These cars are ideal for an authentic depiction of local transportation in the 1970s and 1980s.

The prototype: DB silver coaches and Bm 232

The silver n-cars, also known as "Silberlinge", shaped the image of local transport in Germany for decades. Due to their robust construction and their characteristic aluminum surface, they were a popular vehicle in passenger transport. Combined with the variant of the Bm 232, this set offers a typical composition from Era IV that perfectly reproduces the regional and local trains of this era.

The DB in Era IV: Variety and standardization

Era IV (1965-1990) was a phase of transition and standardization at the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In addition to new locomotives and wagon types, existing vehicles such as the n-wagons were also modernized and designed in uniform colour schemes. Silberlinge were a central component of these developments and symbolize the practical and functional character of local transport in this era.

Piko: Precision and quality

With this set of 2,Piko is setting standards in terms of attention to detail and quality of workmanship. The models are precisely manufactured on a scale of 1:87 and offer a realistic reproduction of the proportions of the original carriages. High-quality running characteristics ensure reliable operation, while the models also impress when stationary thanks to their detailed appearance. Interior lighting can easily be retrofitted for an individual design.
