With its luxurious equipment and the typical color scheme of the city express, this model offers a high degree of authenticity and attention to detail.

The prototype: Comfortable travel on the city express

The Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) City Express was the premium service for fast and comfortable travel within the GDR. The trains ran on important routes such as between Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden and other major cities. The Y/B70 1st class passenger coach offered spacious compartments, comfortable seats and a quiet ride - a class of its own in train travel at that time.

Prototypical replica in the typical city express design

The model impresses with its striking exterior paintwork in the colors of the city express - a strong orange with white stripes, which stood for elegance even back then. The lettering and details such as doors, windows and ventilation grilles are precisely applied and perfectly reflect the original.

Interior fittings and lighting for realistic scenes

Inside the carriage is a finely designed interior that realistically reproduces the compartments and rows of seats in 1st class. The coach is also equipped with retrofittable interior lighting (item no. 08916), which provides atmospheric effects, especially in night and twilight scenarios.

Compatibility and flexibility thanks to coupling technology

The car is equipped with a coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics, which enables a safe and flexible connection with other models according to the NEM standard. This means that the city express can be easily extended with other suitable passenger coaches such as the 2nd class coach (item no. 01805).

Typical applications

This model is ideal for reproducing complete city express trains, consisting of 1st and 2nd class coaches as well as dining cars. Scenarios on main lines connecting major cities in the GDR look particularly realistic. Combine the car with matching class 01 steam locomotives or class 118 diesel locomotives.
