The set of 2 local train carriages 2x 2nd class DB IV brings the aesthetics and functionality of Era IV to your model railway layout. This new item from 2025 includes two 2nd class express train carriages in the characteristic POP colors and green. With their true-to-original design, outstanding running characteristics and detailed workmanship, these cars are an excellent choice for collectors and model railroad enthusiasts alike.
In the 1970s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) introduced the so-called "pop livery" to make rail transport more attractive and modern. These colour schemes were characterized by bold colors and high-contrast accents. The 2nd class express train coaches reproduced here embody this era and reflect the practical yet aesthetic design that was typical of DB's local transport services. With their striking look and clear functionality, these cars were an integral part of daily rail traffic.
As one of the leading model train manufacturers, PIKO stands for high-quality model trains that impress with their attention to detail, quality and innovation. The company has been a reliable partner for model railroaders worldwide for decades. With the set of 2 DB IV commuter coaches, PIKO has created another highlight that sets standards not only visually but also technically.
Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of change for the railroad in Germany. It brought modern designs and technical advances, while steam locomotives were slowly replaced by diesel and electric traction. The wagon set presented here with the typical POP color scheme is a symbol of this era and brings the nostalgic charm of the 1970s to your model railway layout.
The set is designed for H0 gauge and is ideal for model railway layouts of any size. With a length over buffers of 606 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the carriages offer excellent running characteristics. The NEM shafts and close coupler link ensure a secure connection and enable a realistic driving image.
The commuter cars are designed for direct current. However, they can easily be converted for AC systems with the optionally available exchange wheel sets (#56060). This flexibility makes the set attractive to a wide range of model railroaders.
The cars are painted in the iconic POP colors and green that were typical for Era IV. The high-contrast paintwork gives the models an authentic look. The flush-mounted windows provide a clear view into the lovingly designed passenger compartment and emphasize the attention to detail of the models.
PIKO relies on the highest quality standards for this car set. The models are characterized by robust materials and precise manufacturing. The excellent running characteristics ensure reliable operation, while the fine details make the set a real eye-catcher.
The set offers a wide range of customization options, even if the trolleys are not prepared for interior lighting at the factory. With the exchange wheel sets (#56060), the models can easily be converted to AC operation. Matching figures or accessories can be added for an even more realistic representation.
The set of 2 local train carriages 2x 2nd class DB IV is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to experience the variety and charm of Era IV on their model railway layout. With their true-to-original POP paintwork and excellent technical features, these models will enrich any collection.
