Description

TT R-Class Tank Car “Mleko” of the CSD – Tillig 95361 for Era III

A piece of Eastern European railroad history for your layout: The Tillig 95361 R tank car from the Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD), featuring the distinctive “Mleko” lettering, brings the authentic atmosphere and functionality of Era III to your TT model railroad. Between 1949 and 1970, railways in both the East and West developed independently—this car represents the infrastructure of that era and the beginning of structural changes in freight transport.

Design & Workmanship

This compact tank car impresses with its detailed design and the eye-catching “Mleko” lettering, which indicates its use in transporting milk. The white paint finish with black lettering is a real eye-catcher in a train formation. Delicate railings, steps, and handrails underscore the model’s intricate design.

Technical Features & Highlights

Special-Purpose Car with Character

Thanks to its short design, the car is ideally suited for smaller layouts and tight curves. The close-coupling mechanism enables reliable train formations without excessive car spacing—ideal for realistic shunting scenes and short freight trains of Era III.

Eastern European Charm

Compatibility & Expansion Options

The car is compatible with all standard TT track systems and can be ideally combined with other tank cars or freight cars from Era III. It looks particularly authentic in mixed trains with locomotives from the Eastern Bloc or in scenarios featuring GDR industrial facilities.
