The prototype: Halberstadt center entrance control car

The Halberstadt center-entry cab control cars were developed to increase efficiency in regional traffic. With their characteristic head shape and striking mint green color scheme, they were a symbol of modern regional transport in Era V (1990-2006). Thanks to the control cars, the train could be controlled from both ends, making it unnecessary to move the locomotive.

DB AG in Era V: modernization and efficiency

The founding of Deutsche Bahn AG in 1994 marked the beginning of a new era in German rail transport. Era V was characterized by modernization, standardization and new colour concepts. The mint green livery was typical of regional transport and reflected the progress and fresh corporate identity of DB AG. Control cars like this one were essential to meet the requirements for flexible and efficient train operation.

Piko: Precision and quality

The renowned manufacturer Piko stands for detailed models with high-quality materials and innovative technology. The Piko 28025 impresses with its precise implementation of the striking head shape and the crystal-clear, flush-mounted windows. A look at the driver's cab and the passenger compartment shows the lovingly designed details. Free-standing steps, windshield wipers and grab rails complete the authentic overall impression.

Technical highlights of the AC version

The model is equipped with a factory-fitted PluX16 function decoder, which facilitates operation on AC systems. The direction of travel-dependent light change in white and red as well as the illuminated train destination display offer additional realism. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 303 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model can be used in a variety of ways. The option of retrofitting interior lighting makes it even more flexible.
