Description

Roco 6600062 H0 Set of 3 DRG tank cars: Detailed freight cars of Era II

The Roco 6600062 H0 wagon set includes three 4-axle tank wagons from the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). With different road numbers and a finely detailed design, this set is a must-have for model railroaders who want to recreate freight trains of Era II.

The prototype: DRG tank cars

The DRG tank wagons were used in the 1930s and 1940s to transport liquids such as mineral oil, chemicals or other liquid goods. Their robust construction and versatility made them indispensable components of the freight trains of the time. The 4-axle tank wagons offered a high loading capacity and were characterized by their reliability.

The railroad company: Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG)

The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft was responsible for the standardization and further development of the German railroad system in Era II. Freight cars such as the tank cars included in this set are typical representatives of this era and reflect the requirements of the growing freight traffic.

Era II: Standardization and growth

Era II (1920-1949) was a time of innovation and standardization in the railroad industry. The introduction of uniform wagon designs, such as the tank wagons shown here, helped to increase efficiency and adapt to increasing transport requirements.

Color scheme and design

The three tank wagons in this set have different road numbers, which increases their variety and authenticity. One of the wagons has a boiler in a lighter shade of gray, which gives the set visual variety. The detailed reproduction and prototypical color scheme make this set an eye-catcher on your model railway layout.
