The Piko 37100 G Freight Train Starter Set offers the ideal introduction to the world of garden railroads. It contains a powerful class 80 steam locomotive and two bulk freight cars, all of which are from Era III of the German Federal Railroad (DB). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 750 mm and numerous technical features such as a light change depending on the direction of travel and preparation for sound and steam functions, this set is a great choice for anyone who wants to start with G gauge.

The prototype: BR 80 steam locomotive and bulk goods wagon

The class 80 was a compact but powerful steam locomotive that was primarily used for shunting operations and short freight trains. In Era III, the German Federal Railroad was present with these locomotives at many stations in Germany. The Piko 37100 starter set contains a replica of this locomotive coupled with two bulk freight cars with DB lettering. The two cars have different road numbers, which provides more variety in freight traffic on your layout.
