    I've been interested for a long time in the classic old vintage dosto wagons. So It's time to put the idea on paper now. It's very very cool stuff. Manufactured at the "VEB Waggonbau Goerlitz" factory in Germany, these versatile doubledecker cars were used on regional passenger transport by Deutsche Reichsbahn and then by Deutsche Bahn, being repainted into various paint schemes through the years, this particular car uses the factory paint scheme. They are 26,8m in length, sit on Gorlitz VI bogeys with disk brakes, have a top speed of 120km/h and are present in other countries also, such as Romania, Czech Republic and Poland.

    In TSW2 they are expected to show typical wear and tear, dirty roofs and various imperfections. Overall they are fantastic. Very well known across Eastern Europe two.

    You already have the perfect locomotives to work with them, the BR 155 and 143 Electric and the BR 363. So it's just a matter of getting the wagons done, see if they can be fitted on lets say Ruhr-Nord or look at a suitable German route.

    Excellent idea and these will pair well with DB BR155 143 & 204 these were known as DR BR250 243 & DR V100. Check my suggestion of Legends of the GDR on how to set them up

    Thanks for the support! These are true classics. I used to ride in them in Eastern Europe. They are very old old old old things. Lots of character on them. We opened everything by hand including the main doors and the windows for fresh air. I can never forget the smell inside, the noises, rattles and how they made their way across the country. Gotta have them.
