Roco 6280004 2-tlg. Set 1: Reisezugwagen, DR, Ep. IV

The Roco 6280004 2-piece set 1 brings the iconic passenger coaches of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV to your TT model railroad layout. With a 1st class passenger coach (class Ame) and a 2nd class passenger coach (class Bme), this set offers a detailed reproduction of the famous Y/B 70 coaches. These compartment cars were a milestone in express train service and represent rail service between East and West Germany in the 1970s and 1980s. With finely detailed models, prototypical interior fittings and the option of retrofitting interior lighting, this set is a real highlight.

From 1970, the Deutsche Reichsbahn procured the further developed Y/B 70 passenger coaches, which were based on the UIC Y coaches. These coaches were specially developed for express train services and were the preferred choice for transit trains between Berlin and West Germany as well as for international long-distance trains until the 1980s. The Y/B 70 coaches were also regularly used on inter-zone services. With their compartment layout and striking green color scheme, they shaped the image of GDR rail traffic.

For decades, Roco has stood for precisely manufactured models that are both visually and technically impressive. The 6280004 2-part set 1 is another example of the exceptional quality and attention to detail that characterizes Roco products. The models have specially attached plug-in parts, such as roof vents and door handles, and offer a prototypical interior design that will delight even the most demanding model builder. With the option of retrofitting interior lighting, you can upgrade the carriages individually and set the scene perfectly.

Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of great change in rail transport. During this era, modern coaches were developed for international rail traffic in order to meet the increased requirements. The DR Y/B 70 coaches were typical representatives of this era and played a central role in transit and interzone traffic. This set enables you to authentically recreate the historical rail traffic of this period on your layout.

The 2-piece wagon set is manufactured on a scale of 1:120 for the TT gauge. The total length over buffers (LüP) is 408 mm. Both wagons are equipped with coupling shafts according to NEM 358 and close coupling kinematics, which ensure safe operation and realistic wagon spacing. The prototypical interior design makes the carriages particularly rich in detail and opens up additional possibilities for individual design.

The TT gauge (1:120) offers an ideal balance between attention to detail and space requirements. The Roco 6280004 set fits seamlessly into TT layouts and complements them with two authentic passenger coaches that enrich the overall appearance of your layout. Thanks to their compact size, the models are also suitable for smaller layouts and still offer impressive details.

The carriages in the set impress with their true-to-original green color scheme, which corresponds exactly to the original vehicles of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Extra plug-in parts such as door handles, roof ventilators and other components ensure a realistic appearance. The detailed interior offers additional options for individual design and can be perfectly staged with retrofittable interior lighting.

The Roco 6280004 set offers numerous possible uses on your model railway layout:

• Transit trains: Represented by connections between East and West Germany.
• International express trains: Add long-distance trains that were on international routes to your layout.
• Regional scenes: Also use the carriages for express or express trains within the GDR.

Thanks to the versatile design options, the carriages can be integrated into a wide variety of scenarios.

Both coaches are prepared for retrofitting interior lighting. By installing suitable interior lighting (available separately), you can emphasize the detailed interior design and present your trains impressively even when running at night. Retrofitting is easy and gives the models additional visual appeal.

The Roco 6280004 2-part set 1 is an excellent choice for model railroaders who want to expand their TT layout with high-quality and detailed passenger coaches from the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
