Key Features

• Metal wheelsets for smooth, durable running

Prototype And Era

This KB second-class coach represents the DR’s reconstruction programme for narrow gauge rolling stock and was used on many German State Railroad lines, including the Zittau network. The model reflects the authentic appearance of the era, with later-style rubber-framed windows, correct markings and a faithful livery that evokes the last blossoming of narrow gauge railroading in former East Germany. Many of these cars can still be seen on museum railways carrying period lettering, and this model can also be enjoyed on layouts representing the current Era VI.
