Märklin 46510 H0 Unit Tank Car USTC, DB, Era III

The Märklin 46510 is a detailed H0 model of a four-axle unit tank car from the 1950s. The prototype was a private car of the United States Transportation Corps (USTC), used on the German Federal Railroad (DB). With an authentic representation of Era III, this model brings a piece of railroad history to your layout.

Prototypical design and construction

The model shows the typical design of an older tank car with pressed sheet metal bogies and a brakeman's platform. The depiction is based on the operating conditions of the mid-1950s - ideal for adding to trains from this period.

Detailed Version

The Märklin 46510 is equipped with smooth-running special bogies that ensure stable operation. An attached ladder and a continuous catwalk on the boiler dome provide additional prototype fidelity and give the car an authentic character.
