Trix 24428 H0 Pair of Laads Flat Cars, TWA, Ep. V: Modern Freight Cars for Transporting Vehicles

The Trix 24428 H0 Laads flat car pair is an impressive model of the Laads 800B flat car from Transwaggon GmbH, Hamburg. With its red-brown basic paint scheme, precise workmanship, and attractive load, this car set is a perfect addition to modern Era V freight trains. These cars are especially well suited for transporting vehicles and fit seamlessly into the operations from 2005.

The prototype: Laads 800B flat car

The Laads 800B type flat wagons are specially designed for transporting vehicles. They are operated by Transwaggon GmbH, a leading provider of freight wagon solutions in Europe. These pairs of wagons are equipped with continuous run-over plates and holding wedges to ensure the safe transportation of vehicles. With their robust construction and ability to carry heavy loads, they are indispensable in modern rail freight transport.

High-quality workmanship and a wealth of detail

The model of the Trix 24428 pair of flat cars is characterized by exceptional workmanship. Both halves of the car are made mostly of metal and have numerous separately applied details, including brake lines, air tanks, run-over plates, steps and brake linkage. These features give the model a high degree of authenticity and make it an eye-catcher on any layout.

Attractive load

A special highlight of the Trix 24428 set is the attractive load of four VW Crafter models from Schuco. These miniature vehicles are reproduced in great detail and are a perfect match for modern Era V. The combination of the realistically designed flat cars and the high-quality load provides an authentic overall appearance.

Technology and equipment

The cars are equipped with a kinematic-guided, rigid screw coupling between the car halves, which allows prototypical coupling. The buffer height complies with the NEM standards, making the wagons compatible with other H0 models. Separately attachable parts such as retaining wedges and brake hoses are included in the set to further increase the level of detail. With a length over buffers of 32.4 cm and compatibility with a minimum radius of 360 mm, the wagons are suitable for both large and small model railway layouts.

Expansion options

Another pair of flat cars with a different car number and load is available in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 47430. It offers additional options for designing realistic block trains and is an ideal addition to this set. The use of interchangeable wheel sets makes it possible to use them on 2-conductor DC layouts.
