Model: O gauge DC. German State Railroad Prussian 2nd class type C3 Pr 11 compartment car without brakeman's cab.

Prototype: While passenger coaches were exclusively two-axle vehicles, three-axle vehicles were also built from about 1880 onwards, which were distinguished by their smoother running, among other things. After the nationalisation of the railways in Prussia, the so-called "Normalien" were created, rules for the construction of rail vehicles, which also affected passenger coaches. The three-axle compartment coaches were built according to these standards and were mainly intended for use in passenger trains. Wood was still the predominant material for the first models, but at the beginning of the 20th century steel construction was introduced. At the same time, the petroleum lighting was gradually replaced by gas lamps.
Lenz has been active in the field of model railways for over 30 years. Many of the technologies for model railway control that are taken for granted today are developments from the house of Lenz. The so-called DCC format for the digital control of model railways of all sizes is used worldwide and is thus the most widely used control system of all, declared a standard by the NMRA in 1993.

But even before the development of this digital control system, Lenz had already set milestones for the model railway enthusiast, for example with the "REPA Lok-Aus" and the legendary "Teichmann controller". Lenz is constantly working on making the occupation with model railways more interesting, more varied, but also easier: USP ensures uninterrupted data transmission into the decoder even when power is interrupted from the track, ABC ensures pinpoint stops in front of signals, RailCom delivers information from the locomotive back to the digital system.

Lenz's entry into 0 gauge has not only been well received by "veteran" zero gauge enthusiasts, but has also inspired numerous model railway enthusiasts to enter/with this great gauge. Lenz is continuously expanding its programme here as well, but still attaches great importance to the greatest possible faithfulness to the prototype, exceptional technology and high quality standards.
