Fakks – The Specialist for Track Ballast & Bulk Cargo

The Fakks series of dump cars were specifically designed for transporting ballast, gravel, and other construction materials. With their ability to unload from both sides, they were ideally suited for track construction, maintenance work, or track reconstruction projects. The 6781 model was widely used by the DR and was an indispensable vehicle in construction trains and on branch lines.

Model with realistic loading and an authentic look

The model bears the road number 31 50 678 1020 - 2 and is equipped with a prototypical ballast load. The applied signs of wear and tear emphasize the car’s operational character and make it particularly authentic in appearance. Thanks to crisp printing, fine engravings, and sturdy construction, this car is a real eye-catcher—whether running solo or in a train formation.

With a length over buffers of 111 mm and a minimum curve radius of 310 mm, the Fakks can be used without any problems on all standard TT layouts. The standard coupler housing with a current TT coupler ensures reliable operation and flexible coupling with other cars.

Ideal for DR construction and maintenance trains

Combine the Fakks with other construction cars, flat cars, ballast cars, or service cars to create an authentic DR construction train. Locomotives such as the BR 106, BR 110, or BR 118 also pair perfectly with this model and harmoniously round out the train’s appearance.

A must-have for modelers focused on operations and infrastructure

The Busch 31425 TT Fakks Double-Ended Dump Car is a highly detailed and realistic model for anyone who values lifelike loading scenes and operational variety.
