Trix 23181 H0 2nd Class Passenger Car, DR, Era IV: Halberstadt Center Boarding Car for Your Model Railroad Layout

The Trix 23181 H0 2nd class passenger car is a precise reproduction of a German State Railroad (DR) Era IV Halberstadt center entrance car. With its dark green paint scheme (TGL 2233) and the detailed realization, this car authentically brings the charm of the 1980s to your model railway layout. The standard LED interior lighting with buffer capacitor and current-conducting close couplers make this car a high-quality addition to any train set.

The prototype: DR Halberstadt center entrance car

The Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were an important part of the German State Railroad's fleet of coaches in the 1970s and 1980s. They offered space for 2nd class passengers and were used for both local and long-distance services. Their robust construction and striking dark green color scheme made them a typical representative of Era IV. The operating condition at the end of the 1980s shows these cars at a time when they were used intensively.

Manufacturer Trix: Quality and precision

With numerous separately applied details, current-conducting close couplers and a multi-colored interior, this model sets standards in functionality and authenticity.

Era IV: Railroad of the 1980s

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by technical advances and characteristic designs such as the dark green color scheme of the DR coaches. Halberstadt mid-entry coaches were frequently found on main and branch lines in the GDR during this period. The model perfectly captures the character of this era and makes it possible to recreate this important phase of railroad history on your layout.

Technical highlights of the Trix 23181

The car has LED interior lighting as standard, which can continue to be operated with an integrated buffer capacitor even during short sections without power. The current-conducting close couplers that can be separated allow reliable current transfer between the cars. The interior lighting only works in combination with the marker light car from the 23180 set, whereby the vehicle sequence must be observed. The underbody, the roof shape and the bogies are designed specifically for the type and have many applied details. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, the car can be used flexibly.

Design and attention to detail

The passenger coach impresses with its authentic dark green color scheme and the precise reproduction of all details. Attached brake hoses, heating lines and screw couplings underline the high degree of realism. With a length over buffers of 28.2 cm, the car fits seamlessly into Era IV train sets.
