Trix 23167 H0 Bymb 421 Express Train Car, DB, Era IV: The classic among the center entrance cars

The Trix 23167 H0 Bymb 421 express train passenger car is a detailed reproduction of a German Federal Railroad (DB) 2nd class passenger car. As a type Bylb 421, known as a center entry car, this model is a typical representative of the light express trains (LS) of Era IV. With its classic color scheme in ocean blue/ivory and the operating condition around 1980, the car reflects an important era in German railroad history. The standard LED interior lighting and current-carrying couplers make it a high-quality addition to any H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: Type Bylb 421 center entrance car

The type Bylb 421 was specially designed for use in light express trains and express trains. The coaches offered 2nd class passengers comfort and efficiency and were appreciated for their versatility. Characteristic of these coaches are the one-piece windows at the entrances and the small front tail lights. With their ocean blue/ivory paint scheme, the center-entry cars became symbols of Era IV and were used on many German Federal Railroad routes.

Era IV: The railroad of the 1970s and 1980s

Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of change and modernization. The introduction of the new color scheme in ocean blue and ivory gave the trains a modern appearance. The Bylb 421 center-entry coaches were mainly used in regional and express trains during this time and were considered the backbone of local transport. This model perfectly captures the character of this era.

Technical Highlights of the Trix 23167

The Bymb 421 express train car has LED interior lighting and current-conducting couplers as standard. The lighting only works in conjunction with the center entrance control car, and control is via a decoder. Transparent red tail light inserts ensure a realistic appearance. The underbody has a type-specific design and the Minden-Deutz heavy design bogies have a double block brake and a D 62s generator. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, the wagon can also be used on smaller layouts.
