Tillig 13878 DR 2nd class Bghu passenger coach, Era IV: A historic model with interior details
The Tillig 13878 2nd class Bghu passenger coach is a prototypical model of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV (1965-1990). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 193 mm, this model is perfectly suited for TT layouts. The car is equipped with a detailed interior and can be fitted with retrofittable interior lighting (item number MBS163267). Thanks to the NEM coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics, the car can be easily integrated into train formations and ensures smooth operation.
The prototype: German State Railroad passenger car Bghu
The Deutsche Reichsbahn Bghu passenger coach was a typical passenger coach of Era IV that was used on numerous lines in the GDR in the 1970s and 1980s. These coaches were mainly used on regional services and offered comfortable seating for 2nd class passengers. The Bghu coach was characterized by its robust construction and its flexibility in use, as it could be used both in longer train sets and in local transport.
In Era IV, the Deutsche Reichsbahn experienced a period of change and modernization. The Bghu passenger coach was an important part of passenger transportation and was used on both short and long-distance routes. This model brings the typical atmosphere of this time directly to your model railroad layout.
Technical details of the Tillig 13878 passenger coach
The Tillig 13878 model is made in TT scale (1:120) and designed for the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers of 193 mm, this passenger coach offers a realistic representation in TT scale. The car is not digitized, but offers a retrofit option for interior lighting (item number MBS163267), which makes the atmosphere of the car even more authentic.
The NEM coupler pocket and close coupling kinematics make it easy to connect to other wagons and ensure a realistic train formation. The close coupler kinematics guarantee a small distance between the cars, even when going around curves, and thus ensure an authentic train set.
