Roco 44002 8-piece set of DB Ep. III freight wagons - Authentic models from the economic miracle era

The Roco 44002 8-piece set of DB Ep. III freight wagons is a detailed replica of the versatile freight wagons that were in use in Era III of the German Federal Railroad (DB). This era, which extends from the 1940s to the 1970s, was characterized by the reconstruction of Germany after the Second World War and the economic upswing of the post-war period. The railroad played a central role in this phase, especially in freight transport, which was the backbone of economic growth. This set from Roco brings the atmosphere of this period to your model railroad layout and makes it possible to reproduce realistic freight trains.

Prototype: Era III of the German Federal Railroad

Era III of the German Federal Railroad marked a time of economic reconstruction and change. After the Second World War, the railroad was an important part of logistics and freight transport in Germany. The freight cars of this time were robust, versatile and designed for the transportation of a wide variety of goods. The Roco 44002 set reflects this diversity by presenting eight different types of cars that were used in mixed freight train service in the 1950s and 1960s.

The cars include covered freight cars for transporting sensitive goods, open freight cars for bulk goods as well as special cars such as refrigerator cars and stake cars that were used for specific transport requirements. This variety of wagons made the Deutsche Bundesbahn an important player in the European transportation network of the time.
