Minitrix 18269 N Car Set Coke Transport 3, DB, Era III: Authenticity for Your Model Railroad Layout

The Minitrix 18269 N "Coke Transport" Part 3 car set is a high-quality addition for model railroaders who would like to enrich their collection with authentic freight cars from the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era III. This set consists of three detailed self-unloading cars that were specially developed for the transportation of coke and reflect the operating condition of the 1960s.

Prototype of the wagons: Type Fad-50 (OOtz) self-unloading wagons

The cars included in the set are replicas of the four-axle type Fad-50 self-unloading cars, also known as OOt-z. These wagons were mainly used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn to transport bulk goods that were not sensitive to moisture, such as coke. Characteristic of these wagons are the two unloading flaps on each long side and the brakeman's platform at the front. They are also equipped with Minden-Dorstfeld type bogies, which are known for their reliability and smooth running.

The German Federal Railroad in Era III

Era III covers the period from 1949 to 1970 and represents an important phase in the history of the German Federal Railroad. This period saw the reconstruction and modernization of the rail network after the Second World War. Freight traffic played a central role in the economic miracle era, with cars such as the Fad-50 being essential for the efficient transportation of raw materials.
