Details

The Class VT 18.16, later designated BR 175, was a prestigious diesel-hydraulic multiple unit developed in the early 1960s by the Deutsche Reichsbahn for high-speed international and domestic express services. This 4-car formation was used on key routes such as Berlin–Dresden–Prague and international links to Vienna and Budapest. Renowned for its smooth ride, powerful performance, and distinctive streamlined design, the VT 18.16 symbolised East German engineering excellence. Perfect for model railway enthusiasts recreating classic DR operations, this unit brings authenticity and Cold War-era railway history to life on any layout focused on European diesel traction.
