Märklin 46679 H0 Fals Self-Unloading Car, RAG, Era V – For Heavy Loads and an Authentic Coal-Mining Atmosphere

Are you looking for an authentic bulk-cargo car for your Era V freight trains? Then the Märklin 46679 self-unloading car from RAG Ruhrkohle AG is exactly what your layout needs. This model not only adds weight to the tracks but also brings a good dose of Ruhr Valley atmosphere!

Realistic depiction of bulk cargo transport

The prototype is a four-axle, spacious Fals-type self-unloading car, as used around 1991 for transporting bulk cargoes that were not sensitive to moisture. The reddish-brown privately owned car of RAG Ruhrkohle AG is equipped with a handbrake platform at one end of the car and ran on Type 665 bogies. A typical example of industrial heavy-haul logistics in coal transport.

Faithfully reproduced with rich detail

The model impresses with its true-to-scale and finely detailed design. Particularly striking: the attached transfer platform with an adjustment wheel for the handbrake. The car’s long sides—like the original—have no climbing holes or handholds. This ensures an authentic look that connoisseurs will appreciate.

Real coal—real weight

The car comes factory-loaded with a cargo insert filled with real coal. This means the car not only looks impressive but also adds realistic weight to your layout. The buffer height naturally complies with the NEM standard—ideal for smooth operation in freight train formations.

Robust and compatible

With a length over buffers of 144 mm, the car is optimally tailored to the H0 scale. The AC model can be easily integrated into existing layouts. A matching wheel set (E700580) is available for DC modelers—maximum flexibility included.

Perfect for Era V layouts and coal trains

Whether on its own or as part of a long bulk-cargo train – the Märklin 46679 cuts a fine figure on any layout. It combines perfectly with other RAG cars or compatible Era V freight locomotives. A must-have for anyone who values realistic scenes depicting freight transport from the 1990s.
