Roco 6600237 – 2-piece set: Silo wagons type Uacs (Raj) for cement transport, CD / Českomoravský cement

Add an unmistakable and legendary piece of Central European railway history to your freight car fleet. This finely detailed 2-piece set of four-axle silo wagons, type Uacs (traditionally known as "Raj"), in H0 scale (1:87) by Roco, perfectly replicates the wagons owned by the prominent building materials company Českomoravský cement and operated by the Czech Railways (ČD) during Era V.

With their distinct silhouette featuring four separate vertical pressure tanks, the "Raj" type silo wagons have formed the backbone of bulk powder logistics – specifically cement and lime – in the region since the late 1950s. These models capture the exact operational look of private "P" cars integrated into national rail transport. The set is an excellent choice for assembling long, highly authentic industrial block trains running from cement plants to regional construction distribution hubs.

Key Features and Technical Highlights:
• Prototypical Central European Design: Masterfully crafted replicas of the iconic Czech "Raj" cement silo cars in official Českomoravský cement livery.
• Individual Running Numbers: The package contains two separate wagons, each with distinct and unique running numbers to prevent duplication on your tracks.
• Exquisite Detailing: Equipped with numerous separately applied factory-fitted parts, including free-standing handrails, intricate discharge pipes, and scale brake equipment.
• Openwork Engineering: Features finely etched, transparent openwork design on upper walkways and ladders for a realistic look.
• Smooth Running Characteristics: Precision-engineered chassis ensures outstanding stability and running performance even in heavy manifest lines.
• Coupler System: Built-in standard NEM 362 pockets with close coupling kinematics.
• Convertible to AC: Ready for standard 2-rail systems, with optional AC wheelsets available separately for 3-rail layouts (Roco item no. 40196).

This Roco silo wagon set is a must-have expansion for model railroaders focusing on authentic Czech and Slovak industrial freight traffic from the 1990s onward.
