Roco 44752
2nd class coach of the West Germany Railways (Deutsche Bundesbahn) B4üm Bauart 1962 (type 234) in green livery.
UIC number | Revision date |
51 80 22-70 354-1 | 27-8-85 |
171 g (NEM: 121 to 158 g)
Era IVb. Quality a bit below the DB ref 644xx Roco coaches, but it dates from 1990! Distinctly too low.
The roof can be disassembled as follows: looking corridor side, pull the roof to the right forcing a little, because there is a slight snap on the left end. No need to completely remove the gangway rubber joints.
The corridor wall, poorly maintained, leans and squirms. UIC rubber joints are not hollow. The axles rotate in metal bearings to power a lighting.
See:
The Bm234 are ex B4üm 234 of 1961 (Bauart 1962), made in 1848 units. The subseries numbered 22-70 001 to 610 concerns coaches limited to 160 km/h.
