Piko 40765 N set of 2 conversion coaches, DB, Ep. IV: Historic passenger coaches of the German Federal Railroad

The Piko 40765 N set of 2 conversion coaches is a novelty of the year 2025 and brings the charming passenger coaches of the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era IV to your N-gauge layout in true detail. This set consists of a 2nd class coach and a 2nd class coach with luggage compartment, which realistically reproduce the conversion coaches of the German Federal Railroad as short-coupled pairs. With its high-quality workmanship and numerous details, this model is a highlight for collectors and active model railroaders.

The prototype: German Federal Railroad conversion cars

The so-called conversion coaches were created from the mid-1950s when the Deutsche Bundesbahn modernized older Länderbahn compartment coaches with conversions. Two series of passenger coaches were developed to meet the increased requirements for comfort and capacity. These three-axle coaches are characterized by their robust construction, functional interior and striking appearance.

Piko: Precision and quality in model making

The models in the 40765 set of 2 are completely new constructions and not conversions of existing parts. Piko has attached great importance to attention to detail during development: Individually attached grab irons, flush-fitting, crystal-clear windows and a realistic interior make the conversion cars real gems. The delicately designed car floor with free-standing lines and brake rods emphasizes the high-quality workmanship.

Era IV: Railroad traffic of the 1970s

This set represents Era IV, which extends from the 1970s to the early 1990s. The authentic paintwork and printing of the carriages corresponds exactly to the standards of this period and makes the set ideal for historical scenarios on your layout.

Design and color scheme

The prototypical paintwork and printing of the set perfectly reflect the appearance of the German Federal Railroad's conversion cars. The subtle color scheme and realistic lettering give the cars an authentic and contemporary appearance that will impress on any model railway layout.

Technical features and functionality

The cars have an NEM shaft with close coupler link and thus allow a prototypical distance between the vehicles. Interior lighting (#46299) and end lighting (#46300) can be retrofitted for additional realism. With a minimum radius of only 225 mm and a length over buffers (LüP) of 83 mm per car, the set is also suitable for compact layouts.
