Tillig 12002 TT 3rd-Class Passenger Car C4ü, DRG, Era II Product Details

Description

An authentic DRG third-class passenger car for your Era II sets

The Tillig 12002 TT C4ü passenger car from the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft brings the typical atmosphere of interwar-era passenger rail travel to your model railroad layout. As a classic third-class car, it embodies the everyday travel of the 1920s and 1930s and is an indispensable part of realistic Era II train sets. This 2026 new release impresses with its prototypical accuracy, interior design, and the option to retrofit it with interior lighting.

Model Information & Technical Data

The model is manufactured for TT gauge in 1:120 scale and measures 165 mm over the buffers. It features detailed interior fittings and can be retrofitted with the appropriate interior lighting (accessory No. 08921). Precise coupling alignment is ensured by the NEM-compliant coupling mount in combination with close-coupling kinematics.

Technology & Features

Thanks to the NEM standard coupler and modern kinematics, the car is ideally suited for reliable train formation. The interior furnishings ensure an attractive appearance during both day and night operations, even with retrofitted lighting. The ability to retrofit interior lighting makes this car particularly attractive to discerning layout builders.

Appearance & Historical Design

The lettering and color scheme are based on the style of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft in Era II. The C4ü reflects the appearance of the DRG’s standard cars—sober, functional, and characteristic of the era. All-third-class cars were standard for local and commuter service at that time.

Prototype: C4ü – Standard Car for Public Transport

The C4ü was a widely used DRG car with exclusively third-class seating—designed for mass transit in local and regional service. These cars were part of the Reichsbahn’s uniformly developed fleet, which was intended to ensure cost-effectiveness and flexibility in day-to-day operations through standardization.

For model railroaders focused on realistic Reichsbahn scenarios

The Tillig 12002 is the ideal addition for all TT-scale model railroaders who want to faithfully recreate train sets from the 1920s through the 1940s. Whether in rush-hour traffic, on extra trains, or as part of a historic train—this car completes your Era II layout.
