Lenz 42110-21 0 High-sided Freight Car Om12, DRG, Era II – a sturdy, classic freight car from the Reichsbahn era

Are you looking for an authentic Era II freight car model for your 0-scale model railroad layout? The Lenz Om12 high-sided freight car brings the charm of the early Deutsche Reichsbahn directly to your tracks – true to detail, solidly built, and with a special extra: functional doors for even more realism in operation.

Historical prototype from the DRG’s freight transport era

The Om12 type is one of the typical high-sided freight cars used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in freight transport during Era II. These robust cars were in service in various versions: with a brakeman’s platform, with a hand brake, with a brake pipe, or without. The model version with road number 52700 is based on this historical prototype and brings a piece of railway history to your layout.

Realistic detailing in 1:45 scale

The Lenz Om12 high-sided freight car in 1:45 scale impresses with its solid and finely crafted construction. Particularly noteworthy is the ability to open the car’s doors—a lovingly executed detail that makes shunting and loading scenes on the model look especially lifelike. With a length over the buffers of 207 mm, the car is an ideal match for other freight car models from the Reichsbahn era.

Technically sound and operationally reliable

As is customary with Lenz, emphasis was placed on reliable technology in this model as well. The car is designed for the 2-wire DC system and features a NEM-compliant coupling system with close-coupling kinematics. This enables reliable operation on all standard 0-gauge track systems—without compromising on compatibility or running performance.

No electronics – but full impact in model operation

Digital features and sound were deliberately omitted from this model to focus entirely on mechanical and visual qualities. The Om12 thrives on its authenticity, its robust appearance, and the movable door function—exactly what many fans of classic freight railways desire.

For model railroaders with a sense of history

This model is aimed at model builders and collectors who are passionate about Era II and value historical accuracy. Through the combination of technical simplicity and a model builder’s attention to detail, the Lenz Om12 high-sided freight car becomes an indispensable part of any DRG layout.
