With its detailed reproduction and high-quality workmanship, this freight car enriches every TT model railroad layout and offers insights into modern freight traffic of the 1990s.

The prototype of the Tillig Tms 858 sliding roof/sliding wall car

In Era V (1990-2006), the Deutsche Bahn AG used the Tms 858 sliding roof/sliding wall car for the transportation of weather-sensitive bulk goods. These wagons are characterized by their special design, in which both the roof and the side walls can be moved. This enables flexible loading from above and from the side, which is particularly advantageous for goods such as grain, sugar or other sensitive bulk goods.

The innovative design of the Tms 858 makes loading and unloading much easier and protects the load from the weather. The ability to fully open the roof allows fast loading with conveyor belts or silos, while the sliding side walls provide easy access for unloading. This flexibility made the Tms 858 an indispensable part of the DB AG freight wagon fleet in Era V.

Era V: Railway reform and modernization

Era V was characterized by the railroad reform and the founding of Deutsche Bahn AG in 1994, during which time numerous modernization measures were carried out to make rail transport more competitive. This also included the introduction of new and optimized freight cars such as the Tms 858, which met the increased requirements of freight transport and impressed with their efficiency and flexibility.
