Fleischmann Express train car 1st class, DB

German Federal Railroad 1st class express train car, type A4ys-30/55. The delivery period for the four-axle unit through cars for express train service extended over the years from 1930 to 1938/39. In the course of construction, the heavy riveted construction was abandoned and a lighter welded construction was used. This made the cars about two tons lighter. A large number of these express train cars were still in service with the German Federal Railroad.
