GER: Personenwagen Bvmmsz 187 2. Klasse DB AG VI

Novelty 2023: After 40 years of IC connections in Germany, the rolling stock was a mixed bag. With the ""IC mod."" project, DB AG wanted to put an end to this state of affairs and had some sample conversions carried out from 2009. Starting in 2012, the series conversion began in the Kassel, Neumünster and Nuremberg repair workshops, whereby the coaches received new interior furnishings according to ICE standard, new doors, air conditioning and wiring.In contrast to the prototype, PIKO relies on a completely new design for the modernised IC coaches. The vehicles have been precisely realised in 1:87 scale and impress with the finest engravings and flush-fitted windows. The interior design is highly detailed and is in no way inferior to the prototype. The bogies are also convincing with many details, such as individually attached spring sets, magnetic brakes or brake disc reproductions on the axles. A look underneath the car is also worthwhile. Machinery, battery compartments and all supply lines have been reproduced with great attention to detail. The second class carriage is of course prepared for the uncomplicated retrofitting of interior lighting.
