The prototype: KPEV boxcars

Covered freight wagons with a brakeman's cab were a typical feature of the railroad in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They not only provided protection for the transported load, but also allowed manual brake control by the brakeman. These wagons were used for the safe transportation of goods and shaped the appearance of the freight trains of the time.

Piko: Quality and prototypical details

The model of the covered goods wagon impresses with its clear-cut, true-to-original printing and the clearly recognizable wooden planks, which perfectly reflect the design of the original. The intricately designed brakeman's cab and the precisely reproduced bogies underline the attention to detail and the high quality of this model.

Era I: The beginnings of rail freight transportation

Era I, which covers the period up to 1920, represents the early days of rail transportation. This model is ideal for depicting historical freight train formations and complements layouts that depict the rail traffic of this era.
