Roco 7780006 TT diesel railcar 174 001-8 with sidecar, DR, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

The Roco diesel railcar 174 001-8 with sidecar of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in Era IV presents itself in a fictitious DR livery. The model impresses with a delicate reproduction of the spring assemblies and separately attached shunting handles under the buffers. It is also equipped with interior lighting ex works.

In 1982, Waggonbau Studenka exhibited a railcar of the M152 series at the Leipzig Spring Fair, which the DR rented for testing. After a few months, the test runs took place in the Halle/Magdeburg area in the fall of 1982. The DR marked the railcar with the series number 174 001-8. The initially multi-colored sidecar was later painted in plain red. Due to a foreign trade deficit, the DR was unable to procure any further railcars and the test vehicles were returned in December 1983.
