The prototype: DR Halberstadt mid-entry coaches

The Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were introduced on the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1970s and 1980s to meet the growing demands of local and long-distance transportation. With their spacious interiors and sturdy construction, they were a modern addition to the fleet. The dark green and chrome oxide green paintwork in accordance with TGL standards (TGL 2233 and TGL 2235) was typical of Era IV. These cars were used in passenger service on many main and branch lines in the GDR.

Era IV: Railway of the 1980s

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by technical innovations and the further development of rail transport. The Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were an important part of the DR's wagon fleet during this time and authentically reflect the railroad history of the GDR. This model set brings the charm and functionality of this period to your layout.

Technical highlights of the Trix 23180

The three passenger cars in the set have a variety of technical features. All of the cars have standard LED interior lighting for a realistic appearance. A buffer capacitor in each car bridges short-term power interruptions and ensures smooth operation. One car is also equipped with end-of-train lighting to complete the train set. The current-carrying close couplers enable reliable power transmission between the cars. The specified vehicle sequence must be adhered to for the operation of the interior lighting and the rear lighting.

Design and attention to detail

The set impresses with its precise reproduction of all details. The bogies, roof shapes, side walls and underbodies are designed specifically for the type and have many applied details. The color scheme in dark green and chrome oxide green is authentically implemented and reflects the operating condition of the 1980s. Brake hoses, heating cables and screw couplings are included as separately attachable parts to make the models even more realistic. The wagons are individually packed and additionally protected in outer packaging.

Areas of application

With a minimum passable radius of 360 mm, they can be used flexibly and harmonize perfectly with other Era IV vehicles. Complete the set with matching locomotives and further wagons to create a complete train set.

To ensure the longevity of the set, we recommend regular cleaning of the current-carrying couplings and the LED lighting. The plug-in parts should be handled with care and securely fastened. Spare parts and accessories are available from Trix or from specialist dealers.
