Description

Fleischmann 6660201 N 3-Piece Set "Rolling Highway" Ep. VI ÖBB

Are you looking for a special freight car set for your N-gauge model railroad layout that will allow you to authentically recreate modern combined road-rail transport? The Fleischmann 6660201 three-piece “Rolling Highway” set from the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) brings three eight-axle low-floor Saadkms-class cars to your layout, allowing you to create a characteristic Rolling Highway train from Era VI.

The exceptionally low-profile design of these transport cars makes the “Rollende Landstraße” an interesting component of European freight transport. With the Fleischmann car set, you can depict this unique transport concept on your N-gauge layout and add a varied car type to your modern freight trains.

Fleischmann Rolling Highway – Modern Combined Freight Transport by the ÖBB

The “Rollende Landstraße,” often referred to as RoLa, is a special form of combined freight transport. In this system, entire trucks—including their tractors and semi-trailers—are transported by rail on special low-floor railcars.

This transport concept makes it possible to shift a portion of heavy road traffic to rail. The Rolling Highway plays a particularly important role on international transit routes and in regions with high freight traffic volumes.

In Austria, too, this transport method has become a distinctive feature of rail freight transport. Thanks to their low loading height, the special low-floor cars allow for the transport of trucks within the clearance gauge permitted for railways.

The Fleischmann 6660201 car set depicts three of these special transport cars from the Austrian Federal Railways in Era VI.

Three eight-axle low-floor cars of the Saadkms class

The Fleischmann set consists of three eight-axle low-floor cars of the Saadkms type. This special car design was developed for the transport of road vehicles by rail and is characterized by its exceptionally low loading surface.

One low-floor car is supplied with included buffer beams. The other two cars are designed as intermediate cars, each with one side equipped with a low-floor coupler.

These different configurations allow for a suitable arrangement of the cars within a road-rail train formation.

With a total length over buffers of 351 mm, this three-car set provides an interesting foundation for recreating modern combined freight transport on your N-gauge model railroad layout.

Expandable for a prototypically long road-rail unit

A particular advantage of the Fleischmann 6660201 is the ability to extend the train set with matching additional cars.

For this purpose, Fleischmann offers the low-floor center car with part number 6660202. By combining multiple cars, you can assemble longer road-rail trains, such as those found on major European freight routes.

This creates a varied and prototypical train scene, especially on larger N-gauge layouts featuring modern freight yards, loading terminals, or electrified main lines.

Ideal combination with the ÖBB road-rail escort car

To fully represent a rolling road system, an escort car is required in addition to the low-floor cars. While the trucks are transported on the special transport cars, the drivers can travel along in the escort car.

A suitable addition is the separately available Fleischmann 6260122 RoLa escort car of the Bimz class in the current design of the Austrian Federal Railways.

Together with the three-car low-floor car set and additional cars, you can assemble a characteristic Era VI RoLa set.

Modern ÖBB electric locomotives, such as the Class 1116 or 1293, are ideal as locomotive options. This allows for interesting train formations for international freight transport.

Whether passing through a large freight yard, traveling on an Austrian main line, or as part of an international transit freight train—the “Rollende Landstraße” offers numerous possibilities for varied model railroad operation.

Bring modern combined freight transport to your N-gauge model railroad layout! Get the Fleischmann 6660201 three-piece “Rollende Landstraße” set from the ÖBB and lay the foundation for an impressive Era VI RoLa train.
