With the Roco 6200322 Car Set 1 of the D 202 “Loreley-Express,” you can bring a piece of international express train history to your model railroad. This four-piece set from the Deutsche Bundesbahn recreates a characteristic Era IV train formation and pays homage to the historic connection between Basel SBB and Amsterdam CS. Featuring a baggage car, a first- and second-class car, a dining car, and a second-class car, the set offers a varied composition. The different car designs incorporate typical features of express train service from the 1980s.
For nearly 40 years, the Loreley Express connected the cities of Basel and Amsterdam. As a high-quality express train service, it enabled travelers in both classes to comfortably cover the route through three countries in less than half a day. The journey along the legendary Rhine made the D 202 a special representative of international passenger rail service.
The service was supplemented by through cars from Rome, Chiasso, and Chur. As a result, the train combined various international car routes into a single service. The Deutsche Bundesbahn’s Class 110 locomotives were always used for the run along the Rhine. North of Emmerich, the Dutch railway took over traction.
With the Roco Loreley Express car set, you can recreate this fascinating combination of international express rail service, various car types, and the classic Deutsche Bundesbahn era on your H0 layout.
The Roco 6200322 Car Set consists of four different express train cars, each featuring specific characteristics of the historical prototype. The set includes the Dms 905 baggage car, the ABm 225 first- and second-class car, the WRmh 132 dining car, and the Bm 234 second-class car.
Of particular interest is the design of the two passenger cars. They correspond to the frequently requested 1980s version, in which traditional green paint schemes were already combined with more modern lettering elements. Pictograms beneath the new, large class numbers mark this transitional phase in the visual identity of the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
The ABm 225 represents a through car from Chiasso that has already undergone the “Sonderarbeit Berlin” modernization. The Bm 234 is configured as a through car from Rome and features pictograms as well as the new, large class numbers. This gives both passenger cars a distinct designation within the international train service.
The other cars in the set also offer interesting design features. The Dms 905 baggage car appears for the first time in the green version with disc brakes. It thus adds a special variant of this car type to the set.
Another eye-catcher is the WRmh 132 dining car. It appears for the first time in the red-beige TEE livery with a black skirt and DB logo. This design corresponds to the typical version from 1973 onward and makes the dining car stand out within the set.
The WRmh 132 is also well-suited for TEE and IC trains. This offers additional possibilities if you’d like to expand your collection to include various express and long-distance themes from the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
Would you like to assemble the Loreley Express to match its historical prototype as closely as possible? The Class 110 is a particularly interesting choice for this. It was used to haul the train along the Rhine and was thus an integral part of the appearance of this international route.
With the four different cars in the Roco set, you can create a characteristic configuration of the D 202. The combination of a baggage car, passenger cars of various classes, and a dining car brings the diversity of express train service from that era to your model railroad.
All cars feature interior fittings. Interior lighting can be retrofitted. This makes the set an excellent expansion option for model railroad enthusiasts who wish to add lighting to their passenger cars.
The Roco 6200322 Loreley-Express Car Set combines the history of an international express train route with the characteristic car variants of Era IV. The various route cars, the distinctive paint schemes, and the typical lettering features of the 1980s make this collection particularly appealing to fans of classic Deutsche Bundesbahn passenger rail service.
Whether you want to recreate the D 202 “Loreley-Express” or expand your collection with four select Deutsche Bundesbahn express train cars, this set provides the perfect foundation.
Bring the historic Loreley-Express to your H0 layout! Order the Roco 6200322 car set and enrich your model railroad with four characteristic Deutsche Bundesbahn express train cars.
