Lenz 42110-20 0 Om12 High-Side Freight Car, DB, Era III – A Versatile Freight Car for Everyday Service on the Federal Railways

Are you looking for an authentic high-sided freight car for your Era III freight trains in 0 gauge? The Lenz 42110-20 Om12 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn brings a piece of freight transport history from the 1950s and 60s to your layout—with true-to-life appearance, prototypical functions, and robust construction.

Typical DB – the classic of open freight transport

With road number 711 540, this car represents the backbone of freight transport at that time. The Om12 type was used in a variety of applications—from coal to scrap transport—and could be found on almost all routes. Thanks to its opening features, the model is perfect for realistic loading scenarios and shunting operations.

Faithful to detail and designed for practical use

The car features functional, opening doors and a finely detailed sidewall structure. With a length over buffers of 207 mm, it is compact enough for smaller yard stations but large enough for impressive train sets. The spring buffers, metal wheel sets, and close-coupling mechanism ensure reliable and prototypical running characteristics.

Flexibility through sophisticated technology

Thanks to the NEM slot, the Om12 can be easily integrated into any 0-gauge layout. Those who place particular value on visual prototypical accuracy can also retrofit a screw coupling. The movable doors invite interactive operation—ideal for layouts with loading points, crane scenes, or realistic shunting play.

A must-have for Era III freight trains

The Lenz Om12 is an ideal car for all model railroading enthusiasts who wish to historically accurately recreate the freight traffic of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. Whether as a single car or in combination with other high-sided and covered freight cars, this model impresses with its suitability for everyday use, rich detail, and technical sophistication.
