Description

Tillig 16422 TT Second-Class Passenger Car B 518, Type Y/B 70, DB AG, Era V – The Classic of InterRegio Passenger Service

Are you in the process of completing your InterRegio or long-distance train set in TT scale? Then the Tillig 16422 TT Second-Class Passenger Car B 518, Type Y/B 70, from Deutsche Bahn AG is the perfect choice. This car embodies the typical comfort and versatility of 1990s long-distance passenger service in Era V and impresses with its prototypical accuracy and outstanding technical features.

B 518 – The Backbone of Long-Distance Rail Service in the ’90s

The Y/B 70 cars were originally built for international service but were also widely used by DB AG—particularly in the popular InterRegio system. The B 518 second-class car was a fixture on numerous train services and was part of the standard fleet of many long-distance and regional trains in Era V. Tillig has meticulously reproduced this prototype in 1:120 scale—with finely detailed design and accurate paint schemes.

Sophisticated Technology for TT-Scale Model Railroading

With a length over buffers of 204 mm, the car is ideally sized for realistic train formations. The NEM-compliant coupler mount and close-coupling kinematics ensure a tight, reliable connection with other cars—even on longer trains. The car features an attractive interior and is prepared for the installation of interior lighting. It can also be retrofitted with a train-end light—ideal for flexible use at the end of a train.

Versatile and easily combinable

The B 518 is the perfect complement to other Y/B 70 cars, such as the A 506.1 first-class car or the AB 512.1. Whether in classic InterRegio formations, mixed long-distance trains, or international services—thanks to its universal prototype, this car adapts to numerous applications. The train formation becomes particularly realistic when paired with matching locomotives such as the BR 120, BR 103, or the iconic BR 218.
