Description

Hot Cargo for the Blast Furnace – Märklin H0 Slag Car Set

With the Märklin 46146 Slag Car Set, you can add two authentically designed special-purpose cars to your H0 layout, just like those used in heavy industrial operations starting in the mid-1950s. The copper-brown paint scheme with realistic wear and tear and the functional design make this set the ideal addition to a blast furnace train.

The Prototype – Special Cars for the Steel Industry

Slag cars are special transport cars designed to carry the slag produced during the blast furnace process—the hot, liquid waste product of steel production. The cars feature large pans that can be tilted to the side to empty the slag into pits or containers. In industrial facilities, particularly in the Ruhr region, such cars were indispensable.

Functional model with a high level of detail

The set consists of two special-purpose cars with sturdy metal frames. The slag pans can not only be tilted to the side but are also removable—ideal for realistic operational scenarios. The copper-brown paint finish features authentic-looking wear marks, giving the model a particularly realistic appearance.

Ideal addition to blast furnace trains

Combines perfectly with other industrial and blast furnace freight cars from the Märklin lineup—e.g., 46014, 46047, 46221, and 48678—as well as the matching BR 80 steam locomotive (Item No. 37066). For realistic layout projects, the Faller Blast Furnace 2 kit is recommended as an authentic backdrop.

Two slag cars with tilting and removable pans, metal frames, and signs of aging. Each car is individually packaged and additionally protected by sturdy outer packaging. Length per car: 10.8 cm.
