The German UIC 26.4 metre coaches have been a feature of their railways since the 1960s, coming in many guises and having worn many different liveries.
This coach is of the Type ABm223, a 1st/2nd class composite compartment coach, and it wears the well known blue with ivory window band livery as worn during Era IVb with DB logo and black underframes.
The model features a wealth of detail on the bodywork, chassis and internally, as well as NEM coupler pockets.
