Lenz 41160-80 0-gauge set of 3 Prussian compartment coaches, DB, Era III: Historical elegance in 0-gauge

The Lenz 41160-80 0-gauge set of 3 offers an authentic reproduction of Prussian compartment cars that were in use on the German Federal Railroad (DB) in Era III. With a precise design and loving details, this set brings the history of German mass transit to your model railroad layout. These cars are perfect for recreating the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s on your gauge 0 layout.

The prototype: Prussian compartment cars in the service of the German Federal Railroad

The Prussian compartment cars were a central pillar of passenger transportation during the time of the Royal Prussian Railway Company (KPEV). After the Second World War, the Deutsche Bundesbahn took over many of these carriages in order to meet the demand for reliable vehicles in local transport. Typical of these vehicles were the different designs and adaptations, which underlined their versatility and functionality.

This set consists of three compartment cars that reflect the characteristic features of Era III in their respective designs. With their DB lettering and prototypical paint scheme, they fit seamlessly into historic train sets. All of the cars have three axles, which was typical for this type of vehicle, and represent the condition of the 1950s and 1960s.

Technical features and workmanship

The cars are equipped with many detailed features, including prototypical roof superstructures, finely designed buffer beams and precisely executed axle bearings. Each car in the set has a digital interface so that they can be easily integrated into digital layouts. The robust design ensures stability and a long service life, while the intricate details emphasize the appearance of the vehicles.

This set includes three specific car types: A 1st class type B3 Pr 10a car with a brakeman's cab and two 2nd class type C3 Pr 11 cars without a brakeman's cab. The combination of these cars allows a prototypical representation of historical train formations. Each car is designed for operation on 2-conductor direct current systems (DC).

Care and maintenance

The cars are low-maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. The fine details such as roof superstructures and axles in particular benefit from careful care. The digital interface facilitates future adaptations and extensions so that the trolleys will also meet the requirements of your system in the long term.
