Trix 24182 H0 Car Set Falns 182, DB AG, Ep. VI: Modern Freight Cars for Transporting Bulk Goods

The Trix 24182 H0 Falns 182 car set brings six large open self-unloading cars from the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG) to your model railroad layout. These modern Era VI freight cars are ideal for transporting bulk freight that is not sensitive to moisture, such as coal, ore, or gravel. With their red-brown basic paint scheme, the detailed designs and loaded with real coal, they are a realistic highlight on your layout.

The prototype: Falns 182 - workhorses of modern freight transportation

The Falns 182 self-unloading wagons have been an essential part of bulk goods transportation in Europe for many years. With their high loading capacity and robust bogies of type 665, they are ideal for long and heavy transports. They are used by Deutsche Bahn AG in large block trains that transport bulk goods such as coal or ore to power plants, ports or industrial operations. The set shows the operating condition of the wagons around 2015, including the authentic red-brown paintwork and prototypical details such as transition platforms and hand brakes.

Outstanding workmanship and prototypical details

The models in the Trix 24182 set are characterized by their true-to-scale and detailed reproduction. Each model is individually designed and has many separately applied parts. Special attention was paid to authenticity: The wagons have no step-up holes or step-up handles on the long sides of the wagons, which corresponds to the prototype. Three of the wagons are equipped with hand brakes, while the other three are without hand brakes. The enclosed load inserts with real coal provide a realistic look.

Design and technology

The red-brown paintwork and the prototypical lettering underline the modern character of the wagons. The detailed running gear and the type 665 bogies ensure high stability and load capacity. All of the cars have NEM coupling shafts with KK kinematics, which allows for realistic car spacing. The buffer height is designed in accordance with NEM standards and the wagons are suitable for a minimum radius of 360 mm, making them perfect for smaller layouts.

Typical applications

The cars in the Trix 24182 set can be used in a variety of ways. They are ideal for depicting modern block trains as seen on European main lines in Era VI. In combination with suitable locomotives such as the class 185 or other modern freight locomotives, a realistic picture of today's rail freight traffic is created.
