IGRA 96500010 TT Faccs Self-Unloading Car, Lovochemie, Era V – A true-to-life freight car for discerning model railroaders

The TT Faccs Self-Unloading Freight Car from IGRA, item number 96500010, is a highly detailed model based on an important prototype from Czech railway history. Used in Era V and operated by the ČD railway company, this model represents an important part of late 20th-century freight transport. With its authentic design and high-quality craftsmanship, the car is a real highlight for any TT layout.

Technical Specifications and Model Information

The original car was developed in 1967 at the car factory in Česká Lípa. Based on operational experience with the Sa 26 and Sav 28 models, series production began in 1970. By 1982, approximately 5,650 of these self-unloading cars had been manufactured—including 400 units with a roof to protect sensitive materials.

The IGRA model is characterized by high build quality and precise reproduction. With a length over the buffers of 107 mm, it is perfectly tailored to the TT scale system and integrates harmoniously into existing model railroads.

Detailed craftsmanship and design of the TT self-unloading car

The IGRA self-unloading car impresses with its true-to-original paint scheme and meticulous decals. The variant with car number 81 54 699 7 245-0 was designed specifically for the ČD railway company. The model realistically reflects its service period during Era V and conveys a strong historical connection through its authentic appearance.

Special Construction and Variants

Particularly noteworthy are the two loading platform variants—optionally with wooden or steel planking. In addition, the model is available both with and without a roof. This versatility gives the car a high degree of individuality and makes it an interesting item for collectors and model builders alike.

Technology and Features for Realistic Operation

The car is equipped with Peho bushings and high-quality metal wheel sets, ensuring smooth and reliable running performance. These features not only ensure a visually convincing presentation on the layout but also reliable operation—especially during regular service.

Compatibility and Expansion Options

As a TT-scale model (1:120 scale), the Faccs car fits perfectly with standard TT track systems. For a realistic train formation, we recommend combining it with other Era V freight cars and matching ČD locomotives. Thanks to its precise design, the car can be seamlessly integrated into complex freight trains.
