Description

Tillig 18225 DB Open Freight Car, Era IV – highly detailed TT model in 1:120 scale

The Tillig 18225 Eaos 106 open freight car from the Deutsche Bundesbahn brings realistic Era IV freight traffic to your model railroad layout. The 1:120 scale model impresses with its precise construction, finely detailed paintwork, and razor-sharp decals. This makes it a valuable addition to any TT layout, whether for active operation or for collectors.

Prototype-accurate model with authentic design

The Eaos 106 open freight car is one of the typical car types that were in service in the Federal Republic of Germany starting in the 1970s. With its open design, it was primarily used for transporting bulk goods such as scrap metal, coal, or wood. Tillig reproduces this car type with high accuracy, thereby conveying a realistic picture of freight transport on the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

Technical Features for Safe Operation

With a length over buffers (LOB) of 117 mm, the car fits seamlessly into existing TT train sets. The coupler mount and close-coupling kinematics ensure a reliable connection and stable handling even on challenging track layouts. Thanks to its TT scale with a 12 mm gauge, the model is optimally tailored to this scale and compatible with common systems.

Era IV – Everyday Life on the Bundesbahn in the 1970s and 1980s

The model is classified as Era IV, which covers the period from 1970 to 1990. This era was characterized by rising transport volumes and increased use of modern freight cars. With the Tillig 18225, you can recreate authentic DB freight trains that reflect the economic boom of those years.

Ideal addition to TT-scale freight trains

Whether combined with other open freight cars or mixed freight trains—the Tillig 18225 is a versatile addition for realistic scenes depicting Epoch IV rail traffic. Both collectors and active model railroaders benefit from the successful blend of historical authenticity, attention to detail, and operational reliability.
