Catalogue information
Set includes: two wagons with tilting bodies with platform and two without, closed wagon and acid tank wagon. Types: dump trucks with platform F-v-51 (later Ommi 51) and without platform F-z-51 (later Ommi 51), closed wagon Gms 30 (formerly Gs "Oppeln"). Clutch: KK. In program: one-off 2011 (Insider model). Prototype: Sour truck is from VTG, Vereinigte Tanklager und Transportmittel GmbH, Hamburg. Operating condition around 1962. Between 1951 and 1970, the DB purchased a total of 3,905 of the wagons with Ommi 51 tipping bodies. They had already proven themselves at the Westfälischen Landeseisenbahn (WLE). They were given the type designation Ommi 51. Here "O" stands for open wagon with tipping or self-unloading device, "mm" for a payload of more than 21 tons, "i" for tipping bodies and "51" for the construction type number (new build wagons were given from 1951 numbers 50 to 99). The Ommi 51 had five bins that could be tilted to both sides, so that the load could be unloaded directly into road vehicles (e.g. trucks) or into bunkers and the like. The bins were made of welded steel and reinforced with hollow beams. The frame of the car consisted of a lattice construction of rolled steel and carried the horizontal roller tracks, over which the cradles fitted with guiding pins rolled from the boxes. The bins could be partially or completely unloaded. The bucket was secured in the selected tilting position for this purpose. After the backstop was released, the emptied bin rolled back to its normal position and locked again automatically. The mechanically well thought-out rolling procedure, in combination with the - otherwise less advantageous - high center of gravity of the bins made it possible to transfer the load directly into trucks without any aids. It could hardly be easier or faster. However, because the wagons showed a tendency to tip over during unloading, they had to be secured in advance with special rail clamps. Despite this, the dump truck was in great demand, especially for the transport of heavy shaking material such as sand, gravel, ballast and gravel. Design: wagons with tipping bodies have an open-work frame, separately mounted rail tongs and separately mounted tipping bodies. All cars have different company numbers. Tipping buckets loaded with real scale ballast. Type "Oppeln" boxcar with short undercarriage. Acid tank car with fine half-timbered braces. Separately mounted rail clamps on the base. Note: The set fits with steam locomotive BR 50.40 (Insider model 2011) and can be extended with set 46351. When purchasing both sets, you will receive a free baggage car cat. No. 46982.
