DSB class Bk coach N scale

This is an unpainted kit for making a DSB Class Bk. The Class B coach family was developed in the early 60's to modernize the Danish passenger carriage fleet as well as provide cars to be coupled on some of the modern international trains of the time. It became a very successful design and spawned a number of variations, first the Class B, which was the original and most popular (all second class car), some Class B cars were later modified by adding a little kiosk from wich the travelers could buy food, snacks and drinks, these cars were re named Bk, You can see on the picture that two of the compartments has been replaced by a kiosk, there are also other variations of the class B car: Class A (a first class version) Class AB (a combined first and second class version) and the Class BD was a variation with a cargo compartment for luggage. These cars could be seen on Danish rails to the mid 90's when most were replaced by multiple units. Some still drive in Sweden and many were sold to Iran after they were withdrawn. ______________________________________________________________________________________
