NW 22230 H0 Samms 4860 Heavy-Duty Freight Car, Loaded, DR, Era IV – Authentic Model for Realistic Freight Transport

The Samms 4860 heavy-duty freight car, operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in Era IV, offers you a highly detailed model that impressively depicts the realistic freight transport of the 1970s and 1980s. With raised side walls and an authentic load of gravel, this car is an essential element for any model railway layout that recreates the historical rail freight transport of the GDR.

Perfect for heavy loads and versatile applications

The Samms 4860 heavy-duty car was designed to transport large quantities of bulk goods such as gravel, coal, or sand. The raised side walls ensure a secure load and prevent material from falling out during transit. The model is loaded with gravel, which further enhances its authenticity and makes the car an eye-catcher in freight train formations.

Detailed design and high-quality craftsmanship

This model stands out for its prototypical brown-brown-black color scheme, which reflects the typical look of DR freight cars from Era IV. The precise reproduction of the raised side walls and the realistic gravel load make this heavy-duty car an outstanding example of exact model-making artistry. Whether in a long freight train or as a single car in a shunting scenario—the car blends seamlessly into any scene.

Reliable Running Characteristics and Easy Integration

The heavy-duty car is equipped with 2L DC wheel sets and standard couplers, making it compatible with all common H0 systems. Its robust construction ensures reliable running characteristics on straight tracks as well as in curves. This guarantees smooth operation even in complex model railroad layouts.
