Kres 51047034 H0 BR 670 double-decker rail bus: Innovative local transport in Era V

The Kres 51047034 H0 BR 670 double-decker rail bus is an exclusive replica of a unique Deutsche Bahn rail vehicle from the 1990s. With state-of-the-art technology, AC sound, digital control and detailed interior lighting, this model is an excellent addition to all era V layouts in H0 scale.

The prototype: The BR 670 double-decker rail bus

The BR 670 series double-decker rail bus was developed in the early 1990s as an innovative local transportation concept. The aim was to offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for low-frequency routes. The idea was to enable a higher passenger capacity in a compact space by using a double-decker design.

Of the six vehicles originally built, the 670 004-1 was used by Deutsche Bahn AG (DBAG) in Era V. The eye-catching design and the striking window front gave the vehicle a modern look. Despite the innovative design, however, the concept was not successful in the long term, which is why the BR 670 is a rarity on German tracks today.

Era V: Deutsche Bahn AG and new vehicle concepts

Era V (1990-2006) was characterized by the privatization of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Deutsche Reichsbahn to form Deutsche Bahn AG (DBAG). This period brought forth numerous new vehicle concepts to modernize regional transport. The BR 670 was part of this development and was tested as an experimental vehicle for new local transport solutions.
