Technical features & special functions
Ideally suited for international night trains
Equipped with a coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics, the car can be easily integrated into classic Era IV long-distance trains. The running characteristics are ideal for smooth operation on sophisticated TT layouts with realistic radii and gradients.
Historical background
In Era IV, sleeping cars were an indispensable part of international long-distance transportation - especially on overnight connections between the GDR, the FRG, Austria and Hungary. The MAV used modern type Y vehicles, which offered a high level of comfort and international use. The sleeping car with 1st/2nd class was intended for longer routes and passengers with higher demands.
Compatibility & expansion options
The car can be ideally combined with MAV, DR, ČSD or ÖBB passenger coaches as well as locomotives such as the BR 132, BR 120 or V 200. It looks particularly realistic in international night trains of the 1970s and 80s in combination with couchette or luggage coaches.
Purchase arguments & target group
A high-quality model for anyone who wants to add realistic night train connections to their layout. Perfect for fans of international traffic in Era IV and model railroaders with a focus on Central Europe. Also a real highlight for collectors of historic MAV vehicles.
