Details

The Roco 6600245 is a highly detailed H0 scale freight wagon set featuring two 2-axle tank wagons of type Zs-w, operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). Representing Era IV operation, this newly tooled model brings one of the classic DR tank wagon designs to H0 scale for the first time, making it an essential addition for modellers of East German and industrial freight traffic.

Each wagon is faithfully reproduced with prototypical tank construction and fine detailing, reflecting their use in transporting mineral oil and hazardous liquid goods across the DR network. The set offers excellent authenticity for bulk freight operations and is ideal for creating realistic mid-to-late 20th century freight formations.

The models are equipped with NEM 362 coupling pockets and close coupling kinematics, ensuring smooth and reliable running on modern H0 layouts. With a total length over buffers of 236 mm, the set integrates seamlessly into H0 2-rail DC systems and can be adapted for AC operation with appropriate wheelsets.

As a 2026 new release, this set combines modern tooling with a historically significant prototype, making it ideal for both collectors and layout operators focusing on DR freight operations.
