Description

Roco 6200154 H0 Set of 4 IC 511 'Chiemgau' passenger coaches, DB, Ep. IV: Historic express train in a detailed replica

The Roco 6200154 H0 set of 4 reproduces the legendary Intercity 511 "Chiemgau" of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in true detail. This set includes four express train cars, including a first class compartment car (Avümz 111) and three second class compartment cars (Bm 235). With its authentic implementation and the typical features of Era IV, this model is a real highlight for model railroaders and railroad historians.

The prototype: The IC 511 "Chiemgau"

The Intercity 511 "Chiemgau" was part of the Intercity system introduced in 1979 under the slogan "Every hour - every class". It connected Cologne with Berchtesgaden and was the only Intercity that ran south of Freilassing to Berchtesgaden. In the section south of Freilassing, the train was shortened to four carriages in order to cope with the steep section. This was initially operated by class 144.5 locomotives, later by class 111 and occasionally by class 194.

The coaches of the IC 511 were equipped with sway dampers for the Augsburg-Munich high-speed line and were approved for speeds of up to 200 km/h. In addition to intercity services, the cars were also used for local trains to and from Freilassing, which made unusual train compositions possible, including the carrying of freight cars.

Detailed realization of the set

The Roco 6200154 set contains the following cars:

• A first class compartment car (Avümz 111), air-conditioned and with the car number 19-94 070, a unique piece with a trial air-conditioning system from the Luwa company.
• Three second class compartment coaches (Bm 235) from the 1974 (black long beam) and 1976 (ocean blue long beam) series with original class numbers and smoker/non-smoker lettering.

The cars are designed in the classic colors of the German Federal Railroad from Era IV. The precise printing and authentic detailing make this set a special collector's item. The set is part of the "Freilassing Edition", a special series that pays tribute to the railroad history of the Freilassing depot.

Technical details and compatibility

The model set is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). With an overall length over buffers (LüP) of 1212 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the set is suitable for a wide variety of layouts. The cars are equipped with coupling shafts according to NEM and close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics), which allows easy integration into train formations.

Care and maintenance

The cars in the Roco 6200154 set are low-maintenance and robust. To maintain operational safety, it is recommended that the wheels and couplings be cleaned regularly. Moving parts should be lightly lubricated if necessary to ensure long-term operational reliability.
