Liliput L260223 N 2-tlg. Set, Getreidetransportwagen Uagpps, Bulgarien, rot, Ep. V-VI

Liliput L260223 N 2-piece set Uagpps grain transport wagon of the BDZ: Modern agricultural transport in epoch V-VI

The Liliput L260223 N 2-part set of Uagpps grain transport cars of the BDZ reproduces the modern bulk goods traffic of the Bulgarian State Railroad (BDZ). With their prototypical different paint schemes and detailed lettering, these cars are a perfect addition to model railroad layouts of eras V and VI.

The prototype: BDZ Uagpps grain transport wagon

The 4-axle self-unloading wagons of the Uagpps type have been specially developed for the transportation of hygroscopic bulk goods such as grain, maize, soybeans and sunflower seeds. These wagons are characterized by a special interior coating that ensures contamination-free transport of foodstuffs. They are among the most important vehicles for agricultural transportation in Bulgaria.

BDZ uses these wagons for national and international transportation, especially for the export of grain to Western European countries. The wagons have a sliding roof for easy loading with bulk hoppers and gravity unloading, which enables fast and efficient unloading. The road numbers 933 9 242-1 and 933 9 244-7 show the active operating condition of these wagons in 2006.

Era VI: Privatization and internationalization

Era VI (from 1990 to the present day) is characterized by the privatization and modernization of many state railroads. The BDZ also adapted its wagon stock to the new standards. The Uagpps grain wagons are a central component of international bulk goods traffic and run regularly between Bulgaria and other European countries.

Liliput: High-quality models

The manufacturer Liliput is known for its detailed models with realistic printing and excellent running characteristics. The L260223 set is characterized by its fine engraving, authentic ageing and faithful reproduction of the BDZ grain wagons. The different color versions in particular provide a varied look for freight traffic.

Technical equipment and functionality

Each wagon has a length over buffers of 96 mm and is equipped with an NEM 355 coupler pocket and close coupler kinematics. This ensures safe operation and allows easy combination with other wagons.

The detailed reproduction of the unloading equipment and the realistic roof with sliding roof mechanism make this model particularly true to the original. The fine printing with the BDZ logos and individual company numbers corresponds exactly to the real prototypes.

Design and color scheme

The wagons are painted red, which is typical of many modern BDZ grain transport wagons. The different color versions in the set ensure realistic variation in model operation. The razor-sharp lettering with road numbers and technical information makes this set particularly attractive.

Possible uses on the model railway layout

The set is perfect for freight trains in the international grain trade. It can be used in block trains as well as in mixed agricultural transportation. These wagons develop their full potential particularly in conjunction with grain silos or agricultural operations.

Care and maintenance

To keep the model in perfect condition in the long term, it should be cleaned 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 modern freight trains

The Liliput L260223 N 2-part set of Uagpps grain transport wagons from the BDZ is an excellent choice for model railroaders who want to realistically recreate international bulk goods traffic. With its high-quality details, different color variants and excellent running characteristics, this set is a valuable addition to Epoch VI layouts.
