The set of 2 AB3yg & B3yg DB IV conversion coaches, a new item from 2025, brings the charming three-axle conversion coaches of the German Federal Railroad into the world of your N-gauge model railroad. With prototypical paintwork and printing, this set represents Era IV and combines historical authenticity with state-of-the-art model making. The lovingly detailed design and the excellent running characteristics make this model set a real highlight.
In the 1950s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn decided to convert older Länderbahn compartment coaches to make them fit for modern rail traffic. The resulting passenger coach series, known as conversion coaches, quickly became a familiar sight on DB's local services. These coaches, consisting of 1st and 2nd class compartments, offered a comfortable and economical solution for passenger train services. The characteristic three-axle conversion coaches were particularly popular for short and medium distances.
PIKO, a leading manufacturer in the field of model railroads, has realized the three-axle conversion coaches as completely new designs. Unlike the prototype, existing parts were not used here. The result is models that reproduce the original down to the smallest detail. The flush-fitting, crystal-clear windows and the individually attached handle bars are just some of the many highlights of these models.
Era IV (1965-1990) marked an exciting time of upheaval in German rail transportation. The introduction of new color concepts and the further development of proven vehicle types characterized this era. The AB3yg & B3yg conversion coaches are a typical example of the pragmatic yet elegant approach of the Deutsche Bundesbahn during this period. With their classic paint scheme, they fit harmoniously into the image of Era IV.
The model set has been developed for N gauge (scale 1:160). With a length over buffers of 83 mm and a minimum radius of 225 mm (with steps), the set has excellent running characteristics. The equipment with NEM coupling shafts and a close coupler link enables a prototypical distance between the wagons, which ensures a realistic appearance.
The coaches have a detailed interior that reflects the comfort of the historic conversion coaches. Interior lighting can be retrofitted for an even more realistic appearance. It is also possible to install end lighting with the #46300 retrofit set to further individualize the models.
The set impresses with its intricate design. Free-standing lines, a detailed brake linkage and the careful reproduction of the wagon floor demonstrate the high art of model making. The classic paintwork and precise printing underline the authenticity of the conversion wagons.
As with all PIKO models, the AB3yg & B3yg conversion wagons also impress with their high-quality workmanship and durability. The robust materials and precise manufacturing ensure safe operation and a long service life. This set is an excellent choice for both collectors and model railroaders.
The set of 2 AB3yg & B3yg DB IV conversion wagons is the ideal addition to your N-gauge layout if you want to authentically depict the historical rail traffic of Era IV. With their detailed design, retrofit options and high-quality workmanship, these wagons are a highlight for any collection.
