Description

Piko 24540 H0 Tank wagon, SNCB - Era III

The Piko 24540 H0 Tank Car is an authentic reproduction of a classic freight car of the Belgian State Railways (SNCB) from Era III. This model, with its typical design for the transportation of liquid goods, ideally complements the freight train compositions of your H0 model railway layout and brings the atmosphere of historical freight traffic to your tracks.

The tank wagon: Indispensable in freight traffic

Tank wagons like this one were essential for the transportation of liquids such as chemicals or mineral oil products. Era III marks the reconstruction and further development of European rail transport in the post-war period. This model faithfully reflects the typical construction and functionality of that time.

Detailed design and robust design

The model impresses with its precise reproduction of the shape of the wagon and prototypical lettering. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 142 mm, the tank wagon fits harmoniously into historic freight trains. The robust design ensures reliable operation, even on demanding layouts.

Flexibility thanks to interchangeable wheel sets

The model can be retrofitted with interchangeable wheel sets for AC operation (item number: 56061) and can therefore be used flexibly for different track systems. The coupler with NEM shaft offers versatile connection options, even if no close coupler link is available.

Excellent running characteristics

The excellent running characteristics ensure smooth operation on the layout. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the car is ideal for a wide range of layouts, both large and compact.

Conclusion: A classic for Era III fans

The Piko 24540 H0 tank wagon brings the atmosphere of historic SNCB freight traffic to your model railway layout. With its detailed design, flexible application options and excellent running characteristics, this model is a perfect addition to freight trains from Era III.
