Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2019 - Print version of the middle entry control car 2nd class in the blue version of the DB in epoch IV. From 1951, the still young DB procured new cars for express train traffic, the first production cars of the DB a length of 26 , 4 meters. These cars had in addition to the final entrances a center entry. The wagons were welded in all-steel construction, received rubber bulge at the ends of the car and bogies of the type Minden-Deutz (MD 32), which enabled a maximum speed of 140 km / h. However, by using D62 alternators, the maximum speed was limited to 120 km / h. The cars could either be heated by steam or electrically. The new wagons were initially used in light-speed trains in urban transit traffic. The control cars were often also with Umbauwagen or Silberlingen in local traffic in conurbations in operational use. In the 1970s and 1980s Mitteleinstiegswagen were also used in other suburban trains. During this period, the BDylbf gradually lost their controls. Over time, all wagons of this type wandered off in subordinate services because of the lack of door locking device until they were eventually retired in 1994 at DB AG.
