Model features - realistic, robust, ready to run

The car offers an individually designed interior, free-standing steps and handrails as well as first-class rolling characteristics. Interior lighting can be retrofitted thanks to the integrated preparation (suitable set available separately). The model is true to scale with a running height of 303 mm.

Prototype: Halberstadt cars as the backbone of DR local transportation

In the 1970s and 80s, these wagons were part of everyday life on the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Whether in classic passenger trains or in push-pull operation - the Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were indispensable for decades thanks to their robust design and good maintainability.

Operating behavior & compatibility

Suitable for H0 DC layouts with a minimum radius of 358 mm. The car has an NEM shaft with close coupler link and can be easily integrated into classic DR train formations - whether individually or with other mid-entry cars and matching locomotives such as the class 110, 118 or 106.
