Trix 15778 - Express Train Passenger Car; 1st/2nd class

Prototype: Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) skirted express train passenger car, 1st/2nd class, in the so-called blood orange "Jaffa" paint scheme. The car looks as it did around 1984. 

Model: The car has a close coupler mechanism. Length over the buffers 133 mm / 5-1/4". 

One-time series. 

In 1939, regular production began for streamlined cars. Due to the sheathing that extended low on the cars, they entered railroad history as "Schürzenwagen" / "Skirted Cars". The weight on them was reduced considerably through the use of modern welding technology. The combination of modern construction and features made them equally popular with crews and passengers until the start of the Eighties.
