LGB DR Type KD Passenger Coach Ep. IV

The LGB DR Type KD Passenger Coach Ep. IV (36371) is a finely detailed model of a 2nd class “older design” car as seen across Deutsche Reichsbahn narrow-gauge lines, including the Zittau network. With metal wheelsets, opening doors and a complete interior, it brings the character of East German narrow-gauge railroading to life with authentic presence.

Period-correct details include truss rods on the car frame and window frames finished to match the bottle green body colour. A prototypical paint scheme and lettering capture the Eighties appearance of these cars during the last blossoming of narrow-gauge operation in the former East Germany. Many vehicles of this type still run on museum railways with the lettering of that time, and this model is equally at home on layouts set in Era IV or placed within contemporary Era VI scenes.
