DR Omu Open Wagon Set (2) III

DR Omu Open Wagon Set (2) III

Model

Set of Two 1:87 Scale models produced by Roco. These models are ready to run and will make a great addition to any model railway collection.

Model Features

• 1:87 Scale Model
• Prototype-based DR Omm 12 open goods wagons used in Era III freight operations (1950s–1960s)
• Highly detailed construction with pressed steel side walls and finely reproduced underframe components
• Includes two variants: one wagon with brakeman’s cab and one without for prototypical realism
• H0 scale (1:87) set with 226 mm total length over buffers, fitted with NEM 362 couplings and close coupling kinematics
• This model is best suited to 422mm radius curves
• This model is fitted with NEM style couplings

Details

The Roco 6600253 is a highly detailed H0 scale freight wagon set featuring two open goods wagons of type Omm 12 operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). Representing Era III operation, this set reflects typical East German freight traffic from the 1950s and 1960s, where open high-sided wagons were widely used for transporting bulk goods such as coal, scrap metal, timber, and industrial materials.

The wagons are finely modelled with prototypical pressed steel side walls, detailed underframes, and separately applied components that enhance realism. One wagon is fitted with a brakeman’s cab, while the second wagon is supplied without one, providing prototypical variation within the set. This mix accurately reflects real-world DR freight compositions used in everyday service.

Each wagon is equipped with NEM 362 coupling pockets and close coupling kinematics for smooth operation and reliable running on H0 2-rail DC systems. With a total length over buffers of 226 mm, the set is ideal for compact layouts while still offering strong visual impact in freight formations.

This set is especially suitable for modellers focusing on Deutsche Reichsbahn Era III operations, East German freight traffic, or mixed industrial goods trains.
