Roco 6600227 H0 4-Piece Set: DB AG Road-Rail System – Sleeping Car and Three Saadkms Low-Floor Cars
Would you like to recreate a “Rolling Highway” on your H0 model railroad layout and are looking for a suitable car set? With the Roco 6600227 “Rolling Highway” car set, you’ll receive a four-car combination consisting of a sleeper car from the Czech State Railways and three low-floor cars from Deutsche Bahn. The set combines two different car types and provides an interesting foundation for depicting this unique form of rail freight transport.
The formation consists of one Y/B-70 type, Class Bc sleeper car and three Saadkms type low-floor cars. Particularly interesting is the combination of an attendant car and the special low-floor cars. It gives the train a distinctive appearance that clearly sets it apart from ordinary freight trains.
With the separately available Roco add-on car 6600228, the car set can be expanded to recreate a prototypically long train.
The Rolling Highway – A Special Form of Rail Freight Transport
The Rolling Highway is a transport concept in which road vehicles are transported on specially designed railroad cars.
At the heart of this system are special low-floor cars, whose design differs from that of ordinary freight cars.
The Roco 6600227 car set captures this unique type of train and combines three low-floor cars with a matching escort car.
This creates a distinctive car configuration that is ideal for model railroaders interested in combined freight transport.
Four cars in a unique configuration
The Roco 6600227 set consists of a total of four cars representing two different types.
Included is a Y/B-70 class, Bc type sleeper car from the Czech State Railways. This is complemented by three Saadkms-type low-floor cars from Deutsche Bahn.
This combination makes the set particularly interesting, as it does not consist exclusively of freight cars but also includes an escort car.
The set thus provides a basis for a “Rolling Highway” train consist featuring different vehicle types.
Y/B-70 Sleeping Car of the Czech State Railways
A special feature of the set is the Y/B-70 sleeper car, designated as class Bc.
This car belongs to the Czech State Railways and serves as the attendant car within the set.
Its design differs significantly from the three low-floor cars, adding an interesting variety to the train formation.
It is precisely the combination of the sleeper car and special freight cars that makes the Roco 6600227 a unique car set.
Sleeper Car with Interior Fittings
The sleeper car included in the set is equipped with interior details.
This gives the model an additional level of detail in the car’s interior.
This feature is particularly appealing to model railroaders who value the accurate representation of different car types.
The interior furnishings complement the exterior design of the sleeper car and contribute to the overall appearance of the passenger car.
Interior Lighting Can Be Retrofitted to the Sleeper Car
Another special feature is the option to retrofit the sleeper car with interior lighting.
Roco part number 4000005 is listed as the compatible interior lighting.
This allows the sleeper car to be enhanced with an additional lighting feature as needed.
Especially when displaying a train in a model railroad scene with subdued lighting, an illuminated interior can add an interesting visual accent.
The interior lighting is not part of the standard equipment listed but is intended as an aftermarket option.
Three Saadkms-type low-floor cars
The freight car section of the Roco 6600227 consists of three low-floor cars of the Saadkms type from Deutsche Bahn.
These cars are among the characteristic vehicles of a rolling highway.
Their distinctive low-floor design clearly sets them apart from conventional freight cars.
The combination of three cars of the same type creates a cohesive group of cars that defines the appearance of the train set.
Distinctive low-floor design for the rolling highway
The Saadkms-type low-floor cars are distinguished by their unique design.
This design is specific to their use within the Rolling Highway system and differs significantly from traditional freight car designs.
Together, the three low-floor cars form the defining feature of this car set.
For model railroaders who collect various specialty cars, the Roco set thus offers an interesting addition to their collection.
A low-floor car with included buffer blocks
A special feature of the Roco 6600227 is the included buffer beams for one of the low-floor cars.
Thus, the set includes additional parts for one of the three Saadkms cars.
This feature is one of the explicitly mentioned special characteristics of the car set.
This detail is particularly interesting for model railroaders who focus on the various components and designs of specialized freight cars.
Deutsche Bahn AG and Czech State Railways in One Set
The Roco 6600227 combines vehicles from two railway companies within a single car set.
The three low-floor cars belong to Deutsche Bahn AG, while the sleeper car is assigned to the Czech State Railways.
It is precisely this combination that makes the set a unique configuration for combined freight transport.
The service car and the three low-floor cars complement each other within the intended train formation.
A special type of train for your H0 model railroad layout
With the Roco 6600227, you can expand your model railroad layout with a train formation that stands out distinctly from classic passenger and freight trains.
The combination of sleeper cars and low-floor cars creates a distinctive look.
This set offers an interesting addition, especially for model railroaders who focus on Deutsche Bahn AG’s freight operations.
Even within a collection of various specialty cars, the “Rolling Highway” is a unique type of train.
Extend the Rolling Highway with Roco 6600228
A particular advantage of the Roco 6600227 is its expandability.
A matching low-floor intermediate car is available under Roco part number 6600228, designed to extend the train formation.
With additional intermediate cars, the “Rollende Landstraße” can be expanded step by step.
This allows model railroading enthusiasts to build a longer train formation and replicate a train of prototype length.
The extension car is sold separately and is not included in the four-car basic set.
Special Coupling Features of the Cars
The coupling equipment for the Roco 6600227 includes both a proprietary coupling and NEM 362 coupling sockets with close-coupling kinematics.
These different coupler types are included in the car set.
When expanding the set with additional cars, care should therefore be taken to ensure the couplers are compatible.
In particular, the Roco 6600228 extension car, which is specifically designed for this purpose, offers a suitable option for extending the rolling highway.
An interesting addition for collectors of specialty cars
The Roco 6600227 is aimed particularly at model railroaders interested in combined freight transport and special car types.
The combination of a sleeper car and three low-floor cars offers an interesting alternative to standard freight car sets.
This set provides a suitable car configuration especially for collectors of Deutsche Bahn AG vehicles and enthusiasts of the “Rollende Landstraße” system.
The option to expand the set with the Roco 6600228 also makes it appealing to model railroaders who wish to gradually expand their train formations.
