Time frame? The roof looks like a poor fit.

Not exactly. Note in the type designation of DR passenger cars the year of acceptance is coded. I.e. 1927.
BTW, the boxart isn’t correct, the DR logo must be in the center of the side wall, approx. at the same height (Verfügung DR E RVM 30 Fen 69 vom 12. Januar 1938). The same for the route shield, according to the same document it must be at the right side.

Deutsche Gründlichkeit, Hmmm… BTW Railway modelling is not exactly my cup of tea, got the information from Wikipedia.

This is what I’m talking about! This is one of the more exciting announcements I’ve seen in years. And back in 2022, I talked Tru-Color paints into mixing me up a batch of:

RAL 6007 bottle green
RAL 6020 chrome green

I have not looked if they have those two colors in their catalog but I’ll send them this announcement.

Some fantastic diorama options can be imagined with this.

Is the rail gauge on this model compatible with the Trumpeter BR52 kit? I would like to mate two of the Cid-27 cars to my BR52 per this photo:

The Trumpeter gauge is approx 43,5mm and I’d rather not have to modify the trucks on either kit.

The kit includes the tracks made by Sabre, maybe that could be a guidance?

43.5 mm scales to 1522.5 mm, European standard gage is 1435 mm, the Trumpeter track width would therefor be off by 2.5 mm (I presume you measure the width between the rails, inside edge to inside edge)

Found this:

Thanks for the clarification. I figured they would not fit due to problems with other kits but I have not done Das Werk tracks. Good to know they are Sabre. Guess I’ll have to pass on the combination unless I replace the Das Werk trucks completely with some Trumpeter ones but that might be difficult as well not being accurate.
