Details

The Class BR 175, originally designated VT 18.16, was a diesel-hydraulic multiple unit developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany during the 1960s. The 4-car formation was used on international and domestic express routes, including services between Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. With a top speed of 160 km/h and a sleek, aerodynamic design, the BR 175 offered premium comfort and performance. It became a symbol of modern rail travel in the GDR. Perfect for model railway enthusiasts, this unit adds authenticity and Cold War-era realism to layouts depicting classic diesel express operations in Eastern Europe.
