Design & workmanship

The cars are impressive with their contemporary green paint scheme and intricate lettering according to the German State Railroad.

Many attached parts such as ladders, signal brackets and tread plates ensure a high level of detail. The wagon floor and the brake system are designed precisely and true to the original.

Technical features & special functions

This set is not only visually appealing, but also technically well thought-out: The wagons have close-coupling kinematics for realistic operation and allow interior lighting to be retrofitted. The ends are particularly elaborately designed with attached parts.

Historical background

The prototype for these cars was built in the mid-1930s for the Müglitz Valley Railroad (Heidenau-Altenberg), which was converted to standard gauge. Lightweight coaches with central access were developed to speed up passenger changes. The BC4i-35 and C4i-35 types were supplied by Linke-Hofmann and were soon put into service in large numbers. The coaches were widely used in the Dresden area and were a typical sight on DRG lines in Era II.

Compatibility & expansion options

The set can be ideally combined with steam locomotives of Era II, such as the class 38 (item no. 7180002, 7190002). It is suitable for all standard TT track systems and can easily be supplemented with further wagons or train sets.
