Prototype information:
The VT 628 (or BR 628) is a two-part diesel multiple unit of the DB or DB AG, which consists of a motor car (BR 628) and a control car (BR 928). In recent years, two-part units have also been put together more frequently from motor vehicles, which are then referred to as "power packs" and can therefore be used more universally, especially on demanding routes with many inclines. These multiple units are used throughout Germany in local traffic on branch lines and subordinate main lines. They were built in various series from 1975 (initially together with the one-piece variant of the 627 series) until the 1990s, are considered the successors to the railbuses and, like them, are often referred to as "secondary line rescuers". numerous more modern successor types have long been the backbone of German local transport on non-electrified routes and some of them can still be found there today - even if they are now increasingly on the decline and have to make way for newer vehicles.Our model represents the last, " improved" series, i.e. the total of 309 railcars of the VT 628.4/928.4 built between 1992 and 1996, which, in contrast to its predecessor, the VT 628.2. has a car body that is 50 cm longer, since the rear entrance door is designed as a double door, in contrast to the one-piece version of its predecessor. In addition, the front entrance door was designed without a lower window, which was still present on the predecessor. Other externally visible differences are the now positive instead of negative train destination displays and the large snow plow on the front, which was not yet present on the predecessor.
