Tillig 01145 TT 2-Piece Set of Refrigerated Freight Cars Tthevr, DR, Era III

Are you looking for a special freight car set for your TT layout that depicts the refrigerated transport of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era III? The Tillig 01145 TT 2-Piece Set of Tthevr Ice-Cooled Freight Cars, DR, Era III consists of two DR Tthevr ice-cooled freight cars, bringing an interesting car design to the 1:120 scale.

The set features a model of the EK 4-61 type refrigerated car from VEB Waggonbau Dessau. These cars were produced alongside the MK 4-61 engine-cooled cars. The included information states that 70 cars of this type were delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn.

DR Freight Car Set with Two Ice-Cooled Cars

The Tthevr ice-cooled freight cars are classified as Era III. According to the provided information, this era encompasses the early Bundesbahn and Reichsbahn periods from approximately 1949 to 1970. It is characterized by the independent development and modernization of the railway systems in the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic.

At the same time, Era III represents a phase of structural change. The information provided mentions the expansion of diesel and electric train operations as well as the gradual decline in steam locomotive-hauled trains. The development of a modern fleet of rolling stock and new safety technology is also among the characteristics described for this period.

New Design of the EK 4-61 Refrigerated Car

The model is described as a new construction of an EK 4-61 ice-cooled freight car. In the prototype, an autonomous power supply via a cardan alternator mounted on a bogie enabled air circulation for cooling. Cooling was provided by the ice bunkers located at the ends of the car during travel.

Thus, this set offers a car design that is particularly well-suited for model railroaders who wish to expand their freight car fleet with special DR refrigerated cars. The combination of two cars in one set provides a suitable foundation for freight train formations with a refrigerated transport theme.

For TT scale at 1:120

The Tillig 01145 set is designed for the TT gauge. The scale is 1:120, and the track gauge is 12 mm. With a length over buffers of 307 mm, this 2-car set is the ideal length for use in TT freight trains.

For operation on the model railroad layout, the coupler mount and close-coupling kinematics are specified. This allows the two refrigerated freight cars to be integrated into suitable car formations and used within a DR freight train.

Suitable for Era III freight trains

If you’re building a TT layout featuring Deutsche Reichsbahn rolling stock from Era III, this 2-car set makes for an interesting addition. The Tthevr refrigerated freight cars combine the DR classification with the EK 4-61 model and introduce the specialized theme of refrigerated freight transport to your layout.
