Prototype: Privately owned car lettered for the firm Thyssen Krupp Stahl, used on the German Railroad, Inc. (DB AG). Special car for transporting hot, molten crude iron. Model: The torpedo and the truck bridge assemblies are constructed of metal. The car has a built-in digital decoder, a mechanism for turning the torpedo, and a glowing light for the interior of the torpedo. The torpedo can be controlled from a locomotive controller to turn to the right or the left. The adjustable delay or direct control can be controlled digitally. The glow of the crude iron comes from maintenance-free LED’s that are conventionally operated and that can be controlled digitally. The cover for the upper opening on the torpedo can be removed from the car. The handrails are finely reproduced. Dimensions: Length over buffers 39.0 cm / 15-3/8". - One-time series. Charlie's Tip: This car has a digital decoder to control the rotation and the glow of the crude iron, a pretty neat feature.
