LGB 40556 G Kesselwagen, DR, Ep. III Product Details
LGB 40556 - G Tank car, DR (Era III)
The LGB 40556 is a detailed model of a German State Railroad narrow gauge tank car as it was used on numerous branch and narrow gauge lines in Era III. With its true-to-original paint scheme and lettering, this model brings authentic postwar freight car flair to your garden railroad.
Whether for operating or shunting scenarios - this functional tank car embodies the everyday railroad operations of the 1950s and 60s in the GDR and is a versatile model for historic train sets.
Technical details & equipment
The technical functionality of the boiler is a particular highlight: The wagon can be filled via a lid on the top of the boiler and emptied via a cap at the bottom, just like the full-size model. This means that it is not only true to the original, but also offers an interactive play experience for operating scenarios.
The compact length over buffers of 25 cm makes it ideal for use on all garden railway layouts. The robust construction and functional details ensure reliable outdoor use.
Design & true to the original
The model is exactly matched to Era III in terms of color and lettering. The typical design elements such as the black boiler, white lettering and the signage in the style of the DR of the time make this car a visually harmonious element of historical train compositions.
Who is this model suitable for?
The LGB 40556 is aimed at garden railroaders and model railroaders with a focus on Era III and the history of narrow gauge railroads in the GDR. It is ideal for realistic freight trains, industrial connections or as a supplement car in transitional traffic.
