A set of 4 wagons
type 130A and
type 131A
in the painting of the Hungarian carrier
MÁV.
A total of 293 coaches (80 1st class and 213 2nd class) were
delivered to
MÁV by
Cegielski in Poznań between 1979 and 1980 and
were used in the Tokaj Expressz and many other important express
trains connecting Budapest to the main cities of Hungary.
These numbers made the
Polish type Y cars the single largest
passenger coaches family released to
MÁV and for three decades an easy spot
in the Hungarian railways.
The coaches have the decorations of ep. IV in the early '80s with
their distinctive light grey roof and white inscriptions, suitable
to a proper setting till the middle of the '90s.
Compared to the Polish versions of the
Y-type coaches, the models differ
slightly in the arrangement of the selective switching boxes on the
chassis and the shape of the battery box.
The set includes additional elements made of etched metal plate.
These are direction boards and switches for self-assembly under the
edge of the car body.
The models are made with attention to detail both inside and out.
In first class there are 6 seats per compartment with painted
headrests and tables by the windows. In the second-class model,
there are 8 seats per compartment, with different interior colors.
In each compartment, there are shelves for luggage and a precisely
marked wall with entrance doors to individual compartments. In
addition, the set includes a bag with long hoses that can be
mounted on the headstock of each wagon.
The models have very good driving properties and each of the models
is adapted to the installation of lighting, i.e. it has current
collectors in the trolleys and soldered wires and leads to the
inside of the model.
