DBAG IR2184 Nordpfeil Coach Set 3 (2) V

Details

Complete the iconic InterRegio 2184 "Nordpfeil" with the Roco 6200290 Coach Set 3, a highly detailed H0 gauge (1:87 scale) two-coach set representing the rear portion of one of Deutsche Bahn's most celebrated international passenger trains of the 1990s.

This set includes a Bimz 264.1 Second Class Open Coach and a Bimdz 268.2 Second Class Open Coach with Bicycle Compartment, both finished in the instantly recognisable Deutsche Bahn InterRegio blue and white livery. Accurately modelled with destination boards for the prestigious Hannover–Frederikshavn service, these coaches capture the appearance of the Nordpfeil during the golden age of European InterRegio operations.

As with the prototype vehicles, the coaches feature markings for international operation and are decorated to match the train's Danish-bound section. The inclusion of a dedicated bicycle coach reflects the growing popularity of cycle tourism and regional travel during the InterRegio era, adding further operational authenticity to your train formation.

Built to Roco's renowned standards, both coaches feature finely reproduced lettering, detailed interiors, flush glazing, close-coupling mechanisms and NEM 362 coupler pockets. Combined with Sets 1 and 2, the Roco 6200290 allows modellers to recreate a prototypically accurate formation of the famous Nordpfeil service.

Historical Background

The Nordpfeil ("Northern Arrow") was one of the most important international passenger trains linking Germany and Denmark during the late twentieth century. Originally established as a prestigious express service, it later became part of Deutsche Bahn's successful InterRegio network, operating as IR 2184 between Hannover and Frederikshavn.

The route passed through Hamburg and Flensburg before crossing into Denmark, continuing via Fredericia and Aarhus to the northern ferry port of Frederikshavn. The service provided an important connection between Germany and Scandinavia, carrying both holidaymakers and business travellers.

During the 1990s, InterRegio trains represented a comfortable and affordable alternative to InterCity services. Their distinctive blue livery became synonymous with long-distance regional travel across Germany. Bicycle-carrying coaches, such as the Bimdz included in this set, reflected changing travel habits and helped make rail travel more accessible for cyclists exploring destinations across northern Germany and Denmark.

For railway enthusiasts and H0 gauge modellers, the Nordpfeil remains one of the most memorable international InterRegio services, making the Roco 6200290 an essential addition to any Epoch V passenger train collection.
