Trix 24178 H0 Tank Car, DB, Era III Product Details
Trix 24178 H0 Tank Car, DB, Era III
Are you looking for a classic tank car for your H0 layout that authentically complements the historic mineral oil transport operations of the Deutsche Bundesbahn? The Trix 24178 tank car depicts a car belonging to Benzin und Petroleum Aktiengesellschaft Hamburg (BP), registered with the Deutsche Bundesbahn, and is ideal for freight trains, tank farms, and industrial sidings in Era III.
The prototype is a tank car with two wheel sets and a riveted tank. The version with a brakeman’s platform and brakeman’s cab corresponds to the operational condition of 1957 and brings a characteristic vehicle from classic freight transport to the model railroad.
Historic BP Tank Car of the German Federal Railroad
The model impresses with a detailed undercarriage featuring an open-frame design. The separately attached and finely reproduced braking system, along with other technical details, ensures a particularly realistic appearance in H0 operation.
The handbrake crank, discharge pipes, and work platform with access ladder are rendered in fine detail. The attached brakeman’s platform with brakeman’s cab underscores the car’s historical design.
Fine details for classic freight trains
With slide-guided close couplers and a length over buffers of approximately 10.1 cm, the car can be seamlessly integrated into historic freight train formations.
Get the Trix 24178 H0 DB Tank Car and expand your collection with a highly detailed private-owned tank car from Era III featuring the characteristic BP lettering.
