Roco 6280005 2-tlg. Set 2: Reisezugwagen, DR, Ep. IV

The Roco 6280005 2-piece set 2 brings the historic passenger coaches of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV to your TT model railroad layout. With a 2nd class passenger coach (Bme) and another 2nd class coach with luggage compartment (BDmse), this set offers detailed reproductions of the well-known Y/B 70 coaches. These models are finely detailed, equipped with prototypical interior fittings and offer a wide range of possible uses to enrich your layout with the charm of historic rail travel.

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

Roco is a leading manufacturer of model trains, known for its high precision, detailing and technical innovation. The Roco 6280005 2-part set 2 is another example of the excellence of this traditional company. The models impress with the finest details, such as specially attached plug-in parts, and a prototypical replica that will delight even the most demanding model builder. This set offers not only visual but also technical highlights that ensure smooth operation on your TT layout.

Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of change and internationalization in rail transport. During this era, modern vehicles were developed to meet the increasing demands of passenger and freight transport. The Y/B 70 coaches of the DR were typical representatives of this era and played a central role in international rail traffic. These cars are a perfect addition to model railroad layouts depicting scenes from this era.

The 2-piece set consists of two passenger coaches on a scale of 1:120 for TT gauge. The total length over buffers is 408 mm. Both carriages have coupling shafts in accordance with NEM 358 with KK kinematics, which enable safe operation and realistic carriage spacing. The models are also equipped with a prototypical interior, which is particularly effective when retrofitted with interior lighting (available separately).

The TT gauge (1:120) offers an excellent balance between attention to detail and space requirements. With a track gauge of 12 mm, this nominal size is ideal for model builders who want to create realistic scenarios in a compact space. The Roco 6280005 set fits seamlessly into TT layouts and provides authentic train traffic that enhances the overall appearance of your layout.

The models in the set are characterized by their finely detailed design. Specially attached plug-in parts, such as door handles, roof vents and other components, underline the high quality and attention to detail. The green color scheme of the cars corresponds to the prototypes from Era IV and gives the models an authentic look. The prototypical interior offers additional possibilities for individual design, especially in combination with optional retrofittable interior lighting.

The Roco 6280005 set offers a wide range of possible uses on your layout:

• Transit trains: Recreate realistic scenarios of the Berlin-West Germany connections.
• International long-distance trains: Add typical trains of the 1970s and 1980s to your layout.
• Interzone traffic: Depict the historical connections between East and West Germany.
• Regional scenes: Also use the carriages for use in fast or express trains within the GDR.

Thanks to the detailed design and authentic color scheme, the models can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of scenarios.

Both coaches are prepared for retrofitting with interior lighting. By installing interior lighting (available separately), you can emphasize the prototypical interior design and make your layout even more realistic when running at night. Retrofitting is uncomplicated and offers additional visual appeal.
