Details

The Roco 6600267 is a highly detailed H0 scale freight wagon set featuring two open goods wagons of type Om 12, operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB). Representing Era III operation, this set depicts classic post-war German freight traffic, where open wagons were widely used for transporting bulk materials such as coal, scrap metal, timber, and industrial goods.

The set includes two prototypically different wagons, one fitted with a brakeman’s cab and one without, reflecting real-world operational variety within DB freight consists. This combination adds authenticity and visual interest to mixed goods trains, shunting yards, and branch line freight operations of the 1950s and 1960s.

Each wagon features finely detailed pressed steel side walls, realistic underframes, and authentic DB lettering. The robust construction captures the utilitarian appearance of mid-century German freight stock, making it ideal for historically accurate Era III layouts.

For reliable operation, both wagons are fitted with NEM 362 coupling pockets and close coupling kinematics, ensuring smooth running on H0 2-rail DC systems. With a length over buffers of 226 mm, the set is well suited for compact layouts while still providing strong visual presence in short freight formations or industrial shunting scenes.

This set is an excellent choice for modellers focusing on Deutsche Bundesbahn Era III operations, classic European freight traffic, or mixed industrial goods trains.
