NEW Roco 6220265 H0 Nahverkehrs-Steuerwagen TRI Ep.VI AC

Roco 6220265 H0 Commuter Train Control Car TRI Ep. VI AC – Former Silberling control car with “Karlsruhe front end”

Would you like to expand your H0 model railroad layout with a distinctive commuter control car from a private railroad company? The Roco 6220265 commuter control car from TRI Train Rental GmbH brings modern regional rail service from Era VI to your model railroad tracks. The model depicts a 2nd-class control car with a baggage compartment of the BDnrzf 463.0 class and is based on the well-known “Silberling” prototype. A particularly distinctive feature is the so-called “Karlsruher Kopf,” which gives the control car its distinctive appearance. For operation in reversible trains, the car is equipped with a functional decoder that enables the lighting to switch between a white headlight and a red tail light in both analog and digital operation. In digital operation, the lighting for the train destination display can also be switched on. With a length over buffers of 303 mm and an interior fitting, the car is an excellent addition to compatible commuter train sets. The AC version also makes the model suitable for H0 model railroads designed for AC operation.

Prototype: Commuter rail control car of TRI Train Rental GmbH

The Roco 6220265 replicates a 2nd-class commuter control car with a luggage compartment of the BDnrzf 463.0 class operated by TRI Train Rental GmbH. The prototype is based on a former “Silberling” and is depicted in a “Karlsruhe-style” configuration. Thus, the model adds a distinctive control car from modern Era VI commuter rail service to the fleet.

The distinctive feature of a control car lies in its function within a reversible train set. Together with a suitable locomotive and matching passenger cars, it can complete a commuter train set. Thanks to the integrated function decoder and switchable lighting functions, the Roco model is particularly appealing to model railroaders who wish to simulate train operations with prototype-accurate lighting functions.

“Karlsruhe Nose” – Characteristic Design of the Control Car

A defining feature of the Roco commuter control car is its “Karlsruher Kopf” design. This design gives the model its distinctive appearance and visually distinguishes it from other passenger cars. Together with the class designation BDnrzf 463.0 and its assignment to TRI Train Rental GmbH, the vehicle can be clearly identified.

As a 2nd-class control car with a luggage compartment, the model offers an interesting addition to a suitable commuter train set. The included interior fittings enhance the detailed representation of the car’s interior. With a length over buffers of 303 mm, the car also has generous dimensions, which should be taken into account when planning a longer train set.

Function decoder with white headlight and red tail light

The Roco 6220265 is equipped with a function decoder that enables direction-dependent lighting changes between a white headlight and a red tail light. This function is available in both analog and digital operation. This allows the lighting on the control car to be adjusted to the current direction of travel.

This feature is particularly useful for a control car when representing a reversible train. The light change ensures proper lighting at the end of the vehicle without requiring the car to be operated exclusively in digital mode. Thus, the model offers a practical feature for model railroading enthusiasts who wish to operate their commuter trains in both analog and digital modes.

Digitally Controllable Lighting for the Train Destination Display

In addition to direction-dependent lighting changes, the Roco control car features digitally switchable lighting for the train destination display. This function can be selectively activated in digital mode and adds another detail to the existing lighting system.

The technical specifications include an electrical interface for locomotives compliant with PluX22, as well as a PluX16 digital decoder. Interior lighting (item number 4000005) is also available as an optional accessory. This is not included in the factory-installed equipment and can be retrofitted as needed.

With interior furnishings and a length of 303 mm over the buffers

The Roco commuter rail control car is equipped with interior furnishings. This makes the model appear well-appointed even upon closer inspection on the model railroad layout or in a display case. As a 2nd-class passenger car with a luggage compartment, it adds another car type to a suitable commuter rail set.

The length over buffers is 303 mm. This measurement is helpful when assembling a train set, as it simplifies planning the total length. The car length should also be taken into account when designing platforms, station tracks, and storage areas. The control car can be combined with other suitable cars to form a matching commuter train set.

NEM 362 Coupler with Short-Coupler Kinematics

To connect with compatible additional cars, the Roco control car features NEM 362 coupling sockets with close-coupling kinematics. This allows for the use of compatible couplers to integrate the car into a train set. The close-coupling kinematics ensure a tight connection between the cars and make it easier to assemble a suitable commuter train set.

The model is designed as an AC version. It is therefore intended for model railroaders who operate a properly configured H0 AC layout. The included interior furnishings, the function decoder, and the switchable lighting for the destination sign round out the control car’s technical features.

A perfect addition to Era VI commuter reversible trains

The Roco 6220265 is particularly well-suited for H0 model railroad layouts focused on modern commuter rail. As a control car from TRI Train Rental GmbH, the model can be integrated into a suitable reversible train set. Its design as a former “Silberling” with a “Karlsruhe-style front end” makes it an interesting addition for model railroaders who wish to represent different types of control cars.

The functional decoder enables the light to switch between a white headlight and a red tail light in both analog and digital operation. In digital operation, the switchable lighting for the destination display is also included. Together with the existing interior furnishings and close-coupling mechanism, the model offers various options for use in a suitable commuter train set.

Roco 6220265 – Local Transit Control Car for Your H0 Model Railroad

The Roco 6220265 H0 commuter control car from TRI Train Rental GmbH combines the characteristic design of the “Karlsruhe head” with the function of a 2nd-class control car featuring a luggage compartment. Its design as class BDnrzf 463.0, the included interior fittings, and the length over buffers of 303 mm make this model an interesting addition to compatible Era VI commuter trains.

Particularly practical features include the functional decoder with direction-dependent lighting changes and the digitally controllable lighting of the destination display. The NEM 362 coupler sockets with close-coupling kinematics facilitate integration into a suitable train set. If you’d like to expand your H0 model railroad layout with an AC control car featuring a “Karlsruhe-style” front end, this Roco model is an excellent choice. Add the TRI control car to your commuter train set and make your Era VI model railroad operation even more varied!
