ROBO 222080 PKP 111Ac Passenger Car Era IV, Warsaw Szczęśliwice Station

A 2nd-class passenger car of the 111Ac type, featuring a newer design, as evidenced by the car’s straight lower edge and solid, non-opening door windows.

A total of 212 type 111Ab cars were manufactured between 1971 and 1972 by the PaFaWag factory. They were intended for international service. They featured a flat roof, two entrance steps, and multi-voltage steam-electric heating.

The car was overhauled in the mid-1970s, which allows it to be coupled with cars from Era IV, i.e., 222060(1), 222070(1), 211020(1), 233010(1), and 244060(1); furthermore, it can be coupled with the EX. Odra train set. These Warsaw-built cars could be found in nearly every corner of Poland. The model can also be connected to an international train set from that era.
