ASM 198102 N Amz Passenger Car, 1st Class, ÖBB, Era VI

Are you looking for a modern ÖBB 1st-class passenger car that will elegantly complement your N-gauge passenger train set? The ASM 198102 N Amz First-Class Passenger Car, ÖBB, Era VI is an ideal choice for model railroading enthusiasts who want to add contemporary Austrian long-distance passenger cars to their collection or layout. As a 1st-class car, it adds a touch of sophistication to modern passenger trains and fits particularly well with international train formations featuring ÖBB elements.

The prototype belongs to the UIC-Z-type passenger cars designed for high-speed service, which were procured by the ÖBB starting in 1989. These cars differ from the original Eurofima design in several distinctive details. These include the deeper skirt, the absence of hinged windows, and corner-mounted tail lights. It is precisely these features that give the car a distinctive appearance and make it appealing to model railroading enthusiasts who wish to recreate modern ÖBB rolling stock as authentically as possible.

ÖBB Amz 1st-Class Passenger Car for Modern Passenger Trains

The ASM 198102 depicts an Amz 1st-class passenger car and is classified as Era VI. This makes the model ideal for contemporary and modern N-gauge railway scenes. Thanks to its compact size, even longer passenger train sets can be displayed in a space-saving manner without sacrificing a realistic train effect.

As part of the upgrade program, the prototype cars were partially rebuilt and modernized. In the process, they received the current paint scheme. This modernization makes the car a fitting addition to modern ÖBB trains and ensures that it blends harmoniously into contemporary passenger train scenes. The new road number also makes this version particularly interesting for collectors who specifically seek out variants of modern ÖBB cars.

Suitable for international EuroCity trains

These cars operate, among other routes, on EuroCity trains from Austria to Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. This makes the ASM 198102 ideal for integration into cross-border passenger train formations. Whether as a single additional car or as part of a longer ÖBB EuroCity train, this model brings the atmosphere of international long-distance travel to your layout.

Technically, the car is also designed for practical model railroad operation. The NEM standard coupler facilitates integration into compatible car formations. The specified minimum curve radius of 228 mm (R2) supports use on typical N-gauge layouts. In addition, the model is prepared for interior lighting, which offers an attractive option for later upgrades, especially for passenger cars.

The ASM 198102 N Amz 1st-Class Passenger Car, ÖBB, Era VI is a compelling addition for anyone wishing to recreate modern ÖBB passenger trains in N-gauge.
