Coupe-type passenger wagons of all-metal construction were produced in Amendorf, Germany, especially for the railways of the USSR from 1960 to 1980, within the framework of the cooperation of socialist countries in accordance with the agreement on mutual economic assistance. These wagons are considered the most mass-produced in the world in the history of wagon production. All the time that "Ammendorf" wagons were produced, they were improved and changed. For example, the wagons of the initial stage of production had white painted interiors, the interior of the wagons of the later edition is covered with brown plastic with a wood texture. In total over 30,000 examples of this wagon type were produced. Since the end of 1990 and until now, mass write-off of these wagons has been taking place on the railways of Russia and other former USSR states.
Well designed and detailed, quite a complex, but beautiful model, that can only be made by an intermediate and experienced modeler. The interior of the passenger cabins, all equipment, chassis, exterior details have been perfectly restored. From the publication You can make a "Ukraine Railways" (current) passenger wagon with blue painting.
