Festive Special Car for G Gauge

With the Piko 38991, the Christmas theme is clearly the focus. The covered freight car combines the classic shape of a freight car with a special seasonal design. This allows it to be seamlessly integrated into a Christmas train, where it adds a fitting festive touch.

The design stands out thanks to the Christmas greetings from around the world. Both sides feature different prints, displaying greetings in a total of 11 languages. As a result, the Christmas Express 2026 offers a unique design on each side of the car, making the international Christmas theme the central feature of the model.

Christmas Greetings in 11 Languages

A special detail of the Piko Christmas freight car is its multilingual printing. The sides of the car feature Christmas greetings in 11 different languages, thus capturing the Christmas theme in an international way. Since the two sides of the car are designed differently, the model displays different motifs depending on which side is facing the viewer.

This design makes the covered freight car particularly well-suited for seasonal train formations. Anyone wishing to give their G-gauge layout a festive theme during the Christmas season can use the Piko 38991 as a standalone eye-catcher or as part of a longer Christmas train.

Ideal for seasonal Christmas trains

The Piko 38991 was designed as a Christmas car for G-gauge and is ideally suited for seasonal Christmas trains. This allows the car to be used specifically during the Advent and Christmas season and combined with other matching vehicles to create a festive train formation.

In terms of class, the model is categorized as a freight car. The railway company is listed as “Other,” while the time period covers Epochs I through VI. Thus, this special car does not focus on a specific railway company, but rather on the vehicle’s Christmas-themed design.

Large G-gauge model with a length of 362 mm

The covered freight car has a length over buffers of 362 mm. The minimum curve radius is specified as 358 mm. This provides specific technical information for planning the model’s placement on a G-gauge layout.
