Middle part of DE3 mat'34 unit nr 0145. The "leading zero" (for explanation of this, see my picture WN06-04 etc.) has been painted above the original number plate on the left. The middle carriage contains a motor/generator compartiment, a luggage compartiment and a 2nd class compartiment. Note that the bogies are common to both carriages and have 3 axles, from which only the 2 exterior ones are propulsed by an electro motor. These motor carriages were often interchanged whereby they retained their original number. In this case, we have mBD 170 between ABk and Bk 0145. Goes, 05-02-1964.
