Details

Add authentic Italian fuel transport to your layout with the Rivarossi HR6709 tank wagon set, a finely detailed H0 gauge (1:87) model featuring two 2-axle FS tank wagons in classic “IP” petroleum company livery, supplied without brakeman’s cab for a more modernised operational appearance.

These wagons represent Era IV (1970s–1980s) freight traffic, when branded private oil companies such as IP (Italiana Petroli) used rail extensively to distribute petrol, diesel, and industrial liquid fuels across Italy and into wider European networks. The simplified design without a brakeman’s cab reflects evolving safety practices and more modern rolling stock configurations of the period.

With their compact proportions and prototypical detailing, this set is ideal for forming realistic refinery trains, fuel distribution services, or mixed freight consists on classic European layouts.
