Brawa 46176 - Passenger Car 4ye-36/51 DB III

The war scattered express train Cars across half of Europe, with larger stocks outside German railway operators, for instance at BBO, SNCF and PKP. These Cars remained invaluable in regional transport for DB and DR up to the late seventies, reaching an age of over forty years. They were also used internationally up to the sixties, travelling as far as Scandinavia and the Balkans. There were many conversions, for instance into sleeping, dining, buffet and semi-luggage carriages. On the occasion of the anniversary in 1985, DB put together an entire train from several different types of express train Cars. Unfortunately, these Cars are today spread over several locations, and only a few of them are operable.
