LGB 24662 G Rail Bus, DR, Ep. III - A Classic of the German State Railroad

The LGB 24662 G rail bus is a detailed reproduction of the VT 133 525 rail bus from Wismar that was used on the narrow gauge network of the German State Railroad in the Prignitz. This model impresses with its high quality and precision, from the prototypical color scheme and lettering of Era III to the modern technology that makes it an indispensable part of any garden railroad.

With an impressive length over buffers of 450 mm and a powerful Bühler motor with ball bearings that drives both wheel sets, the rail bus is a real highlight both visually and technically. The integrated mfx/DCC decoder allows operation on digital layouts and offers numerous digitally switchable functions that make the model lively and realistic.

Technical excellence and prototypical equipment

The LGB 24662 is equipped with a high-quality Bühler motor with ball bearings, which ensures a powerful and smooth drive. Both wheel sets are driven by the motor, which gives the model excellent tractive power and realistic running characteristics. The robust metal wheelsets and the precisely manufactured body ensure that the rail bus runs smoothly and reliably even over long distances.

The mfx/DCC decoder not only enables operation on digital model railroad layouts, but also offers a variety of light and sound functions that can be individually controlled. The direction-dependent three-light headlights, the interior lighting and the numerous sound effects - including typical sounds such as the engine noise or the signal horn - contribute to an authentic driving experience.

Historical significance and faithful replica

The Wismar rail bus, also known as the "Schweineschnäuzchen", was an important part of the local transport network of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1930s. Its lightweight design and flexible deployment options made it a popular choice for use on branch lines, particularly in rural areas. The model of the VT 133 525 reflects this historical significance and brings a piece of railroad history to your model railroad system.

The color scheme of the model corresponds to Era III, which makes it ideal for layouts that focus on the post-war period and the 1950s to 1970s. The detailed lettering and carefully designed interior give the rail bus a realistic appearance that will delight both collectors and model railroaders.

Digital and analog operation - flexibility in every layout

Thanks to the mfx/DCC decoder, the LGB 24662 rail bus can be used on both digital and analog layouts. The decoder offers numerous functions that can be controlled via digital control units, including switching the light and sound effects and controlling the interior lighting. The rail bus can also develop its full performance in analog operation, making it a versatile model for any garden railway layout.

The coupling of the rail bus is designed in accordance with the NEM standard and has close coupling kinematics, which enables a safe and simple connection with other wagons or locomotives. This makes the model not only safe to operate, but also compatible with a large number of other LGB vehicles.

For collectors and model railroaders - an indispensable model

The LGB 24662 rail bus is not only a reliable model for use on garden railroad layouts, but also a valuable collector's item for railroad fans. Its high level of detail, robust construction and wide range of functions make it a model that no collection should be without. The combination of historical significance and modern technology makes this model a highlight of any model railway layout.

Conclusion: The perfect rail bus for your garden railroad

The LGB 24662 German State Railroad VT 133 525 rail bus in Era III offers everything a demanding model railroader could wish for. From the detailed reproduction to the innovative technical features such as the mfx/DCC decoder and the digitally controllable sound and light functions - this model is a perfect addition to any garden railroad layout.
