Roco 5500022 H0 7-Piece Set Nightjet ÖBB Era VI
Would you like to run a modern night train with impressive attention to detail on your H0 model railroad layout? With the Roco Nightjet Car Set 5500022, you can bring the Austrian Federal Railways’ international night train service right onto your tracks. The seven-piece set depicts a Nightjet train running on the Zurich–Hamburg route and impresses with its finely detailed cars, elaborately designed interiors, and numerous separately attached components. Particularly appealing are the SBB partnership decals on two cars, which give this train set a distinctive prototypical character. The 1:87-scale models are delivered fully equipped from the factory and feature a prototypical design with NEM coupler sockets and an included rigid coupler. This gives you a comprehensive night train that is ideal for sophisticated layouts and collections.
Prototype: ÖBB Nightjet in international passenger service
The ÖBB Nightjet trains connect numerous cities across Europe and enable comfortable overnight travel. Different car types fulfill various roles: sleeper cars provide overnight accommodations, couchette cars complement the offering, while multifunctional cars and control cars perform additional functions within the train formation.
The Roco car set is based on the Zurich–Hamburg route and features a special version with SBB partnership decals on two cars. This set is ideal for recreating Era VI international night train service on a model railroad layout.
Seven Cars for a Diverse Train Formation
The seven-piece Roco Nightjet set contains various car types that together form a comprehensive and versatile night train. The different car types create a varied appearance and replicate the typical composition of a modern night train.
| Number | Car Type | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | End-of-train sleeper car | WLAmz |
| 1 | Sleeper car | WLAmz |
| 3 | Couch car | Bcmz |
| 1 | Multifunctional car | ABbmpvz |
| 1 | Control Car | Bfmpz |
All seven cars are delivered fully equipped from the factory. This ensures that the numerous details are already on full display when used on the model railroad layout. The combination of sleeping cars, couchette cars, multifunctional cars, and control cars provides an attractive foundation for prototypical operation.
Fine details and high-quality craftsmanship in 1:87 scale
The cars impress with their elaborate construction featuring numerous separately attached components. The control car front is intricately detailed. Multi-piece car floors with separately attached skirts ensure a convincing reproduction of the undersides of the vehicles. The areas behind the skirts and the exposed components are also carefully crafted.
The completely redesigned bogies are based on Siemens’ lightweight construction strategy. Additionally attached disc brakes highlight the level of technical detail. Partially separately mounted air conditioning units on the roofs complement the cars’ modern appearance.
The car connections deserve special attention. The factory-installed connecting hoses create an almost seamless overall appearance when the cars are coupled together. The cars can be coupled as closely as possible, giving the entire formation a particularly harmonious look.
Elaborately Designed Interiors and Mini Cabins
The interiors, too, have been crafted with great attention to detail. The multi-part interior fittings feature numerous separately inserted elements and intricate printing. Doors and mini cabins in the aisle areas are designed with particular care.
The mini cabins differ in their door positions, such as open and closed doors. Separately installed ladders inside the cabins and luggage racks round out the features. As a result, each car has its own unique character and offers numerous interesting details even upon closer inspection.
Flush-mounted destination displays on the side walls, as well as the multicolored rear wall of the control car’s cab, round out the high-quality overall impression.
Coupling System and Technical Features
NEM coupling sockets and rigid coupler
The car set features NEM 362 coupling sockets with close-coupling kinematics. A rigid coupler is also included. This allows the car set to be configured according to the intended train formation. The tight car connection enhances the realistic appearance of the Nightjet train.
Analog Operation and Lighting
This version is designed for analog DC operation. According to the technical specifications, the control car features LED headlights with direction-dependent lighting changes. Standard integrated interior lighting is not specified for this version. Those who wish to illuminate the cars individually should therefore explore options for suitable retrofitting.
Space Requirements and Use on an H0 Model Railroad Layout
The seven-car Nightjet is designed for H0 gauge at a scale of 1:87. With a total length over buffers of 2,137 mm, the complete train set requires sufficiently long track sections and platforms. The specified minimum curve radius is 358 mm.
The night train really comes into its own on spacious main lines and in expansive stations. When paired with a matching ÖBB locomotive, you can create an impressive international train formation that realistically reflects Era VI night train service.
Roco Nightjet 5500022 – A Comprehensive Night Train for Your Collection
The seven-piece Roco Nightjet car set combines a varied car configuration with finely crafted details and high-quality workmanship. The different car types, the elaborately designed mini cabins, and the numerous separately attached components make this train an attractive addition for discerning model railroading enthusiasts.
The SBB partnership decals on two cars add a special touch and give the train formation a unique character. Thanks to the factory-installed accessories, the car set can be used on the layout without the need for additional assembly of the numerous detail parts.
Expand your H0 fleet with this modern ÖBB Nightjet and bring international night train service to your model railroad tracks. With seven different cars and an elaborate design, this set will be an impressive centerpiece on your layout!
