Trix 24170 H0 Tank Car Set, DB, Era III: Authentic Freight Cars of the Post-War Era

The Trix 24170 H0 Tank Car Set takes model railroad fans back to Era III of the German Federal Railroad (1950-1959). This set includes six different tank cars with riveted boilers and a capacity of 19.2 m³. With precise attention to detail and a variety of authentic features, this model is an indispensable highlight for historic freight train compositions.

The prototype: Era III freight traffic

In the post-war period, during Era III, freight traffic played a central role in the reconstruction of Germany. Tank cars transported vital liquids such as oil, chemicals or other supplies at that time. The Trix 24170 set reflects this time with six cars from different operators, including BP, DEA, EVA, H0BUM, BOLTE, and a German Federal Railroad (DB) tank car for freight. Four wagons are without a brakeman's cab and two with a brakeman's cab, which underlines the variety and authenticity of the set.

Perfection in every detail

The models in the Trix 24170 tank car set impress with their detailed design. From the riveted boilers to the intricate brakeman's platforms and hand brake cranks, everything has been designed with the greatest care. Different road numbers and lettering emphasize the individuality of each car and allow authentic train compositions. The separately applied components such as railings, signal supports, discharge pipes and working platforms are particularly impressive.

Design and color scheme

Each tank wagon in the set bears the colors and logos of its respective owners, including BP, DEA and other well-known companies of Era III. This careful reproduction of the paintwork and lettering makes the set a visual highlight. The riveted boilers and the realistically designed brakeman's cabs enhance the authentic appearance of the models.

Technology and equipment

The tank wagons are equipped with a close coupler system guided by a linkage, which ensures a realistic coupling pattern and close wagon spacing. The detailed chassis with openwork frame and the fine reproductions of the brake systems ensure a prototypical overall impression. The wagons are designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm and are therefore also suitable for smaller layouts. Each wagon is supplied individually packed in a marked cardboard box to ensure maximum safety during transportation and storage.

Areas of application and expansion options

The Trix 24170 tank car set is ideally suited for use in Era III freight trains. It can be perfectly combined with other freight cars, locomotives, and accessories from the Trix assortment to create realistic train compositions. The cars go very well with steam locomotives and early German Federal Railroad diesel locomotives.
