your N-gauge layout and create high-quality EuroCity trains from Era VI with a distinctive character.
