Liliput L260175 N 3-piece set DB Rlmmp 650 heavy goods wagons: Robust heavy goods wagons with aged boilers

The Liliput L260175 N 3-piece set of DB Rlmmp 650 heavy goods wagons is a faithful reproduction of the versatile bogie flat wagons that were used for heavy transport in the 1970s. With aged boiler loading, fine detailing and an authentic color scheme, this set is a perfect addition to any Era IV layout in N scale.

The prototype: German Federal Railroad Rlmmp 650 heavy freight car

The Rlmmp 650 heavy-duty wagons were further developed from earlier SSy 55 flat wagons and were specially designed for the transportation of heavy goods such as machines, boilers, vehicles and components. The wagons were used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) in large numbers from the 1960s and were in use until the 1990s.

The plank floor without stanchions allowed flexible use for different loads, while the Minden-Dorstfeld DB 931 bogies ensured a high load capacity and excellent running characteristics. Thanks to the low loading height, even large-volume or heavy loads could be transported safely.

Era IV: Modern logistics in the 1970s

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by the transition from traditional rail logistics systems to modern transport solutions. The introduction of computerized UIC numbering ensured uniform identification of freight wagons throughout Europe. The Rlmmp 650 wagons were widely used at this time and were used to transport transformers, construction machinery, boilers and large containers.

Liliput: Highest quality in model making

The manufacturer Liliput is known for its high-quality models with precise detailing and excellent workmanship. The L260175 set impresses with its fine engravings, realistic coloring and authentic boiler loading. The enclosed ramp plates enable a realistic reproduction of loading processes and ensure increased play and collection quality.

Technical equipment and functionality

Each wagon has a length over buffers of 67.5 mm and is equipped with an NEM 355 coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics. These ensure smooth operation and a secure connection with other wagons.

The cars are equipped with Minden-Dorstfeld DB 931 bogies, which ensure a high load capacity and smooth running characteristics. The plank floor without stanchions allows a wide range of loading options, while the enclosed ramp plates enable the realistic transportation of vehicles or bulky goods on the model railway layout.

Design and color scheme

The cars are painted in the classic color scheme typical of the German Federal Railroad. The applied road numbers 398 0 096-2, 398 0 111-9 and 398 0 124-2 correspond to the original vehicles from 1979. The aged boilers ensure a particularly realistic appearance and underline the industrial character of this heavy goods wagon set.

Possible uses on the model railroad layout

The Rlmmp 650 heavy goods wagons are ideal for use in industrial and construction trains, heavy transport trains or as part of military transports. They can be perfectly combined with Era IV diesel locomotives to recreate realistic scenarios from the 1970s and 1980s. These wagons are particularly effective on industrial facilities, loading stations or on large main lines.

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 carefully removed with a soft brush or compressed air spray. The axles and couplings should be checked occasionally and lubricated with special model railroad oil.

Conclusion: A must for heavy-duty fans
