Model Details

Add authentic fuel distribution traffic to your HO scale model railway with the Viessmann 8131 CarMotion Magirus Deutz Shell Tanker Truck. Finished in the iconic Shell livery, this highly detailed functional model is based on the classic Magirus Deutz 230 D 16 tanker and is perfect for fuel depots, industrial facilities, freight terminals, service stations, ports, and road-to-rail logistics scenes. Its distinctive tanker body makes it an eye-catching addition to both historic and modern-era layouts.

Part of the innovative CarMotion range, this self-propelled HO scale vehicle combines realistic driving behaviour with advanced infrared control technology. The underfloor drive system preserves the model’s detailed appearance while delivering smooth and reliable operation. Featuring realistic acceleration and braking, configurable speeds, and a full range of vehicle lighting functions, this tanker brings dynamic road transport realism to any layout.

The model is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery providing approximately 4–6 hours of operation under normal running conditions and around 2 hours at maximum speed. Additional functions include cab lighting, brake lights, reversing lights, indicators, hazard warning lights, dipped and main beam headlights, and a visible driver figure. A 5-pole plug-in coupling allows connection to compatible CarMotion trailers and semi-trailers. The vehicle can be operated using infrared control, magnetic tape guidance, contact wire systems, permanent magnets, and electromagnetic stop coils. Convenient magnetic reed-switch operation enables easy switching on and off, while short-distance reversing is possible without mechanical guidance. An optional sound upgrade is available using sound module 8450.
