Details

Add modern Central European freight realism to your layout with this PIKO 2026 novelty four-axle tank wagon, representing a Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) wagon in Era V fitted with a brakeman’s cab. This detailed model depicts a contemporary heavy-duty tank wagon used in international chemical and industrial liquid transport across European freight networks.

The prototype features a robust four-axle tank design with integrated brakeman’s platform/cab structure, reflecting operational requirements still found on selected freight wagons during the late 20th and early 21st century transition period. PIKO has captured this distinctive configuration in HO scale with crisp detailing, finely moulded tank components, and accurate Era V MÁV lettering.

The model is finished with high-quality printing and realistic proportions, making it an excellent choice for block trains, industrial freight consists, or mixed international services. Its clean detailing ensures it fits seamlessly into both modern and transitional European freight formations.

Built for dependable operation, the wagon delivers excellent running characteristics with smooth-rolling wheelsets, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of layouts. A NEM coupling pocket with close coupling mechanism provides easy integration into existing HO scale stock.
