Tillig 01140 TT 2-Piece Set of Tank Cars R, CSD, Era III

Are you looking for authentic ČSD tank cars for your Era III TT layout?

With the Tillig 01140 TT 2-Piece Set of R-Class Tank Cars from the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD), you can add two classic mid-20th-century tank cars to your international freight fleet. These cars are perfect for realistic Era III trains in 1:120 scale and faithfully reflect rail freight traffic in Central Europe between 1949 and 1970.

Based on ČSD fuel and chemical transport vehicles

The R-series tank cars were versatile in service with the ČSD—particularly for transporting liquids such as heating oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other industrial fluids. Such cars were used both on domestic routes within Czechoslovakia and in cross-border traffic—including with the DR and DB.

Finely detailed TT model with country-specific lettering

The set includes two tank cars with identical construction but individually marked, in the typical ČSD design. The models feature crisply printed decals, finely detailed piping, dome covers, and walkways, as well as a harmonious color scheme. This allows you to build realistic trains with an Eastern European character.

Scale and Technical Details

The tank cars are designed for TT scale (1:120) and run on a 12 mm gauge. The total length over buffers is 150 mm (for both cars combined). Thanks to the NEM shaft and close-coupling mechanism, the cars can be easily integrated into train formations and offer excellent running characteristics—even on tight curves.

Ideal for international freight trains of Era III

Whether in a mixed freight train with DR and DB cars or as part of an internal ČSD tank train—these models offer a wide range of uses. When combined with locomotives such as the ČSD Class T 478 or DR Class 110 locomotives, they create an authentic depiction of everyday Central European rail operations in the 1950s and 1960s.
