Pre-Order

The LGB RhB Self Unloading Wagon Ep VI (HC-L46696) is a detailed model of a type Fac dump car used by the Rhaetian Railroad. Finished with prototypical Era VI paint and lettering, it captures the look and operation of the real self-unloading wagons employed for construction materials and track ballast.

On the prototype, open freight cars with gravity unloading are used to move bulk loads such as gravel and sand. For unloading, hatches on the underside are opened and the load slides down the chutes to distribute material efficiently along the track. The RhB operates various versions of these cars, and this model reflects that practice with functional details that bring realistic operation to your layout.

Such cars are also used in track construction to distribute ballast over the track. The hatches arranged on the underside are simply opened for unloading, and the load slides out down the chutes. The RhB also uses various versions of such cars. This a model of a type Fac dump car for the Rhaetian Railroad. The paint and lettering are prototypical for Era VI.
