00516.02 HUPAC Mega II double pocket wagon (Sk+Ct) with 50 years of HUPAC logo - 83 85 4933 313-9 - Rev. 04/17

Features of the model:

• A clear view of the bogie, modelled in detail in this area, true to the prototype.
• Intricate carriage livery on the top, the side panels and also the bogies. All livery is applied using pad printing.
• Folding latches and container mounts in yellow, fully functional. The folding latches can either be folded in to support a container or mounted in the outer position, hanging down as per the prototype. Depending on the container’s weight and the mounting position, a drop of superglue may be required to secure them. The folding latches are delicately crafted in keeping with the prototype, with wall thicknesses of 1 mm.
• Folding bolts fitted with container pins as standard and can be replaced with the enclosed folding bolts featuring a hole for containers to NEM380 (e.g. Märklin).
• Support trestle with coupling plates in various heights included. Prototype-accurate version for solo runs and (tank) container loading, and a universal coupling plate for typical kingpins on model lorry trailers of various makes. The support stand and saddle plate can be fixed in any position along the longitudinal axis using adhesive. The mounting position depends on the model of lorry trailer used.
• Intricately reproduced wiring harnesses made from spring steel wire, some of which feature multiple bends.
• Short-coupling slide guide with return spring and NEM 362 shaft at the outer ends of the carriage. Fixed coupling between the two halves of the carriage. Various coupling lengths are included for display cabinet assembly and model railway use.
• The coupling mount can be swapped for a fully enclosed version for display cases or at the rear of the train. This also replicates the pressure vessel of the original.
• Actual loading of lorry trailers, as well as up to two 20-foot containers, one 20-foot container in combination with a 30-foot container, or a single 20-foot, 30-foot, 40-foot or 45-foot container is possible.
• Minimum negotiable radius of 360mm. To ensure optimum running performance, ensure the track is clean and free from kinks, both vertically and horizontally.
• Length over buffers (LüP): approx. 425–428 mm (depending on the coupling rod used)
• Small wheel diameters true to the prototype. Wheel sets are black nickel-plated
