The Arnold HN6711 set brings together two two-axle sliding tarpaulin wagons of the Lis type in Transfesa's most recent livery: oxide and grey tones with the operator's modern logo. A pair of units that, in N scale, let you start building or expanding a RENFE freight consist faithful to the period between 1991 and 2006.
Lis type wagons in Epoch V
The Lis type was a regular presence in Spanish network freight trains for decades. In this set, Arnold reproduces the sliding tarpaulin variant in the Transfesa Epoch V livery, finished in oxide and grey with the company's modern logo. The total length of the set is 172 mm, with a minimum running radius of 192 mm, making both wagons compatible with N scale layouts without the need for large-radius curves.
Kinematic coupler and reference details
Both wagons feature a kinematic short-circuit coupler, the standard system in the Arnold N scale range, which makes it easy to connect them to other rolling stock of the same scale. These are non-motorised, non-illuminated units with no flywheel, designed exclusively as hauled freight within a consist.
Role within a freight consist
On an Epoch V layout, these two wagons add visual continuity to any freight train headed by a RENFE locomotive from the same period. Placed in sequence with other freight cars, they help the consist gain length and coherence without breaking the atmosphere of Spanish railways in the nineties and early two thousands. They also work well as a starting point for anyone looking to build up a freight consist gradually.
