1st class InterCity compartment car type Avmz of Deutsche Bahn AG.

■ Rich detailing on the true to original model

The demand for ICE replacement trains resulted in a shortage of second-class carriages in the DB long-distance division – while at the same time there was a surplus of first-class coaches. For this reason, some carriages in the inventory were downgraded for use in normal Intercity trains as "back-up carriages." Due to their high level of comfort, these carriages proved more popular with customers. These downgraded carriages are the perfect addition to existing trains and can even be used exclusively in faithfully replicated replacement trains.
