DSB CU Passenger Coach Set, Era III

This beautifully detailed H0 set features four Danish passenger coaches from DSB – type CU – in their classic Era III appearance (approx. 1945–1960). The set includes coaches CU 4101, 4105, 4110, and 4112, which were commonly used in mixed and express trains throughout Denmark during the mid-20th century.

🚃 The Prototype

The CU coaches were lightweight passenger cars with steel construction and formed an essential part of DSB’s postwar modernization efforts. They served in both regional and long-distance trains across the country and were often seen behind steam locomotives like class P or E, and later behind diesel locomotives such as MO and MY.
