Piko 27730 H0 Tank car with brakeman's cab, ČSD, Ep. III: A piece of railroad history

The Piko 27730 H0 tank wagon with brakeman's cab is a precise replica of a two-axle ČSD (Czechoslovakian State Railways) tank wagon from Era III. This model combines robust construction, detailed design and excellent rolling characteristics and is therefore a highlight for historical model railway layouts.

The prototype: ČSD tank car in Era III

In Era III (1945-1970), tank wagons with a brakeman's cab were a typical element of rail freight transport. They were mainly used for the transportation of liquids such as oil and chemicals. The brakeman's cab, a small, protected control panel on the wagon, was a practical feature for shunting personnel. The two-axle body made these wagons flexible and ideal for use on winding routes.

The ČSD in Era III: Reconstruction and growth

The ČSD was a central force in the reconstruction of the Czechoslovakian rail network after the Second World War. In Era III, freight transport played a key role in supplying industry and the population. Tank cars such as the Piko model were an indispensable part of the train formations and symbolize the economic development of this time.
