Boerman - Art.No. 0006-0052 -HSB FIRE WATER TRUCK

The model represents the HSB tank wagons in their current version. Much emphasis was placed on the precise implementation in the model.  We have recreated the car at a scale of 1:22.5. The model is made of high-quality plastic and complies with the valid Gauge II standards.  It is equipped with stainless steel tires and ball bearing axles ensure the best driving characteristics. The buffers and the axles are sprung.  The model can be retrofitted with prototypical screw couplings (item no. 0006-0105).  The model was developed as a load for our trolleys (e.g. item no. 0005-0201 and 0005-0301), so that you can completely reproduce the traffic of the trolleys in the model. You can get the appropriate rolling trestle pit under item no. 0005-0001.  We recommend using this model on curved tracks with a minimum radius of 120 cm.  
EXAMPLE There are many types of cargo that can be transported by rail. Liquids are transported using so-called tank cars, and these liquid goods
 come in many varieties - from crude oil to gasoline and from fat to water. By the mid-20th century there was an enormous variety
 of tank cars, as many companies had their own "private" cars built to their specific requirements.  Today, two-axle tank cars are no longer so common. Three examples have survived on the Harz narrow-gauge railways, all of which are 
different and whose origins are largely unclear. These three wagons now serve as water storage facilities for fighting forest fires and
 have been extensively adapted for this purpose. The HSB has repainted the cars red and they are kept on trolleys at selected train stations.
