Details

Add classic Central European mineral oil freight to your layout with this PIKO 2026 novelty 2-axle tank wagon, representing the CSD (Czechoslovak State Railways) “Benzina” tanker in Era IV. This finely detailed model reflects the widespread fuel transport wagons used across Czechoslovakia during the 1970s and 1980s, when rail remained a key method for distributing petroleum products to depots and industrial facilities.

The prototype “Benzina” wagons were used for the transport of light fuels and petroleum products, forming an essential part of domestic freight traffic and appearing frequently in mixed goods trains and dedicated block oil services. Their compact two-axle design made them a common sight across regional and mainline operations.

PIKO has faithfully recreated this wagon in HO scale with clean, prototype-accurate red livery, sharp “Benzina” branding, and finely moulded tank detailing, capturing the functional and industrial appearance of the original vehicle. The model is ideal for adding realism and variety to Era IV freight consists, especially in oil and chemical traffic formations.

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