Tillig 75008 H0 "ASFP Magdeburg" radio measuring car, DR, Ep. V: An exclusive highlight of railroad technology

The Tillig 75008 H0 "ASFP Magdeburg" radio measuring car is a one-time edition for 2025 and a detailed model of a special railroad service car of the German State Railroad (DR) from Era V. This extraordinary radio measuring car was used to check and maintain radio and signal systems along the railroad lines and symbolizes the technological development and maintenance strategy of the DR in a transitional phase towards modern railroad technology.

The prototype: The "ASFP Magdeburg" radio measuring car

The "ASFP Magdeburg" radio measuring car was an important part of the railroad infrastructure and was used to check radio frequencies, signals and communication systems. Equipped with modern measurement technology, it made it possible to quickly identify and rectify technical problems in the rail network. The vehicle was specially designed to localize radio interference or faulty signals and thus ensure safe and smooth rail operations.

The marking "ASFP" refers to the responsible department for radio testing at the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The car was stationed at the Magdeburg depot and was used on important lines and at junctions throughout Germany.

The German Reichsbahn in Era V

In Era V, which began after 1990, the Deutsche Reichsbahn was in a transitional phase before it was fully integrated into Deutsche Bahn AG. The DR modernized numerous vehicles and continued to rely on special service cars to ensure the functionality of the rail network. Radio measuring cars such as the "ASFP Magdeburg" played a decisive role in the continuous maintenance and improvement of the infrastructure and contributed to the safety of rail traffic.

Tillig - Precision and attention to detail

The Tillig 75008 radio measuring car impresses with its precise design and numerous fine details. The smooth side walls of the car have engravings and precisely applied lettering that correspond exactly to the prototype. The special paintwork and the technical equipment, such as antenna and measurement technology components on the roof, make the model a real eye-catcher.

The roof of the model has a detailed design and is equipped with various ventilation and antenna elements, which emphasize the characteristic appearance of the car. The underbody of the model has also been carefully reproduced and features brake systems and other technical details.

Technical details and coupling system

The model has a length over buffers (LüP) of 282 mm and is equipped with an NEM coupling shaft and close coupling kinematics. These ensure realistic coupling in the train formation and a prototypical distance between the wagons. The robust running gear ensures stable running, even on tight radii from 360 mm.

The radio measuring car is designed for operation on direct current systems and can easily be combined with other measuring or service cars to represent realistic maintenance trains.

Color design and true-to-original lettering

The model is painted in the typical DR livery from Era V. The precisely applied road numbers and technical markings give the car a high degree of authenticity. The clean finish of the paintwork and the fine details make the radio measuring car a visual highlight on any H0 layout.

Care and maintenance

To ensure that the model works reliably in the long term, it should be maintained regularly. The wheels and current collectors should be cleaned at regular intervals to ensure optimum current consumption. The couplings and running gear should also be checked to ensure trouble-free operation.

Conclusion: An exclusive model for technology and railroad fans

The Tillig 75008 H0 "ASFP Magdeburg" radio measuring car is the perfect choice for model railroaders who want to add a special service and measuring car to their train set. With its detailed design, true-to-original lettering and technical details, this model provides a realistic and varied playing experience. Whether as part of a maintenance train or in combination with other service cars - this radio measuring car will be a highlight on any layout.
