Tillig 70087 H0 Set of 2 Refrigerated Cars Thrs, DR, Era III – Fresh Produce Logistics in the Early GDR on Two Axles

Are you looking for refrigerated cars to match your Era III layout with a GDR theme? The Tillig 70087 H0 Set of 2 Thrs Refrigerated Cars from the Deutsche Reichsbahn brings two typical examples of temperature-controlled freight transport from the 1950s and 1960s to your model railroad tracks. These cars were used for the safe transport of perishable goods such as meat, fish, or dairy products—and are faithfully reproduced in this model.

Typical DR—Functional refrigeration technology for sensitive goods

The Thrs refrigerated cars of Era III were equipped with insulation and ice cooling and were an integral part of the freight car fleet of the newly formed GDR. They were used to transport fresh goods over medium to long distances and were deployed in nearly all regions of the GDR. With this set of two, Tillig has reproduced two carefully lettered and intricately detailed models of this car series in 1:87 scale.

Double the transport capacity in a compact format

Both cars feature a NEM-compliant coupler mount and close-coupling kinematics, enabling safe and prototypical operation. With a combined length over buffers of 279 mm, they integrate perfectly into Era III freight trains—ideal for operational rail yards, transfer services, and classic freight trains carrying agricultural goods.

The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the detailed reproduction of the ventilation grilles, access steps, and door latches. The typical color scheme of the DR refrigerated cars underscores the historical impression—an unmistakable image of early GDR freight transport.

Versatile Applications on Your Layout

Whether as part of a refrigerated car train or a mixed freight train—these cars are highly versatile. They look particularly authentic in scenes featuring agricultural loading stations, urban fresh produce terminals, or in combination with typical DR steam locomotives from the 1950s and 1960s. They also add an authentic touch to museum trains on historic layouts.

A must-have for fans of Era III and GDR freight trains

With the Tillig 70087 Set of 2 Thrs Refrigerated Cars, you get two high-quality models that impress both visually and technically.
