The prototype: Halberstadt express train cars

The "Halberstadt" express train coaches got their name from their production site, the Halberstadt repair works (Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk). In the 1980s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn developed coaches that met the UIC-Z specifications and did not require air conditioning. These side-aisle compartment coaches were designed for express train service and had the typical green and beige livery that became mandatory for DR express train coaches from the mid-1980s. In addition to their use in the GDR, they were also frequently used in transit and international trains.

Prototypical details and equipment

The model of the BDmse impresses with numerous authentic details that make it a highlight on any layout:

• Prototypical interior design with luggage and disabled compartments.
• Delicately designed free-standing grab irons and detailed GP-200 type bogies.
• Buffer beam can be added for an even more realistic representation.

Era IV: Railroad operation of the 1980s

The BDmse belongs to Era IV (1965-1990), a time in which the Deutsche Reichsbahn modernized and standardized its express train cars. The green-beige paintwork and the equipment of the car authentically reflect this era and make it ideal for models depicting the railroad traffic of the GDR.

Color scheme and design

The model is finished in the original green-beige color scheme of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The filigree printing, the prototypical interior and the detailed bogies ensure a high degree of authenticity and make the car an eye-catcher on your model railway layout.
