Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) passenger car, 1st/2nd class, for so-called lightweight express trains (LS). Type ABymb 411. Colloquially also known as “center entry cars”. Version with small marker lights at the ends near the top of the car and one-piece windows at the entries on the ends of the car. Chrome oxide green paint scheme. The car looks as it did around 1969.
