Are you looking for a classic DB refrigerated car to add to the realistic freight trains on your H0 layout?

With the Tillig 79604 H0 “Transthermos/Palm” refrigerated car, you’ll receive a faithful replica of a historic Deutsche Bundesbahn refrigerated car from Era III. This car was used as part of the Transthermos refrigerated transport service and brings authentic freight train scenes—featuring the transport of temperature-sensitive goods—to your 1:87-scale model railroad.

Based on a DB refrigerated transport prototype

The refrigerated car represents a typical prototype from the Deutsche Bundesbahn’s postwar refrigerated freight service. Cars of this type were an important part of the infrastructure for transporting perishable goods via the rail network and remained in service well into the 1970s.

Highly detailed H0 model with realistic lettering

The model impresses with its fine printing, true-to-original colors, and realistic design language typical of Transthermos refrigerated cars. The intricate details and the precise depiction of the superstructures give the car an authentic look when part of a train set and enhance any freight train ensemble.

Scale and Technical Details

The car is built to H0 scale (1:87) and equipped with AC wheel sets for AC operation, allowing it to be easily integrated into Märklin-compatible layouts. With a length over buffers of approximately 136 mm, the car is ideal for depicting realistic train lengths while still fitting compactly into any freight train.

Perfect for Era III freight trains

Whether in a mixed freight train, as part of a refrigerated car train, or in combination with other Era III DB cars—this refrigerated car adds authenticity and depth of detail to your layout.
