Description

Are you looking for a typical DB bulk freight car for your TT-scale model railroad layout?

With the Tillig 15180 TT self-unloading car Fad 155 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn, you’ll receive a highly detailed model of a widely used bulk freight car from Era IV. This car was an indispensable part of heavy freight transport in the 1970s and 1980s—ideal for recreating authentic train scenes featuring bulk cargo transport on your TT layout at a scale of 1:120.

Based on a real-life freight car from the Deutsche Bundesbahn

The Fad 155 was a typical self-unloading car of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, designed for transporting coal, ore, or ballast. Whether in long block trains or mixed freight service, it ensured cost-effective transport and was a familiar sight on German main and branch lines during Era IV.

Authentic TT-scale model with DB lettering

The Tillig model impresses with its precise printing in the style of the Deutsche Bundesbahn of the 1970s. The subtle color scheme and realistic design of the signage, maintenance notices, and car markings make the car a visual highlight—whether operated individually or as part of a freight train.

Scale and Technical Details

The car is built to TT scale (1:120) and runs on a 12 mm track gauge. With a length over buffers of 83 mm, the car is ideal for realistic train formations while still being space-saving. Thanks to its NEM-compliant coupler mount and close-coupling kinematics, the car can be seamlessly integrated into existing train layouts.

Suitable for DB Era IV freight trains

Whether as part of a dedicated train with other Fad cars or in mixed freight service—this car fits perfectly into scenarios featuring typical DB diesel locomotives such as the BR 215 or electric locomotives such as the BR 140. A must-have for anyone who values historical accuracy.
