Description

Tillig 01144 TT Set of 2 Refrigerated Freight Cars Iaghqrs, DR, Era IV – GDR Fresh Produce Logistics in a Two-Pack

Are you looking for authentic refrigerated cars for temperature-controlled freight transport in Era IV? The Tillig 01144 TT 2-Car Set of Iaghqrs Refrigerated Freight Cars from the Deutsche Reichsbahn brings two faithful-to-the-original models to your TT layout—a completely new design based on the MK 4-61 type built by VEB Waggonbau Dessau. These cars were indispensable for food transport in the GDR—whether in refrigerated trains or as single cars in daily freight service.

MK 4-61 – Self-Sufficient Refrigeration Technology from Dessau

The Iaghqrs MK 4-61 type refrigerated freight cars had their own power supply for cooling and were therefore independent of locomotives or station infrastructure. This made them particularly versatile—both in refrigerated freight train formations and in single-car service. Whether meat, dairy products, or perishable fresh goods—these vehicles ensured supply throughout the GDR and beyond.

New model design with a high level of detail

The set consists of two individually marked refrigerated cars with a total length over the buffers of 316 mm. The fine detailing includes realistic roof structures, ventilation grilles, engine units, and smooth side walls with precise printing in the style of Era IV. A real highlight for anyone who values technical and visual accuracy to the prototype.

Technically, the models feature NEM-compliant coupler mounts and close-coupling kinematics—ideal for reliable operation in all standard TT train formations. Whether in a classic refrigerated train with additional Iaghqrs cars or mixed with covered freight cars and tank cars—these models are highly versatile.

Versatile applications in DR freight transport

The engine cooling cars are ideal for use with typical DR locomotives, such as the BR 110, BR 118, or BR 132. Whether in mainline service, delivering to wholesale markets, or in factory traffic to industrial complexes—these cars were an integral part of GDR freight transport and give your layout a realistic and thematically consistent look.

A must-have for all DR fans and Era IV model railroading enthusiasts
