HSB bogie brake/luggage/guards van

[alec dawe]

You all know the thing I mean, I think they call it something like a Guterpersonnelwagen(sp). The red bogie brake that the guards and TTIs travel in, that's always at the summit end of the formations on the HSB.
Now I realise that No One on the forum is going to want to give one up, but I'd be very grateful if you could let me know if you spot one anywhere, shop, other forum, eBay etc for a less than astronomical price.

If you mean the long bogie brake, then LGB only did it in the DR logo in a bright red (they also did a green livery one as well, but not a maroon HSB one. The shorty one they did in DR red and HSB maroon as per photo. I resprayed mine into maroon and relettered into HSB livery as I couldn`t get one either. Train line have now released one though, around about 200 quid.

Yes, Ian, the long bogie one with the folding doors. I'm happy to re spray into the maroon/crimson, but the trainline one is out of my budget at present SWMBO would have a dicky fit.
I never saw the short, non-bogie versions at all last October, so I assume they are not used in standard stock formations, in normal service.

Not on the Brocken services, but two were in use on the Selketalbahn line from Quedlinburg to Icefields Talmuhle when we visited.

Thanks for all the links and information, everyone. My guards/baggage van arrived in the post this morning. I wouldn't have found it without the help from this forum.
