Roco 6200057 H0 3er Set passenger car Zwickauer Traditionszug, DR, Ep.IV #2 Product Details
Roco 6200057 H0 Set of 3 passenger cars Zwickauer Traditionszug, DR, Era IV: Historic train set for your model railroad
The Roco 6200057 H0 set of 3 "Zwickauer Traditionszug" of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) brings a piece of railroad history to your model railroad layout. The faithfully reproduced passenger cars belong to the traditional car set that was used in regular service until the 1970s and is now an important museum vehicle. With its elaborately designed interior and optional retrofittable interior lighting, this set is a must for model builders who value authentic historical scenarios.
The prototype of the traditional Zwickau train
In the 1970s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn carried out extensive modernization work on its wagon fleet. While many old coaches were replaced by new ones, the DR combined the last four-axle express train coaches of the standard design (built between 1928 and 1932) to form the so-called " Traditionszug". This train set, later known as the "Zwickauer Traditionszug", was stationed in the Greifswald and Dresden districts and played a central role in the preservation of historic vehicles. In the 1980s, the train was completely overhauled, making it a popular museum vehicle.
Roco - precision and quality in model making
The Roco brand stands for high-quality model railroad products with the highest level of detail and precision. The set of 3 of the traditional Zwickau train faithfully reproduces the historic passenger carriages and impresses with numerous features such as a detailed interior and train running signs. Thanks to the modular design and the retrofittable interior lighting, this set offers a wide range of options for customizing your layout.
Era and areas of use of the traditional Zwickau train
The model set belongs to Era IV (1965-1990), a time of technical change on the German State Railroad. Typical usage scenarios are historic special runs, museum trains and regular DR express train connections in the 1970s. The train set is ideal for model railroaders who want to realistically represent the transition between old and new cars on their layout.
Technical details of the Roco 6200057 set of 3
The set consists of three passenger carriages, which are manufactured in precise construction and with numerous functional features:
- Car set 2: One dining car (WR4ü) and two 3rd class cars (C4ü)
- Track: H0 (scale 1:87)
- Length over buffers (LüP): 752 mm
- Interior: All cars are equipped with a detailed interior

It is suitable for both analog and digitally upgraded layouts.
Functionality and expansion options
The passenger carriages are equipped with retrofittable interior lighting, which creates a realistic atmosphere during night operation. The enclosed train running signs allow the carriages to be customized. The close coupling kinematics ensure realistic car spacing, which is particularly impressive both visually and technically when cornering.
