Details

Add a true everyday workhorse to your freight fleet with this PIKO 2026 novelty open goods wagon, representing the widely used E036 type of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) in Era IV. This printed variant captures the rugged, functional design that made these wagons a staple of German rail freight operations throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

The E036 open wagon was designed for transporting a wide variety of bulk and loose materials, including coal, scrap metal, timber and general goods, making it an essential vehicle for both mainline and shunting duties. Its two-axle construction with folding side walls reflects the practical engineering of the prototype, allowing for flexible loading and unloading in yards and industrial settings.

This HO scale model faithfully reproduces the prototype with clean, precise printing and well-defined detailing, including accurately moulded bodywork and underframe components. Built to PIKO’s reliable standards, it offers excellent running characteristics thanks to smooth-rolling wheelsets, while the NEM coupling pocket with close coupling mechanism ensures dependable operation across a range of layouts, including tighter curves.

Ideal for forming realistic mixed freight trains or enhancing shunting layouts, this E036 wagon is a versatile addition for any modeller focused on Era IV German railway operations.
