Auhagen 43683 TT Loader T170 Coal Trade - An authentic model for your model railway layout

The Auhagen 43683 TT loader T170 coal trade is a precisely reproduced kit of the self-propelled loader T170, which was produced in Weimar from the mid-1950s. The T170 was versatile and was used in agriculture, construction, industry and for loading tasks in the railroad sector. With its 10 hp engine, which was later upgraded to 13 hp, the loader could lift loads of up to 0.8 tons. This performance made it an indispensable helper in many areas.

The T170 was particularly popular in coal trading companies. It was often used to transfer solid fuels directly from the wagon to the storage yard and then onto delivery vehicles. With its maximum speed of 3.5 km/h in self-propelled mode, the loader was not fast, but could be towed at up to 20 km/h if required, which also made it suitable for transportation between different locations.

Historical significance and technical details

The T170 loader was widely used in the former GDR and is still a popular model among model train enthusiasts today. With a 6.3 meter long boom, which consisted of two tubes and was raised and lowered via a cable pull system, the T170 was ideal for various loading jobs. This design made it a flexible and efficient working tool in many industries.

The Auhagen kit offers a very accurate reproduction of this historic vehicle and is ideal for TT scale model railroad layouts. The 360° rotatable superstructure and the tiltable boom ensure a high degree of realism. The kit also offers the option of equipping the boom with a hook or a clamshell grab, giving the model builder additional design options. The intricate detailing makes this kit a real highlight on any model railway layout.
