Description

Roco 6200063 H0 Set of 3 Sonnblick Railway cogwheel passenger train: Romantic mountain railroad of eras III-IV

The Roco 6200063 H0 car set includes two passenger cars and a baggage car for the Sonnblick Railway. This set embodies the fascination of the alpine railroad world of eras III-IV with its detailed reproduction and the possibility of use on cogwheel railroad layouts.

The prototype: Cogwheel passenger trains

Cogwheel railroads have a special task: they overcome extreme gradients that could not be mastered with conventional friction railroads. Transporting tourists and luggage to picturesque mountain regions has always been an important part of their operation. The carriages included in the set offer space for passengers and freight and are indispensable components of a rack-and-pinion passenger train.

With numerous bridges, tunnels and bold routes, rack railroads combine functionality and breathtaking natural experiences. These railroad lines are particularly popular in the Alps with tourists from all over the world.

Era III-IV: The heyday of cogwheel railways

Era III-IV (1945-1970) marks the transition from traditional steam railroads to modern electric railroads. During this period, many rack railroads developed new vehicle concepts to meet the increasing demands of tourism.

Color scheme and design

The wagon set is designed true to the original and has a realistic interior. The cars have FLEISCHMANN PROFI couplers for cogwheel operation, which can be exchanged for standardized couplers. With an overall length over buffers of 304 mm, the set is ideal for compact model railway layouts with an Alpine character.
