Product Features and Details
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) type Uai 839 heavy transport car. Built in 1973. Era IV. Use: Very heavy, specialized transport.
Model: The car has 32 axles, "Schnabel" load arms, and a die-cast metal transformer as a load. The car has many separately applied details. The load arms can be coupled directly to one another without a load. The car has close coupler mechanisms at the ends. Length over the buffers 391 mm / 15-3/8".
Notes about operation: This car can be used on curves with a radius of R1 194.6 mm / 7-11/16" or greater; we recommend larger curves. Signals, catenary, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc. must be mounted far enough from curves due to the overhang of the long the "Schnabel" load arms. Your track must be mounted sturdily in place for the considerable weight of this car.
