Piko 24501 H0 flat wagon Rs loaded with concrete sleepers, construction train, DBAG, Era VI: A robust freight wagon for realistic construction train scenarios

The Piko 24501 H0 flat wagon Rs is a versatile and detailed model that has been specially designed for construction train scenarios in Era VI. With its eye-catching yellow paintwork and realistic load of concrete sleepers, this flat wagon brings an authentic touch to any H0 model railway layout. The open freight wagon is ideal for railroaders who want to depict scenes relating to track construction and logistics on their layout. Whether in combination with other construction train cars or as a single piece - the Piko 24501 fits perfectly into modern freight train compositions and is an enrichment for every collection.

The Deutsche Bahn AG and the use of construction trains in Era VI

Deutsche Bahn AG (DBAG) plays a central role in rail transport and relies on construction trains for the maintenance and modernization of the rail network. In Era VI, which began around the year 2000, the use of special vehicles and flat cars for the transportation of construction materials such as concrete sleepers became increasingly important. The Piko 24501 Rs flat wagon with concrete sleeper load perfectly reproduces this reality and gives every model railway layout that little bit of extra authenticity that brings scenes of modern railroad construction sites to life.

Piko - precision and quality for the highest demands

The renowned model railroad manufacturer Piko has been an integral part of the model railroad scene for over 70 years and offers high-quality model railroad vehicles that impress with their attention to detail and quality. The 24501 flat wagon is another example of Piko's commitment to producing realistic and durable models that meet the demands of ambitious model railroaders. From the yellow paintwork to the authentic concrete sleepers, this wagon offers the highest level of detail and robustness that will last for a long time, even with intensive use.

Era VI: Modern logistics and construction projects on the railroad

Era VI is characterized by modern logistics structures and advanced infrastructure development. This is also reflected in the wagons used, which are specially designed for transporting heavy loads and building materials. The Rs flat wagon from Piko is designed for the transportation of building materials such as concrete sleepers and thus enables a realistic reproduction of construction train scenarios. Model railroaders who want to design their layout in a modern way and capture the working world of track construction will receive a suitable and detailed model with the Piko 24501.

Technical details of the Piko 24501 flat wagon

The Piko 24501 flat wagon impresses with its true-to-scale replica and high-quality equipment. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 115 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the wagon is perfect for H0 layouts. The NEM shaft coupling with close coupling kinematics ensures a flexible connection to other wagons and enables a realistic representation of closed freight trains. The car is designed for direct current and fits easily into existing H0 layouts that have a modern construction site or freight traffic look.

H0 gauge and direct current operation

The Piko 24501 Rs flat wagon is designed for H0 gauge and DC operation, which makes it particularly attractive for most model railroaders. The H0 gauge offers an excellent balance between attention to detail and space requirements, so that even larger construction train formations can be realized on moderate layout sizes. Thanks to DC operation, the car is compatible with many commercially available model railroad layouts and fits seamlessly into existing train systems.

Realistic color scheme and authentic loading

The model of the construction train flat car impresses with its eye-catching yellow paint scheme, which is typical for construction train vehicles and stands out well on any layout. This color scheme corresponds to the original design of such wagons in use for DBAG. The loading area of the flat wagon is fitted with a stack of concrete sleepers, providing a realistic construction train look. The detailed reproduction of the load and the precise attachment ensure that the model also makes an authentic impression when in motion.

Accessories and spare parts for the Piko 24501

Piko offers a wide range of accessories and spare parts for the 24501 flat wagon to ensure the flexibility and durability of the model. Couplings and axles in particular can be replaced if necessary, so that the wagon remains in excellent condition even with frequent use. This contributes to the longevity of the model and makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone who values quality and attention to detail.

Conclusion: An indispensable construction train flat car for modern model railroad layouts

The Piko 24501 H0 flat wagon Rs with concrete sleeper load is the ideal addition for all model railroaders who operate a modern layout in Era VI. The authentic design, the robust workmanship and the eye-catching construction train paintwork make this model an eye-catcher on any layout. This flat car brings the scenario of a construction site or freight train to life and brings a piece of modern railroad history to your model railroad layout in miniature form. A must for anyone who wants to add a realistic construction train element to their layout.
