Donnerbüchse Passenger cars (Part 2)

[XG BC]

So, i have built a Donnerbüchse passenger car a couple of years back.

This time i decided to build all the variants, starting with the normal traditional open platform end car, in various liveries

the green one is probably the most common one, while the dark red and red variants are for push/pull trains mostly.

these were later converted to be cab cars (the red/white one is built irl

then they also did ones with enclosed ends:

and the entire reason for this posts existance, the baggage car

these housed brakes, a baggage compartment and some space for crews, its kind of like a caboose but with several other purpouses. since bricklink asked for a caboose, but i wanted to make a German model this is the closest we have.

also different liveries of these, the red one was for regional and longer distance service, the green one only for regional, and the tan/red one was also paired up with longer wagons for express use. all these wagons are preserved in some form. i have ridden on the open and enclosed platform versions (both in green), its quite an experience, these rattle a lot, hence the name.

Very comprehensive coverage of a long lived passenger car. Great little build. The roof is an interesting anachronism, the many exposed studs feel 12v era while the curvature feels quite modern. The baggage car is the neatest one of the bunch.

thank you! the contrast of the studded roof and the rest of the model is an interesting contrast, it looks good irl too.

Nice set of carriages. They would go well on a schmalspurbahnen.
