0542.04 - MFDrail/RCW T3000e “Kolowag” in granite-gray with four side latches

From the T5 to the T3000e – The Evolution of the Pocket Trailer

The T5 marked the beginning of a new generation of high-performance flatbed trailers for combined transport. The ever-increasing demands for flexibility, transport capacity, and cost-effectiveness led to the further development of the proven design into the T3000e.

As a modern dual-compartment trailer, the T3000e enables the efficient transport of semi-trailers and containers. Its versatility makes it an important part of today's European freight transport.

Features of the model:

• Solid design made of die-cast zinc with an empty weight of 125g and high-quality paintwork
• The bottom of the bag is made with the help of an inserted etched sheet in order to be able to create the lowest possible bag. This means that the tires of, for example, mega trailers disappear true to the original in the bag. In addition, this implementation enables a representation of the inside double-T profile of the stiffening frame. Additional "goodie": This also means that the six rain drainage holes are reproduced true to the original, which are particularly effective when the bag wagon is driven alone.
• Clear view of the bogie, which is also modelled in this area with, for example, a brake cylinder. Brake shoes are specially attached to all bogies.
• Elaborate wagon printing on the top, the side walls and also the bogies. All printing is done using pad printing.
• Functional folding latches in vehicle color. They can either be folded up to support a container or mounted hanging down in the outside position. Depending on the container weight and mounting position, a drop of superglue may be required for securing. The folding latches are designed to be as delicate as the original with wall thicknesses of well under 1mm.
• Folding latches are fitted with a container pin at the factory and can be exchanged for the enclosed folding latches with a hole (e.g. Märklin) for containers in accordance with NEM380.
• Shunting handle included as an accessory in either a folded or upright position
• Support stand in two versions. True to the original version for solo trips and (tank) container loading and universal support stand for typical kingpins of model trailers of various makes.
• Close coupling guide with return spring and NEM 362 shaft
• Real loading of truck trailers as well as up to two 20ft, one 20ft in combination with a 30ft and solo with a 20ft, 30ft, 40ft or 45ft container possible.
• Distance from the top edge of the rail (SoK) to the bottom edge of the bearing pocket: approx. 3 mm. Distance from the top edge of the rail (SoK) to the top edge of the floor plate in the saddle pocket: approx. 3.4 mm.
• Length over all (LOA): approx. 39.3 mm
• Wheel sets for Märklin alternating current (AC), direct current (DC) and direct current (RP25) available
