The prototype: DR double-decker coaches in Era IV

In Era IV (1965-1990), modernization and efficiency were the focus of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Double-decker coaches such as the DBuz 747.3 were essential to increase transport capacity in local transport. They offered space for a large number of passengers and were valued for their reliability and efficiency. The mint green color scheme was an unmistakable feature of the time and gave the cars a modern and fresh character.

Manufacturer PIKO: Quality and attention to detail

The renowned manufacturer PIKO stands for excellent model building quality and innovative technologies. The DBuz 747.3 double-decker passenger coach is a perfect example of this philosophy. With its precise workmanship, fine details and realistic proportions, PIKO brings a model to the market that meets the highest demands.

Technical details and retrofit options

With a length over buffers of 308 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the wagon fits harmoniously into any H0 layout. Thanks to the NEM shaft coupling with close coupler link, it can be easily combined with other cars.

Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of retrofitting interior lighting. With the PIKO item #56102, the car is illuminated from the inside, which creates an authentic atmosphere, especially when running at night.
