Details

Add classic European freight versatility to your layout with this PIKO 2026 novelty stake wagon LWRK 87855, representing a Niederländische Staatsbahnen (NS) freight wagon in Era III finished in a realistic grey livery. This model captures the typical post-war design used across the Netherlands and wider Central European freight networks during the 1950s and 1960s.

The prototype stake wagon was a highly flexible flat wagon type used for transporting long loads such as timber, steel sections, pipes, and general industrial cargo, making it a staple of mixed freight operations throughout the NS network. Its simple yet robust construction made it suitable for international wagon pools and cross-border freight services.

PIKO has faithfully reproduced this wagon in HO scale with clean grey paintwork, sharp NS Era III lettering, and finely moulded stake details, delivering a realistic and operationally useful freight vehicle for historic train formations. The model’s understated finish makes it ideal for authentic mixed goods trains and industrial scenes.

Built for dependable operation, the wagon offers excellent running characteristics with smooth-rolling wheelsets for reliable performance across layouts of all sizes. A NEM coupling pocket with close coupling mechanism ensures easy integration into existing HO scale rolling stock.
