Description

Roco 6280046 TT 2-piece set 2: "Sputnik" double-decker coach, DR, Ep. IV - Berlin local transport with character

With the Roco 6280046 wagon set, you can bring the unmistakable atmosphere of the Berlin local transport of the 1970s and 1980s to your TT layout. The two-part set contains two DBmu double-decker coaches in the typical red and beige "Sputnik" livery of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). These models are faithful reproductions of the legendary prototypes and series vehicles that were nicknamed "Sputnik" due to their striking appearance and intensive use in the capital.

Technology and equipment for the highest demands

The set is designed for TT scale (1:120) and has a length over buffers of 446 mm. Thanks to the equipment with NEM 358 shaft and close coupling kinematics, realistic operation in tight radii and in combination with other wagons is possible without any problems. The direct current system (DC analog) makes the set compatible with classic model railroad layouts.

Interior design and lighting option

Both cars are equipped with a complete interior design, which makes them particularly attractive for model railroaders who love detail. They can also be retrofitted with interior lighting (item number 4080001), which creates a particularly atmospheric overall picture in twilight or night-time operation.

Historical context - the history of the Sputnik wagons

VEB Waggonbau Görlitz delivered two prototypes of the double-decker single carriages to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1971. The aim was to develop vehicles that could be flexibly adapted to changing passenger numbers and were also easier to maintain. Following successful trials, series production of around 138 vehicles began in 1974. The cars became particularly popular in Berlin's local transport system - this is where they got their distinctive red-beige color scheme and the nickname "Sputnik".

Realistic implementation for Era IV layouts

The car set is the perfect addition for scenarios in urban and regional local transport on the Deutsche Reichsbahn. It can be excellently combined with the matching set 6280045 to represent complete train formations of Era IV. The typical Berlin color scheme makes the cars an eye-catcher on any layout.

For collectors, Berlin fans and model railroad enthusiasts

The "Sputnik" set is aimed at model railroaders who place particular value on historical authenticity and regional features. Whether as a single item or in combination with other DR cars - this set brings character, history and technical sophistication to your layout.

Scope of delivery and expansion options

The set includes two double-decker coaches in a high-quality design with detailed interior fittings. It is possible to retrofit the interior lighting; accessories are available separately. The packaging ensures safe transportation and stylish presentation.
