Upgrading the Piko VT 70, it is an old but accurate model but it needs a modern discrete mechanism, I am using PMT 32401. The hardest job is replacing the windows. This example was in excellent, unbroken condition.
VT 70 942 in Erlangen
The VT 70 was not capable of being used as a multiple unit, it had to run around its trailer at the terminus, as a result the VT 70 was often used as a single unit. These standard railcars were developed in the 1930s by the Deutsche Reichsbahn for passenger transport on branch lines.

The windows almost fell out after a cold soak in the freezer for 48hrs
