The Roco 6200128 H0 set of 3 passenger coaches 'D 704' offers an exclusive selection of passenger coaches that realistically and accurately depict the "D 704" express train of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) from Era V. This wagon set combines historical authenticity with an impressive variety of wagon material. It includes vehicles with characteristic designs and functions that impressively reflect the train operation of the early 1990s.
In June 1991, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) implemented one of the biggest reforms in Austrian rail transport with the "New Austro-Takt 91". The aim was to create a nationally coordinated public transport network. The D 704/705 was an express train that connected Vienna Westbahnhof with Bischofshofen. Instead of the usual route via Salzburg, the route ran through the scenic Gesäuse and Ennstal valleys. Although this route was shorter, it was not a faster connection due to the greater number of stops and the lower standard of construction.
The train was primarily used to connect tourist destinations in the Enns Valley and was particularly popular at weekends and during the vacations. The variety of the coach material, which was often based on availability, gave the D 704 its special character. This feature is captured realistically in the model set.
The Roco 6200128 wagon set shows the operating condition of the D 704 from 1992/93 and impresses with its high level of detail and authentic color scheme. It offers a successful reproduction of the typical cars of the train, which emphasize the special features of this express train with their variety of uses and designs. The excellent workmanship and authentic lettering make this set a real asset to any model railway layout.
The cars in the set represent the characteristic paint scheme of ÖBB Era V. The Eurofima wagon is characterized by a blood orange/umbrella grey colour scheme, while the other wagons are painted in traffic red/ivory. This color combination gives the set a harmonious variety that authentically reproduces the typical appearance of the D 704.
The model is designed for the H0 gauge (scale 1:87) and the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 878 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the set is suitable for different layout configurations. Thanks to the coupling shafts according to NEM and the close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics), the set enables safe and prototypical operation.
The wagons in the Roco 6200128 set are low-maintenance and robust. It is recommended that dirt be removed from the wheels regularly to ensure optimum power transmission. The couplings should also be checked occasionally to ensure smooth operation. These simple measures will keep the model in perfect condition in the long term.
The Roco 6200128 H0 set of 3 passenger coaches 'D 704' is a perfect addition to any H0 model railway layout that appreciates historical authenticity and versatility. The impressive combination of high-quality car models and precise details makes this set a highlight for collectors and model railroaders alike. It offers the opportunity to relive the history of Austrian rail transport in an impressive way.
