Description

Busch 31422 Two-Side Dump Car, Era IV – DR Freight Car with Realistic Tipping Function in TT Scale

The Busch 31422 Two-Sided Dump Car is an authentic model for the TT scale, characterized by its high degree of prototypical accuracy and precise detailing. The Fakks dump car belongs to Era IV and is in service with the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). Its characteristic dump design and brilliant decals make it a visual and functional highlight on any TT layout.

Period-accurate and meticulously detailed

The dump car was crafted based on its real-life prototype from Era IV and features numerous details. The exact road number 31 50 678 1045 - 9 lends the model additional authenticity and allows it to blend seamlessly into train formations of that era. The brilliant decals and clean workmanship underscore Busch’s high quality standards.

Thanks to its compact length over buffers of 111 mm, the car is suitable for both shunting operations and long freight trains. It can be operated on tight curves without any problems, as the car is designed for a minimum radius of 310 mm —ideal for space-saving layout designs.

Technically Sophisticated for Modern TT Layouts

The car is equipped with a standard coupler housing and the latest TT close-coupling kinematics. This combination ensures prototypical car spacing and secure coupling during everyday operation. Whether as a single car or in a block train formation—the Fakks impresses with its reliability and flexibility in service.

Versatile Applications in Freight Transport

Double-sided dump cars like this one were primarily used for transporting bulk goods such as gravel, coal, or ore. With this model, you can realistically recreate typical freight trains from Era IV—whether on main lines or on spur tracks at an industrial site.
