6200088 H0 Set of 4 passenger cars, CSD, Era IV: Historic blunderbusses in a detailed design

The 6200088 H0 set of 4 Czechoslovakian State Railways (CSD) passenger coaches brings the classic aesthetics and functionality of the famous "Donnerbüchsen" coaches to your model railway layout. This set consists of three 2nd class passenger coaches and a baggage car, which impress with their authentic details and high-quality materials. They are a perfect addition for model railroaders who want to recreate the railroad traffic of Era IV.

The prototype: Donnerbüchsen - a classic of the rails

The "Donnerbüchsen", originally developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG), owe their name to the characteristic noises they made while running. They were designed for use in local transport and set new standards in passenger transportation. After the Second World War, many of these coaches found a new home with the Czechoslovakian State Railways (CSD), where they remained in service until Era IV.

The set shows the variety of "Donnerbüchsen" cars as they were used on the CSD. These cars are ideal for operation on branch lines or as a supplement to historic steam locomotives.

Era IV: The time of change

Era IV (1965-1990) was a phase in which historic coaches such as the "Donnerbüchsen" were still in use, but were increasingly replaced by more modern vehicles. The set reflects this transitional period and offers a detailed representation of these popular cars in Czechoslovakian railroad service.

Design and details

The coaches feature the finest printing and authentic lettering, perfectly reflecting the appearance of the CSD in Era IV. The open platforms of the passenger coaches provide a particularly nostalgic look, while the closed entrance compartments and the baggage car emphasize the diversity of the set. All carriages have realistic reproductions of doors, windows and other details.

Technology and workmanship

The cars are equipped with an NEM coupling shaft and use close-coupling kinematics, which allows a close distance between the cars and ensures realistic operation. With an overall length over buffers (LüP) of 641 mm, the set is ideal for operation on H0 layouts. The minimum radius of 360 mm also makes the wagons suitable for compact layouts.

High-quality materials

The wagons are made of robust plastic with precisely manufactured metal parts that guarantee durability and stability. The detailing of the bogies and the intricate design of the platforms and buffers emphasize the high quality of this model.

Scope of delivery

The set contains the four wagons in secure packaging that provides optimum protection against damage. Detailed operating instructions make it easy to get started.

Care and maintenance

The cars are low-maintenance, but should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt, especially on the bogies and couplings. Occasional lubrication is recommended to ensure smooth operation of the couplings. The printing should be cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid damage.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The 6200088 H0 set of 4 CSD passenger coaches is a must for all model railroaders who want to recreate the historical local transport of Era IV. The authentic reproduction of the "Donnerbüchsen" coaches, combined with high-quality workmanship and well thought-out technical details, make this set an excellent choice.
