Description

Minitrix 15931 N Type Otmm 70 Self-Unloading Car, DR, Era IV: Detailed Freight Car with a Realistic Load

The Minitrix 15931 type Otmm 70 self-unloading car is a detailed reproduction of a German State Railroad (DR) freight car from Era IV. This car was used in the 1980s for the transportation of bulk goods such as coal and is shown in an operating condition around 1983/84. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 60 mm and realistic aging, this model is a perfect addition to model railroad layouts in N scale.

The self-unloading wagon is loaded with real coal in true-to-scale grain size, which makes the model even more realistic. The close coupling kinematics ensure optimum coupling connections, which improves operation on the layout. The model is not only visually appealing, but also designed with technical precision to meet the requirements of demanding model railroaders.

Prototype: The DR type Otmm 70 self-unloading wagon

The Otmm 70 self-unloading wagon was used for the transportation of bulk goods such as coal, ore or gravel and played an important role in the freight traffic of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1970s and 1980s. Era IV, which lasted from around 1970 to 1990, was characterized by modernization and the expansion of rail freight transport in the GDR. The Otmm 70 was particularly useful for the fast and efficient unloading of bulk goods, which made it an important part of the logistics of the time.

This type of wagon was often used in block trains to transport large quantities of bulk goods over long distances. The wagons were able to unload their cargo directly at their destination through side flaps, which considerably accelerated the reloading process.

Minitrix: High-quality model technology and realistic details

The model of the Minitrix 15931 self-unloading wagon impresses with its attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. The car not only has realistic aging that authentically reproduces the operating condition of the 1980s, but also has load inserts made of real coal in true-to-scale grain size. These details make the model particularly realistic and lend historical authenticity to any model railway layout.

The close coupler mechanism ensures that the wagon can be easily integrated into trains and enables realistic operation. With a length over buffers of 60 mm, the car fits perfectly in N scale trains and can be combined with other Minitrix models to form authentic freight trains.

Technical details of the Minitrix 15931 self-unloading wagon

The Minitrix 15931 type Otmm 70 self-unloading wagon is designed for N scale (1:160) and has a length over buffers of 60 mm. The model has a realistic coal load and authentic signs of aging that accurately reflect the operating condition of Era IV. The close coupler mechanism allows smooth operation on model railroad layouts and ensures that the cars remain closely connected to each other.

The self-unloading wagon has the typical shape of the Otmm 70, which was developed for transporting bulk goods. The detailed reproduction and realistic signs of ageing make this wagon an excellent addition for all model railroaders who value historical accuracy.

Recommended purchase: A must for N-gauge enthusiasts

The Minitrix 15931 N type Otmm 70 self-unloading wagon is a perfect addition for model railroad layouts that value historical accuracy and a wealth of detail. With its authentic aging, real coal loading and high-quality workmanship, this model offers a realistic representation of rail freight transportation on the German State Railroad in the 1980s. Collectors and fans of Era IV will especially enjoy this model.

Thanks to the close-coupling kinematics and the realistic load, the car is ideal for operation on N-gauge layouts and offers a high degree of realism and driving fun.
