The prototype: A freight car of the Dutch State Railroad in Era IV

In Era IV (1965-1990), the railroad underwent a significant transformation. The Dutch State Railways (NS) introduced standardized wagons for freight transport during this time. The open freight wagon was mainly used for the transportation of bulk goods such as coal, gravel and scrap. Its robust construction and versatility made it an indispensable part of freight transport.

The characteristic design with an open loading area allowed fast loading and unloading, which made it particularly attractive for industrial use. Models such as the 24522 H0 open freight wagon faithfully reflect this practical design and are a must for realistic freight trains in model railroad layouts.

Era IV was characterized by the introduction of new technical standards and harmonization between European railroad companies.

The open freight car in this model corresponds exactly to the specifications of this era, including the characteristic lettering, which reflects the international standard.
