The Prototype – New Zas-Type Tank Cars

The Zas tank cars trace their origins to a German-French compensation program of the 1970s, under which the DR received approximately 1,250 modern four-axle mineral oil cars. With a tank capacity of 85,150 liters and a permitted wheel set load of 20 metric tons, they were ideally suited for transporting diesel, gasoline, and other mineral oils. Today, many of these cars are part of the fleets of leasing companies such as GATX and comply with modern safety standards.

GATX & EVA – International Logistics Partners on the Rails

The current “EVA” lettering indicates its use in hazardous materials logistics. GATX is one of Europe’s largest freight car leasing companies. The authentic design makes this model a highlight of modern freight trains.

Versatile uses for the model

The car fits perfectly into current tank car trains but can also be operated in mixed traffic with other Zas, Zacens, or Zags cars. Locomotives such as the BR 185, BR 187, Vectron, or Traxx round out the realistic day-to-day operations.
