A typical freight car from the early days of the Bundesbahn

Technically sophisticated and reliable

The model stands on sturdy metal wheel sets and is equipped with spring buffers that allow for realistic car transitions. The close-coupling mechanism ensures reliable operation even on tight curves. Additionally, the car offers the option to retrofit a screw coupling—ideal for model railroading enthusiasts with specific operational requirements or a strong focus on prototypical accuracy.

A must-have for all fans of Era III
