This 6-axle model of a German State Railroad (DR) tank car from Era IV, equipped with a brakeman's cab, is a must for any serious model railroad enthusiast.

Prototype of the model: The DR 6-axle tank car

In Era IV, which extends from 1965 to 1990, the Deutsche Reichsbahn played a decisive role in freight transportation in the GDR. Tank wagons were indispensable for the transportation of liquids such as mineral oils, chemicals and other liquid raw materials. The 6-axle tank wagon with brakeman's cab was specially designed for transporting large quantities of liquids and offered increased load capacity and improved running characteristics thanks to its additional number of axles.

The German Reichsbahn in Era IV

The Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) was the state railroad company of the GDR and had a decisive influence on the railroad system in East Germany. In Era IV, the DR continuously modernized its fleet, with tank cars such as the 6-axle type playing a central role in the transport system. These wagons were used on main and branch lines and were essential for supplying the industry with the necessary liquids.
