DB Battery EMU (ETA) Germany DE German speciality. ETA from before WWII The prussian railways developped the concept of battery EMU. They survived to the beginning of the sixties, with a small additional series built by the DRG and 2 axles trailers. For all these trainsets (except the ETA 180), a number in the 000 series stands for 1st/2nd class, while the 200 series stands for 2nd class only. ETA 177, 178 et 180 Prussian generation, trainsets made of two 3-axles bodies, 2 of the axles being grouped in the ends, under the battery sets.
