Technical Specifications for the Model

The HÄDL 121049-03 IFA W50LA is designed as a road vehicle model for TT gauge. The model is built to a scale of 1:120 and enhances TT layouts, dioramas, and collections with a harmonious commercial vehicle based on a classic prototype.

The tractor-trailer configuration offers interesting design possibilities, especially when combined with matching trailers, semi-trailers, loading areas, warehouses, or cargo-handling scenes. The balloon tires emphasize the vehicle’s rugged character and make it suitable for rural or unpaved environments as well.

Usage possibilities on a TT layout

This IFA W50LA tractor-trailer is ideal for freight yards, industrial areas, farms, construction sites, freight rail yards, or loading areas. The model looks particularly realistic in settings where goods are transshipped between road and rail.

Even when parked on the side of the road, in a depot, or in front of a repair shop, the light blue IFA adds extra detail to your model railroad world. This creates a lively environment that impresses not only with trains but also with matching road vehicles.
