Prototype: The German State Railroad Ommu44 open freight car

The Ommu44 open freight car was a typical German State Railroad (DR) car that was developed for transporting bulky or unpackaged goods. With its robust design and large load volume, this type of wagon was indispensable for freight transport in the 1950s and 1960s. The Deutsche Reichsbahn used this type of wagon primarily in Era III (1949-1970), a time of economic upturn in which freight transport played a central role. The transportation of coal, ores and building materials in particular made this open freight wagon one of the most frequently used vehicles in freight transport in the GDR.

The distinctive design of the Ommu44 was characterized by its open side walls and the absence of a roof, which made it easier to load and unload bulk goods. The model of the Ommu44 from Piko is a faithful reproduction of this legendary wagon type and offers model railroaders the opportunity to bring a piece of railroad history to their layout.
