Details
The n-cars of the Deutsche Bundesbahn were known for decades as Silberlinge. With over 5,000 units built, this car family became the dominant design for DB's local transport cars from the 1960s. It was not until the 1990s that they were gradually replaced by multiple units and double-decker carriages.
Typical features of the design from the 1970s to 1990s were the ocean blue solebars, the large class numbers and the pictograms. The prototypes were based in Freiburg im Breisgau. From there, they were used on the Rhine Valley Railway between Basel and Karlsruhe, as well as on the Höllental Railway and diesel-hauled to Breisach and Elzach.
Starting in the mid-1970s, individual Silberlinge locomotives received advertising on their sides. Similar to the S-Bahn vehicles in metropolitan areas, the DB Design Center had previously authorized so-called commercial advertising spaces, which could be used accordingly.
