Description

After DB Regio Schleswig-Holstein emerged as the new operator of the Hamburg-Altona – Westerland RegionalExpress trains in the 2015 tender for transport services, the coach sets previously used by Nord-Ostsee-Bahn were taken over by a leasing company and leased to DB Regio. As it was foreseeable that the carriages would be given a new exterior design in the Schleswig-Holstein design, the previous color concept of the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn was only carefully modified. The entrance doors of the coaches were painted turquoise instead of melon yellow, the operator logos were also replaced and the operator of the service, “NAH.SH”, was clearly advertised on the sides of the coaches. Some of the cab control cars were given silver-gray “bibs” on the front, but some of them remained in the melon yellow of the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn; this is also the case with our model.all models correspond exactly to the prototype in terms of paint scheme and lettering. The cars have close coupler linkages with NEM coupler pockets for close coupling. The interior design is multicolored. As with the previous H0 models, these carriages also have built-in interior lighting as well as head and tail lighting that changes with the direction of travel. The lighting boards already contain a digital decoder that also works in analog mode. The operational safety of the lighting is protected by buffer capacitors (“gold caps”) in each carriage. The train destination indicators on the carriages are backlit in matching colors. We had the circuit boards completely redeveloped by KRES in Fraureuth near Zwickau, where they are also manufactured.
