Piko 58863 H0 Umbauwagen 2. Klasse B4yg, DB, Ep. IV

Piko 58863 H0 Conversion car 2nd class B4yg, DB, Ep. IV

With the Piko 58863 type B4yg conversion car, you can bring a piece of German railroad history to your H0 layout. The German Federal Railroad developed these four-axle cars in the mid-1950s to meet the increasing demand for passenger service - using proven components from older cars. The result: durable, modern passenger coaches with a new steel superstructure that remained in service until the 1990s.

Successful conversion program - robust and proven

The B4yg coaches were the result of the so-called conversion coach program, in which the underframes and bogies of older vehicles - mostly from the Länderbahn era - were combined with new, welded steel superstructures. The four-axle coaches were fitted with double doors in the middle (without a central pillar) and improved weather protection thanks to door seals. With a top speed of 120 km/h, they were a quantum leap compared to the previous three-axle coaches.

Perfectly implemented in H0 - model highlights from PIKO

The model is set in Era IV and shows the Deutsche Bundesbahn wagons with Minden-Deutz bogies. Detailed reproductions such as attached brake cylinders, battery boxes, toilet pipes as well as filigree handles and steps underline the high-quality model construction. Interior lighting and a tail light can be retrofitted for additional realism.

Ideal for local transport scenarios of the 1970s and 1980s

Whether in a regional train or express train formation - this car fits perfectly into classic train sets of Era IV. Thanks to the close coupling kinematics and NEM shaft, problem-free integration into existing train compositions is guaranteed.
