Description

Roco 6200138 — D-Zugw. 3. Kl. DRG BA28

The Bauart 1928 series of express train coaches represented a milestone in German railway history, marking the transition of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) toward all-steel construction (Ganzstahlwagen). Designated as C4ü-28 for third-class service, these heavy-duty carriages were designed to offer superior safety and durability compared to their wooden-bodied predecessors. Operating during the interwar Era II (Epoch II), these ‘Standard-design’ (Einheitswagen) coaches were the backbone of the German long-distance D-Zug network, frequently seen crossing major transit hubs such as Berlin, Munich, and Cologne behind iconic steam locomotives like the BR 01 or BR 03.

This Roco HO scale model (1:87) is a precise replica of the C4ü-28, featuring an accurately modeled riveted steel body and authentic DRG livery. The execution includes a highly detailed chassis with prototypical underbody equipment and finely cast bogies. For seamless operation, the model is equipped with NEM 362 coupler pockets and a close-coupling mechanism (KK-Kinematik). The interior is fully detailed to reflect the third-class compartment layout, and the coach is pre-wired to facilitate the retrofitting of interior lighting systems. Fine-scale paintwork and razor-sharp lettering ensure an authentic appearance for collectors focusing on high-end European express train formations.
