Busch 95279 Gauge H0 ESPEWE: IFA W50 LA 3SK (three-way tipper), apple green (DDR)

IFA W50 LA 3SK

The W50 was designed in over 70 basic variants with different structures. In addition to the flatbed vehicle, the tipper variant was the most widespread version from Ludwigsfelde and produced in the highest numbers. With the wide low-pressure tires, the off-road mobility has been noticeably increased. The W50 was suitable both for the new development areas, in which there were hardly any paved roads during the construction phase, and for difficult terrain. The completely apple-green color variant was a special paint job for the Leipzig Trade Fair at the time of reunification.

The dump truck body will continue to be used on the chassis of the W50 and L60 in the 2023 model year. In addition to vehicles from the fire brigade and the NVA, an L60 from VEB Minol follows. The focus this year is on models from the Auto Trans Berlin combine and its operating units, as well as the successor companies that continued to use the existing vehicles with new lettering after reunification. Of course, a few new variants of the Espewe replica models of the S4000 tank pumper should not be missing.
