Kres 4912D railcar Gläserner Zug ex ET 9101, 491 001-4, DB, Ep. IV (digital) Product Details
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: With this model, Kres offers a replica of the glass train as it was used by the DB in Era IV. The precisely reproduced exterior of the railcar shows many of the structural details of this period, which were the result of modernization. The lettering also corresponds to Era IV and has been replicated precisely and true to the original. The built-in digital decoder allows a variety of lighting functions to be controlled separately as desired. These include the interior lighting, which sets the scene for the detailed interior fittings. As the model allows a very good view of the interior of the car, particular emphasis was placed on the interior fittings. The model is powered by a powerful motor, which ensures excellent driving characteristics thanks to its very smooth running.
