Rivarossi HR2990D H0 Rottenkraftwagen KLV 53, DB, Ep. III, DC-Digital - Historic work vehicle with DCC technology

The Rivarossi HR2990D H0 KLV 53 Rottenkraftwagen is a modern realization of a historic Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) vehicle from Era III. This model not only impresses with its precise reproduction and striking yellow paintwork, but also with its factory-installed DCC decoder, which enables simple control on digital systems. Perfect for historical scenarios, this model combines authentic design with modern technology.

The prototype of the KLV 53

The KLV 53 rotten wagon was specially developed in the 1950s for track construction and maintenance. Its compact design and versatility made it an indispensable helper for the German Federal Railroad. The KLV 53 was able to transport personnel, tools and materials efficiently and was therefore an essential part of the track construction fleet of Era III.

The German Federal Railroad - Progress in Era III

Era III was a time of reconstruction and modernization after the Second World War. The German Federal Railroad used innovative vehicles such as the KLV 53 to make maintenance and repair work more efficient. The yellow paintwork, typical of work vehicles, ensured high visibility and increased safety during track work.

Rivarossi - quality and innovation in model making

Rivarossi stands for high-quality models that impress both visually and technically.

With its combination of historical authenticity and modern digital technology, this model offers a unique opportunity to bring the history of the German Federal Railroad to life on a digital layout.

Technical features of the Rivarossi HR2990D

This model is equipped with a factory-installed DCC decoder that enables simple and precise control on digital model railroad layouts. The direction-dependent light change (white) ensures a prototypical representation, while the Next18 interface facilitates future extensions. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 155 mm and a coupling shaft according to NEM with close coupling kinematics, the KLV 53 is perfectly suited for use on H0 layouts.

Era III - An era of reconstruction

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by the renewal of the railroad infrastructure in Germany. Vehicles such as the KLV 53 rotten motor car symbolized the progress and efficiency of this time. With its versatility and practical design, the KLV 53 was an indispensable tool for the German Federal Railways.

Design and color scheme

The model impresses with its bright yellow paint scheme, which was typical for German Federal Railroad work vehicles. The prototypical lettering and the precise reproduction of technical details such as lighting and mechanics make this model an eye-catcher on any layout. The authentic color scheme underlines the historic character of the vehicle.

Care and maintenance

Dust and dirt should be removed regularly to maintain the optimum functionality and flawless appearance of the model. Cleaning with a soft brush and lubricating moving parts with special model railway oil will ensure a long service life. The digital decoder and the electrical connections should be kept clean to ensure smooth operation on the digital layout.

Conclusion: A historic model with modern technology

The Rivarossi HR2990D H0 Rottenkraftwagen KLV 53 is a perfect choice for model railroaders who value historical accuracy and modern control technology. With its DCC decoder, detailed implementation and bright color scheme, this model is an asset to any Era III layout. It combines the authenticity of a historic vehicle with the flexibility of the digital model railroad world.
