The prototype: German Federal Railroad BDylf 457 cab control car

The BDylf 457 cab control car was designed for use in push-pull trains, which played a particularly important role in regional and express train service in Era IV. These coaches were equipped with a luggage compartment without a side aisle and were often referred to as mid-boarding coaches due to their distinctive design and the one-piece windows at the entrances. The ocean blue/ivory paint scheme and the small headlights on the ends made these cars a characteristic part of the German Federal Railroad fleet.

Era IV: Railroad in the 1970s and 1980s

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by the introduction of modern vehicle concepts and the new colour scheme in ocean blue/ivory. Control cars such as the BDylf 457 played a central role in the rationalization of train operations and enabled the efficient use of push-pull trains. The model of the Bymf 436 cab control car authentically brings the charm of this period to your layout.

Technical Highlights of the Trix 23177

The cab control car is equipped with a digital decoder that makes numerous functions possible. The triple headlights that change over with the direction of travel and two red marker lights can be controlled digitally. The standard LED interior lighting and the cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. The current-carrying couplers provide a reliable connection to the other cars in the train set. A type-specific underbody and Minden-Deutz heavy bogies with rail clearers, Sifa switch box, Indusi and D 62 generator ensure a high level of detail. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, the control car can also be used on smaller layouts.

Design and attention to detail

The model impresses with its exact replica of the prototype. The colour scheme in ocean blue/ivory is precisely implemented, and the red tail light inserts at the end of the car without the driver's cab underline the authenticity. A WC downpipe and a reversible train control line are included as separately attachable parts for presentation in a display case. The length over buffers is 28.2 cm, making the car a perfect match for other mid-entry cars in the series.

Areas of Application

The Trix 23177 cab control car is ideally suited for use in push-pull train sets on H0 model railroad layouts. It goes perfectly with other center entrance cars such as the Trix models 23127 and 23167. A diesel locomotive to go with it, such as the Trix 25101, completes the set and provides a harmonious train appearance for Era IV.

Care and maintenance

To ensure the longevity of the model, we recommend regular cleaning of the current-carrying couplings and the LED interior lighting. The plug-in parts should be handled with care to avoid damage. Spare parts are available from Trix or from specialist dealers.
