Era IV, which lasted from around 1970 to 1985, was a time of technical change in rail freight transport, which was also reflected in vehicle design. Tank wagons such as the Piko 27702 model were an indispensable part of the SBB freight network and a symbol of the development of the efficient transportation of hazardous goods and liquids.
Since its foundation in 1949, the model train manufacturer Piko has built up an excellent reputation for high-quality and detailed models.
