The ADE modelleisenbahn kit coaches have become quite rare. I have been Dabbling in N as well as HO. the early Lima coaches, including their Type P inspired sleepers were super short. The cheaper start set coaches were also very short, no window glass either.

You can still find quite a few of the ADE kits, especially the green and silverfish era3 and ear4 coaches. The blue-creme and the POP ones are fairly common as well and for around US$50 to 60 you can get kits that are in mint boxes. The rare ones are the 1983 Rheingold, the Swiss coaches, the era5 DB IC coaches and the minty's....I don't really get into N-scale...I have enough with my H0 and the little bit of G-scale I have. Lime started as a real cheap kids play train, but over time they got into making really nice models which were very comparable to Roco and such. The problem they had was the stigma from the days they made the cheap models as people didn't trust their models until it was to late...and today people buy the models used for more than what they sold in the stores 20 years ago...🤣🤣

I wouldn't say RIP...Kleinbahn made nice models! I have a bunch of their freight cars and had some local coaches as well, which I sold as I want to stick to the DRG, DB and DB-AG and era6 German railroads. But even way back when, their Austrian passenger coaches were pretty much like Roco or Fleischmann. It's too bad they went out of business...
