Roco 6200131 H0 DR Branch Line Train Set 2: 2x 2nd Class Passenger Coach Bip and 1x 2nd Class Compartment Coach B3

This Roco H0 set captures the distinctive character of East German branch line passenger service with a trio of 2nd class coaches: two open-plan Bip coaches and one compartment B3 coach, all finished in the authentic green livery of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Unlike typical coach packs that repeat a single design, this set mixes coach types to reflect real DR branch line consists, giving your layout instant operational variety.

Highlights

• Three coaches: two Bip 2nd class open coaches and one B3 2nd class compartment coach
• Authentic Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) green livery, Era IV
• Detailed chassis and body with clear plastic windows
• NEM 362 coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics for realistic spacing
• Prepared for optional interior lighting

In daily use

These coaches are designed for 2-rail DC operation and will negotiate a minimum radius of R3 (419.6 mm), making them suitable for most branch line layouts. The close coupling mechanism keeps gaps between coaches to a minimum on straight track, while the detailed brake system and standard buffers add visual depth. The models are ready to run with standard NEM 362 couplings.
