These robust, steel-bodied passenger carriages, commonly associated with the Donnerbüchse family, were designed for practical passenger transport on local and regional railway services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the Second World War, a number of these coaches remained in service outside Germany, including with the Polish State Railways (PKP). Some former mixed-class coaches were reclassified to provide second-class accommodation, continuing to serve passengers on local and regional routes. Their open end platforms were a distinctive feature of this traditional design. This ROCO model represents a PKP second-class coach during Era IV, making it a suitable addition to historical Polish passenger train formations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57695506727285,"sku":"RC6280081","price":44.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/4590\/3920\/files\/rc6280081.jpg?v=1793046274","url":"https:\/\/accessmodels.co.uk\/products\/roco-pkp-bi-bci-28-2nd-class-coach-iv-rc6280081","provider":"Access Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
