Piko 38982 G Freight Train Escort Car, B&O: A Classic of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
The Piko 38982 G freight train escort car is an exclusive 2025 novelty that is based on the classic freight train escort cars of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O). With its authentic design, the option of retrofitting interior lighting and the high-quality workmanship, this model is an indispensable highlight for any G-gauge layout.
The prototype: B&O freight car
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O), one of the oldest railroad companies in the United States, was known for its innovations and its extensive route network. Freight train cars like this one were used to support the operation of freight trains. They served as mobile offices and lounges for train conductors, especially on long routes. These cars are a symbol of the efficiency and organization of American rail traffic.
Piko: precision and quality
Piko stands for high-quality model railroads that impress with their attention to detail and durability. The B&O freight car combines historical authenticity with modern production techniques and is ideal for sophisticated G-scale model railroad layouts.
Era and possible uses
The wagon can be used universally and can be depicted in scenarios from different eras. Whether as part of a historic freight train formation or in a modern layout - this trailer car fits seamlessly into a wide variety of operating environments.
Design and color scheme: Authentic B&O design
The freight train escort car has the classic B&O color scheme. The detailed lettering and the company's iconic logo make the model a real eye-catcher. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 286 mm, the wagon fits harmoniously into any freight train formation.
Technical details and functionality
The freight train escort car is designed for operation on tracks with a minimum radius of 600 mm. The option of retrofitting interior lighting provides additional realism on your layout. Thanks to the robust construction and the proven coupling system from Piko, problem-free integration into existing train formations is guaranteed.
Realism and versatility
This model not only offers an impressive appearance, but also practical application possibilities. With its realistic design and the retrofit option for interior lighting, the car is ideal for collectors and active model railroaders alike.
