Lenz 42112-02 0 High-sided Freight Car Om12 Service Car, DB, Era III – Open freight car with historical roots

Are you looking for an authentic high-sided freight car for your Era III freight trains in 0 gauge with a special historical background? The Lenz 42112-02 Om12, designed as a utility car, was originally procured by the DRG and later continued in service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn—an ideal addition to realistic model railroad scenarios.

A car with history – from the DRG prototype to everyday DB technology

With the road number 52700, this car reflects its origins from the DRG era. As a so-called air-brake car, it has no independent braking system and was used in train sets to route the main air line. During the Bundesbahn era of Era III, this type remained an integral part of open freight transport.

Functional and true to the prototype

The Lenz Om12 air line car features a realistic reproduction—including movable doors for authentic loading scenes. With a length over the buffers of 207 mm, it fits perfectly into freight trains of various lengths. The fine engraving on the side walls, combined with functional details such as spring buffers and close-coupling kinematics, makes it a highlight on the layout.

Sophisticated technology for flexible use

Metal wheel sets ensure smooth running, while the NEM shaft allows for easy use with standard coupling systems. A screw coupling can be retrofitted for prototypical representations—ideal for yard yards or layouts with operational requirements.

For historical train formations with depth

The Lenz Om12 service car combines the construction of Era II with the operation of Era III—perfect for model railroading enthusiasts who want to assemble their trains not only visually but also operationally correct. Whether as a single prototype or in combination with other DB or DRG freight cars—this car belongs in every collection that demands historical depth.
