The combination of DB operating numbers and VTG owner's markings corresponds to the prototype of this era. Detailed boiler superstructures, gangways and dome covers round off the high-quality appearance.

Technical features & special functions

The set is equipped with close coupler link and NEM coupler shafts - ideal for smooth operation on your N layout. The cars run quietly and reliably and can be easily integrated into existing train sets.

For authentic Era IV mineral oil trains with industrial flair

Historical background

In Era IV, tank wagons of the Uerdingen design were widely used for the transportation of fuels and chemicals. The Shell variant with VTG identification was used on many routes in Germany and abroad. These wagons were mostly used in block trains or as single wagons for industrial connections. Their characteristic paintwork made them an unmistakable part of everyday railroad life.

Compatibility & expansion options

The set is fully compatible with all common N-gauge 2L direct current track systems. The combination with additional tank cars or matching locomotives such as the class 290 or class 216 is particularly effective. Also ideal for freight car trains with a focus on industry and mineral oil transportation.
