The prototype: Halberstadt mid-entry coach in Era V

The Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were originally developed in the 1960s and underwent modifications in the course of reunification to meet the requirements of the modern DB AG. Their mint green color scheme was characteristic of regional transport in Era V (1990-2006). The coaches were mainly used on branch lines and in local transport, where they impressed with their spacious interior and robust construction.

DB AG in Era V: change and modernization

The founding of Deutsche Bahn AG in 1994 marked the beginning of a new era in German rail transport. Era V was characterized by comprehensive modernization and the introduction of new colour schemes. The mint green livery of the regional trains was a symbol of the fresh wind blowing through the railroad landscape. The Halberstadt middle-boarding car in this color scheme represents this transformation perfectly.

Piko: precision meets attention to detail

Piko stands for model railroads that inspire with their high quality and attention to detail. The Piko 28006 sets standards by precisely reproducing the proportions of the original on a scale of 1:87. The flush-mounted, crystal-clear windows allow a view of the elaborately designed interior, while finely crafted bogies, door replicas and free-standing steps round off the overall picture. The model therefore meets the highest standards of aesthetics and authenticity.
