Details

Bring authentic mid-century German freight operations to your garden railway with this PIKO G Scale livestock transport wagon, representing a Deutsche Bundesbahn Era III freight vehicle. This detailed model captures the distinctive wagons used across West Germany for the transport of live cattle and livestock during the 1950s and 1960s.

The prototype Viehtransportwagen was widely used in regional and long-distance freight services, providing secure and ventilated transport for livestock. These wagons were a common sight in mixed goods trains and agricultural supply chains across the DB network during Era III.

PIKO has faithfully reproduced this wagon in large G Scale format, engineered specifically for garden railway operation. The model features finely detailed bodywork, prototypical sliding doors, and authentic DB Era III lettering, delivering a highly realistic representation of classic freight stock.

A key operational feature is the movable sliding doors, which enhance realism during loading and unloading scenes on the layout. Combined with robust construction, the wagon is well suited for both indoor and outdoor operation.

Built for reliable performance, the wagon offers excellent running characteristics in G Scale, ensuring smooth operation across large-radius garden railway layouts.
