The Piko 47606 Rekowagen is a faithful reproduction of a classic reconstruction car of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era III. This car with 2nd class and luggage compartment perfectly reflects the charm of the historic railroad and is an excellent addition to any H0 model railroad layout that wants to authentically represent DR traffic from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The prototype: The DR reconstruction coaches

The reconstruction wagons were developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR to modernize the aging wagon fleet. They were a cost-effective solution for equipping old car bodies with new underframes and technical improvements. The coaches shaped the appearance of passenger transportation in the DR until the 1980s.
