Kres 4912 railcar Gläserner Zug ex ET 9101, 491 001-4, DB, Ep. IV

About the prototype: 2 electrically powered railcars were built in 1930, which were referred to as glass trains due to their almost completely glazed walls and sloping roofs. One of the two units burned out during a bombing raid on Munich during the Second World War. The other railcar, however, survived the Second World War and was used for a long time for excursions and special trips. These trips were mainly in southern Germany and Austria, but there were also some trips to Switzerland, northern Germany, all the new federal states and the then Czechoslovakia. Over the years, the railcar underwent various modernizations and repainting. The railcar's service life ended in 1995 due to an accident. Since its transfer to the Augsburg Railway Park, it has been restored to museum condition.

About the model: This model from Kres depicts the railcar in the operating condition of Era IV after some modernization and repainting. The analog model has an interface according to NEM 651 in order to be able to use the various lighting functions digitally. The structural features of the original are excellently reproduced by the model and the clearly visible interior also has a large number of details. Excellent running characteristics and a powerful motor complete this all-round successful model.
