The Roco 6200010 H0 set of 3 recommissioned carriages is a perfect addition for model railroaders who want to recreate an authentic train composition of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV. This three-part car set includes two passenger cars and an express freight car, which impress with their attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. This set is an excellent match for steam locomotives such as the DR Class 38 for stylish use on your model railway layout.

The prototype of the Deutsche Reichsbahn reconditioned carriages

The so-called " Rekowagen " (reconstruction cars) of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were created in the 1950s and 1960s as part of an extensive modernization program. The aim was to renew older, often war-damaged carriages through fundamental conversions and to extend the service life of the vehicles. Many components, such as the running gear and bogies, were retained, while the car bodies and interior fittings were modernized. The reconditioned coaches were used in both local and express train services and shaped the image of the GDR railroad landscape until well into the 1980s.

The German Reichsbahn in Era IV

Era IV in the model railway sector covers the years 1970 to 1990 and is characterized by further technical developments and an increasing standardization of railroad technology in Europe. The Deutsche Reichsbahn modernized its fleet of vehicles during this period, but without completely switching to new types of carriages. Reconditioned coaches continued to play an important role in everyday operations and were used on many DR lines.

Technical details and features of the Roco 6200010 set of 3

The Roco 6200010 wagon set offers numerous technical features that are both visually and functionally impressive:

• Composition: the set consists of a 3-axle class Bagtre reconditioned freight wagon, a 2-axle class Baage reconditioned seating wagon and a class Gms covered freight wagon with brakeman's platform.
• Coupler: Equipped with an NEM 362 shaft and close coupler kinematics, the set provides reliable and prototypical coupler connections.
• Interior: The passenger cars are equipped with a detailed interior that allows retrofitting with interior lighting.
• Compatibility: The set is designed for use on DC layouts and harmonizes perfectly with other Era IV vehicles.
• Length: The total length over buffers is 417 mm.

Wide range of possible uses on the model railway layout

The set of 3 recompression cars offers numerous possible uses on your model railroad layout. The cars are ideal for use in passenger trains that run through rural regions or larger stations of the GDR era. Thanks to the combination of passenger and freight wagons, mixed trains, which were frequently used in the everyday operations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, can also be realistically recreated. With a class 38 steam locomotive or a class 118 diesel locomotive, you can recreate atmospheric train compositions from Era IV.

Design and color scheme of the recompression wagons

The color scheme of the set corresponds to the typical appearance of Era IV. The passenger coaches are in a classic DR green, while the freight wagon and the goods wagon have authentic lettering and road numbers. The detailed printing and prototypical proportions make the set a real eye-catcher on any layout.

Expansion and extension options

For model railroaders who want to continuously expand their layout, Roco offers numerous suitable additions. These include further Era IV carriages, such as sleeping or dining cars, as well as corresponding locomotives. Thanks to the NEM coupling mount and the close coupling kinematics, you can easily attach additional vehicles to the set and flexibly design your train composition.

Care and maintenance of the reconditioned wagons

To maintain the functionality and appearance of the wagons in the long term, they should be regularly maintained. This includes cleaning the wheelsets and couplings and checking the moving parts. Dust and dirt can impair the running characteristics and should therefore be removed regularly. Special LED modules are recommended for retrofitting the interior lighting to ensure uniform illumination.
