Liliput L260169 N 3-piece set DRB heavy goods wagon SSy Cologne: Historical heavy transport in epoch II

The Liliput L260169 N 3-part set of DRB SSy Cologne heavy goods wagons brings the historical heavy transport from the Second World War period to your model railway layout. These exact replicas of the type SSy 45 bogie flat cars of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB) correspond to the operating condition of 1944 and are characterized by true-to-original details and high-quality workmanship.

The prototype: DRB SSy Köln heavy-duty car

The type SSy Köln heavy-duty wagons were used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB ) during the Second World War for the transportation of heavy military and industrial goods. These robust wagons were specially designed for the transportation of tanks, heavy trucks, construction machinery and other bulky loads.

Based on the SSy 45 frame, the wagons were later developed into the Rlmmp 700 type. They were equipped with Deutz unit bogies, which enabled a high load capacity and stability. The design with a low loading area ensured that high loads could be transported without exceeding the clearance gauge of the railroad infrastructure.

Era II: The Reichsbahn in transition

Era II (1925-1945) was a time of technical progress and massive investment in the railroad industry. The Deutsche Reichsbahn standardized many vehicle types and developed powerful heavy-duty wagons to meet the increasing transport needs of industry and the military. The SSy Köln wagons played a central role in freight transportation at this time and were used for both civilian and military purposes.

Liliput: Detailed models for the highest demands

The manufacturer Liliput is known for its precisely manufactured models with exact replicas of the prototypes. The L260169 set impresses with its fine engravings, realistic coloring and authentic lettering. Particularly noteworthy are the 3-column railings, stanchions and ramp plates included, which ensure a particularly realistic representation of the heavy load transport.

Technical equipment and functionality

Each wagon in the set has a length over buffers of 67.5 mm and is equipped with an NEM 355 coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics. This means that the cars can be easily combined with other vehicles and guarantee reliable operation. The Deutz standard bogies ensure excellent running characteristics, even on tight radii.

The included railings, stanchions and ramp plates enable realistic representation of loading scenarios and make this set particularly versatile. The detailed reproduction of rivets, struts and reinforcements ensures an exact reproduction of the original.

Design and color scheme

The wagons are painted in the typical color scheme of the Deutsche Reichsbahn from the 1940s. The applied road numbers 40 320, 40 332 and 40 337 correspond exactly to the prototypes and underline the historical authenticity. The fine printing with technical information and operating data makes this model an eye-catcher on any N layout.

Possible uses on the model railroad layout

The SSy Köln heavy goods wagons are ideal for use in freight trains, military transports or as part of industrial trains. They can be perfectly combined with steam locomotives or early diesel locomotives to recreate realistic Era II scenarios. The wagons are particularly effective on loading tracks, shunting yards and railroad stations.

Care and maintenance

To keep the model in perfect condition in the long term, it is advisable to clean the wagons regularly. Dust can be removed with a soft brush or compressed air spray. The axles and couplings should be checked occasionally and lubricated with special model railroad oil.
