Description

Piko 28020 H0 Halberstadt center entrance control car, DB AG, Ep. V - Reversible train operation with cult character

The Piko Halberstadt center entrance control car with Wittenberg head is the perfect model for authentic Deutsche Bahn AG push-pull trains in Era V. These driving trailers were converted from classic DR mid-entry cars and characterized regional traffic throughout Germany until well into the 2000s - especially in the new federal states.

Detailing & equipment - realistic and suitable for operation

The model features a detailed interior, finely reproduced doors and free-standing steps, grab rails and windshield wipers. Interior lighting can be retrofitted (matching set available separately). With a running length of 303 mm, the cab control car is an ideal match for the center entrance cars of the same series.

Prototype: Control car with Wittenberg head - everyday life in the region

In order to make push-pull train operation more efficient, many Halberstadt cars were equipped with a new head piece - the so-called Wittenberg head. Together with the BR 143, BR 112 or BR 218, these driving trailers formed the backbone of local transport in Era V and were mainly used on regional services in the east and center.

Compatibility & model railroad operation

The car is designed for DC systems with a minimum radius of 358 mm. It has an NEM shaft with close coupler link and can therefore be ideally combined with other Piko mid-entry cars or matching DB regional locomotives.
