With the PIKO freight train starter set, PIKO presents a detailed and authentic model set that is perfect for beginners and fans of Era III. This set represents a short freight train of the German Federal Railroad and is ideal for use on branch lines. It includes a steam locomotive and three different freight cars that are prototypically painted and printed so that the set offers a realistic representation of the trains of that time. With a total length over buffers of 457 mm, this set fits perfectly on compact model railroad layouts.
In Era III, the German Federal Railroad used a large number of freight trains on branch lines to ensure the regional transportation of goods. The steam locomotives of this time were the backbone of the transportation and pulled various freight cars, which were loaded differently depending on the freight. The PIKO starter set is based on these prototypes and recreates a typical freight train as it was found on the DB lines in the 1950s and 1960s.
With the steam locomotive and the three freight cars, the set conveys an authentic impression and offers a realistic representation of historic railroad operations. The prototypical paintwork and the fine printing on the wagons also make the set interesting for collectors and fans of historical railroad models.
The set contains all the components required to build a compact layout. The rails are supplied with bedding, which not only ensures a stable construction, but also makes it easier to lay the tracks. The combination of curved and straight tracks makes it possible to create an oval basic shape with an area of approx. 110 x 88 cm, which is ideal for running small trains.
The steam locomotive in this set is the highlight and offers a powerful representation of the steam locomotives that were often used on branch lines at that time. Together with the three freight cars - an open freight car, a flat car with a truck load and a two-axle tank car - the set represents a versatile freight train that is typical of the regional goods traffic of Era III.
The wagons included provide a nice variety and enrich the layout with various loads and details. The open freight car is ideal for bulk goods, the flat car transports a truck as a load, and the tank car brings the look of a versatile freight train to your tracks. All of the cars are painted to match and blend harmoniously into the appearance of the steam locomotive.
The PIKO starter set also includes a speed controller and a power supply unit so that you can put the set into operation immediately. The speed controller enables precise speed control and is easy to use, making it ideal for beginners. The power supply unit ensures a safe and stable power supply so that model railway operation runs smoothly and reliably.
The PIKO starter set freight train with steam locomotive and freight wagon is the perfect choice for beginners who want to experience an authentic Era III freight train. The high quality of the models, the prototypical design and the extensive equipment make this set an excellent basis for entering the world of model railroading. Thanks to its compact dimensions and immediate readiness for use, the set is also suitable for smaller layouts or as an addition to existing layouts.
