Product details for the Roco 6290090

Three commuter coaches for a classic City-Bahn train

The Roco 6290090 consists of three different commuter coaches that together form a varied push-pull formation. Combining different classes of accommodation with a driving trailer gives the train a particularly interesting appearance.

The set includes a first/second-class ABnrzb 772, complemented by a second-class Bnrzb 778. Completing the formation is the BDnf 784, a second-class driving trailer with an additional luggage compartment.

City-Bahn livery for unmistakable Bundesbahn character

An especially distinctive feature of the set is its City-Bahn livery. It makes the coaches instantly recognisable and brings colour to classic Deutsche Bundesbahn local passenger services.

Paired with an electric locomotive in a suitable livery, the coaches form a visually harmonious train that stands out from ordinary commuter formations. This makes the set ideal for modellers who specifically want to recreate colourful DB local passenger services in Era IV.

ABnrzb 772 – first and second class in one coach

The ABnrzb 772 combines first- and second-class accommodation in a single vehicle. It therefore represents both classes of accommodation within the commuter train.

A composite coach makes a compact push-pull formation more varied and versatile. Combined with the second-class-only coach, it creates a typical arrangement for everyday local passenger services.

Bnrzb 778 – a classic second-class coach

The second coach in the set is a second-class Bnrzb 778. It complements the composite ABnrzb and forms an important part of the commuter train.

The different coach types give the set variety while retaining a uniform City-Bahn appearance. Roco thus provides an appealing starting point for a commuter train based on the prototype.

BDnf 784 driving trailer with luggage compartment

Of particular interest is the BDnf 784 driving trailer. In addition to its second-class accommodation, it has a luggage compartment and enables push-pull operation, which is particularly important for local passenger services.

In full-size operation, this allowed the train to reverse direction at the terminus without the locomotive having to run round the coaches. The locomotive remained at one end of the train, while the driver controlled the train from the driving trailer when it was being propelled.

Function decoder for white/red light change

The driving trailer in the Roco 6290090 City-Bahn set is equipped with a function decoder for switching between white and red lights. This allows the headlights or tail lights to match the direction of travel.

A particularly practical feature is that the light change is available in both analogue and digital operation. The set can therefore provide directional lighting on TT layouts with different control systems.

Ideal for authentic push-pull operation

Push-pull operation is one of the most interesting ways to use this set. The driving trailer allows the formation to run in both directions without the locomotive having to run round at the terminus.

On a model railway, this creates a varied operating pattern: the City-Bahn train can shuttle between two stations and, after a short stop, depart straight away in the opposite direction. This makes the set ideal for layouts with point-to-point operation or a shuttle route.

S12 Köln-Nippes – Au (Sieg) route

The S12 Köln-Nippes – Au (Sieg) route is specified for this Roco model. This gives the set a clear regional identity and makes it particularly suitable for layouts depicting West German local passenger services.

Electrified main lines, suburban stations and busy commuter routes provide an appropriate setting. Paired with a suitable locomotive, the coaches can represent a characteristic S-Bahn or local passenger train.

Pairs well with a Class 111 in S-Bahn livery

The Roco 6290090 pairs particularly well with a suitable Class 111 electric locomotive in S-Bahn livery. The locomotive's pebble-grey and orange colour scheme fits perfectly into this historic local passenger service setting.

For example, pairing the set with Roco locomotive 111 147 creates an appropriate push-pull formation for the S12 Köln-Nippes – Au (Sieg) route. The result is a distinctive train for enthusiasts of classic Bundesbahn local passenger services.

For Bundesbahn fans and enthusiasts of historic commuter trains

The Roco 6290090 TT commuter coach set is particularly aimed at modellers who want to recreate Deutsche Bundesbahn local passenger services authentically. The different coach types provide variety, while the City-Bahn livery gives the train its unmistakable character.

The set will also appeal to collectors of classic push-pull trains. With its function decoder and luggage compartment, the driving trailer forms a particularly attractive end to the formation.
