Description

Roco 6200078 H0 Set of 2 'Arlberg-Express' passenger coaches, ÖBB, Era IV, Set 2: Elegance on rails

The Roco set of 2 'Arlberg-Express' passenger car riages adds two stylish passenger carriages from the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) to your model railway layout. This set is a detailed reproduction of the Vienna - Innsbruck coach group from the early 1980s and supplements the famous 'Arlberg Express' with authentic coaches for high-quality passenger transportation.

The prototype: The 'Arlberg Express'

The 'Arlberg Express' was one of the illustrious names in international express train travel and its introduction dates back to the era of transcontinental luxury trains. Unlike trains such as the Orient Express, it crossed the whole of Austria in a west-east direction and connected cities such as Vienna and Innsbruck with international destinations such as Basel and Paris. Over the years, the 'Arlberg Express' developed into an international train with numerous scheduled coaches serving destinations such as the Salzkammergut, Carinthia and East Tyrol. These sets make it possible to recreate the train in various configurations and bring the history of international rail transport to life.

Detailed design and high-quality workmanship

The set consists of two coaches: a 2nd class domestic passenger coach of the class Bmpz and a 1st class Schlieren coach of the class Ap in cream white paintwork. Both cars reflect the operating condition of the early 1980s and are characterized by their precise reproduction and prototypical paint scheme. The fine detailing makes this set a special eye-catcher on your layout.

Technical features and possible uses

The cars are designed for operation with direct current (DC) and have NEM coupling shafts with close-coupling kinematics that ensure smooth and safe operation. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 575 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the wagons fit seamlessly into your H0 model railway layout.
