Minitrix 18251 Type Y/B, CD, Era V Express Train Car Set: Elegant Trains of the Czech Railroad in N Gauge

The Minitrix 18251 Express Train Car Set is a perfect reproduction of two classic Czech Rail road (České dráhy, ČD) passenger cars from Era V. These coaches, type Y/B, are designed for long-distance service and represent the comfort offered by Czech trains in the 1990s. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 306 mm and the typical moss green color scheme, the cars fit perfectly into any N-gauge layout that recreates international express train service.

The prototype: Czech Railroad Y/B express train cars

The Y/B coaches are widespread express train coaches that were used in various European countries. This design was characterized by its robust construction and the high level of comfort required for long-distance transport. This set contains a 2nd class coach with luggage compartment and a 1st class coach, both in the typical paint scheme of Era V. The moss green paint scheme was characteristic of the ČD trains in the 1990s and reflected the modern and at the same time functional design of the time.

Detailed design from Minitrix

The Minitrix 18251 express train car set has an impressive prototypical design and high-quality workmanship. Both cars are equipped with kinematics for close couplers, which ensures a realistic combination of cars and reliable operation on the model railroad layout. The detailed reproduction of the carriages makes them look particularly authentic, so that they are a real highlight on the layout in combination with other trains from Era V or modern locomotives.

Suitable interior lighting can be retrofitted to illuminate the cars in style even in the dark or in night operation scenarios. Minitrix offers the appropriate interior lighting for this with item number MBS167179 (not included), which can be easily retrofitted to further increase the realism.

Technical details of the Minitrix 18251 Express Train Car Set

The set is designed for operation on direct current (DC) layouts and is a perfect fit for N-gauge model railroads. The two cars have a length over buffers (LLP) of 306 mm and are therefore compact enough for small to medium-sized layouts, but offer enough detail for demanding model railroaders. The kinematics for close couplers enable a close and prototypical train formation so that the wagons fit harmoniously into the train formation.

Thanks to the option of retrofitting the carriages with suitable interior lighting, they can also be used perfectly in illuminated scenarios. Thanks to the high-quality materials and the fine printing, the carriages fit seamlessly into the image of international express trains of Era V.

Recommended purchase: A must for fans of international trains

The Minitrix 18251 express train car set is the perfect choice for model railroaders who want to add high-quality, detailed cars from the Czech Railroad to their N-gauge layout.
