Set of 3 passenger coaches DB, Ep.IVa, D1213, AC

We discovered the prototype for our D 1213 in the Eisenbahnjournal special issue 5/93 on the V200. The photo shows the complete procession on May 19, 1974 at Seifen in the Allgäu. The locomotive is 221 143. We have realized this train with our wagons in an authentic composition. In the 1974 summer timetable, the D1213 connected the Ruhr area with the holiday resort of Oberstdorf, the southernmost municipality in Germany. From Dortmund via Essen, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bonn it went to Mainz, Mannheim to Stuttgart and from there via Ulm and Kempten finally to Oberstdorf. The prototype train belongs to the ranks of the holiday trains between the Ruhr area and the Allgäu at that time. The connection was established in 1970 as D1212 in a south-north direction and D 1213 in a northerly direction. For the 1974 summer timetable, it received the new train numbers D 1512/1513. The train ran with these numbers until the 1978/79 winter timetable. As part of the restructuring of train connections through the introduction of the IC 79 system, it was then omitted. In the winter timetables, the train only ran on weekends. As the main holiday train between the Ruhr area and the Allgäu, it also carried through coaches, including to destinations such as Lindau, Reutte, Innsbruck and Bad Wörishofen, which left the train at the en route stations of Ulm, Memmingen and Kempten. We accompany our train after the through coaches are hanging on its last section between Kempten and its destination Oberstdorf. The train consists of the green and blue üm cars from the fifties, which were common at the time, and two green Büm 234 cars from the sixties. The tourist dining car of the type WRtüm 134 is striking. According to the train formation plan, a BRbuüm type buffet car was to be classified, but on the day the photo was taken, it was replaced by a WRtüm 134. The use of WRtüm 134 away from travel agency tourist trains is not an isolated case. The Dortmund home station used its tourist dining cars more often on other trains. For example, WRtüm134 is used in trade fair trains at the Hanover Fair as well as in the TEE Parzival (Dortmund–Paris). In the 1974 train formation plan, the coaches are classified as follows: Büm 232 Wagen 11 Dortmund-Oberstdorf Büm 232 Wagen 12 Dortmund-Oberstdorf BDüm 272 Wagen 14 Dortmund-Oberstdorf WRtüm 134 without No. Dortmund-Oberstdorf Aüm 202 Car 16 Dortmund-Oberstdorf ABüm 223 Wagen 17 Dortmund-Oberstdorf Büm 234 Car 18 Dortmund-Oberstdorf Büm 234 Wagen 19 Dortmund-Oberstdorf Our car models are made at L.S. Models. As usual with Hobbytrain/LSM, the cars are also reproduced inside and outside down to the smallest details. The side walls of the compartments in the model are made of transparent plastic strips, authentically printed with visible profiles on both sides, fillings, reservation boards, ventilation, etc.
