Roco 6200056 - 4-piece set 1: “Zwickau traditional train”, DR

Model details

Carriage set 1 with four passenger carriages for the traditional express train of the German Reichsbahn.

Consists of a baggage car, type Pw4ü, a 2nd/3rd class car, type BC4ü and two 3rd class cars, type C4ü.

With enclosed train route signs for various train routes

When the German Reichsbahn replaced most of the old passenger carriages with new and reconditioned passenger carriages in the 1970s, the last four-axle express train carriages of the standard design from the years 1928–1932 were combined to form the traditional train of the German Reichsbahn.
The three 2nd class carriages and the associated baggage car were used in regular train service on the Greifswald Rbd until 1977. The combined 1st/2nd class carriage was used as a passenger carriage in the Greifswald Rbd. The 1st class carriage was parked in Dresden-Pieschen at the time. This train set included the only DR express train carriages with a central aisle and bellows transition that were still operational. This gave rise to the carriage set known as the "Zwickau traditional train".
In 1985, the railway's anniversary year, the complete restoration of the traditional train was a significant step in the preservation of museum vehicles. The members of the AG at the time played a not insignificant role in ensuring that the traditional train attracted a lot of attention beyond the country's borders.
