Further information about the prototype and model:
With production starting in 1895, the G02 is one of the earliest flat-roofed freight cars of wooden construction. The goal of the series was to standardise freight car construction. The payload was 15 tons, with a a loading volume of 45.7 m3. The maximum permissible speed was 60 km/h. A total of 47,533 units of this freight car type, which was about 9.3 meters long and weighed about 10 tons, were built. The G02 was the basis for the following freight car, the G10. Many G02s were later upgraded to the G10.
Our Prototypes:

First procured by the Prussian State Railroad, these cars were also a common contemporary for the Deutsche Reichsbahn for a long time. Accordingly, the joy of the fans of the scale 1:120 should be great that these newly designed freight cars are now also available in this scale. As usual for PIKO, the look is convincing with finest engravings. This makes it possible to precisely identify the individual planks of the cars, which are built in unit construction. The same is true for the bogies: from the spring assemblies to the brake shoes, all individual parts are easily recognisable. For maximum enjoyment, the cars are already fully assembled and equipped at the factory. Many attached parts are separate and free-standing. The clean finish not only results in a magnificent sight in collectors' display cases, but also in a particularly high level of driving pleasure. Detailed and yet robust, the freight cars roll over a wide variety of track layouts.
Smooth running axles provide excellent rolling and running characteristics, whether during leisurely steam travel or in shunting operations. Located in Era III, the G02 cars from PIKO are an important pioneer for standardised freight operation. A car with a brakeman's cab also appears historically correct.
The G02 boxcars are a welcome addition to the PIKO TT range. They are already preceded by the class 55 steam locomotive #47100, which was awarded Model of the Year 2018. Locomotive and car together form a nostalgic combination.
The two individually available cars will soon be followed by a car set with historic advertising, consisting of one car with and one car without a brakeman's cab #47032. No Era III fleet should be without this striking car. After all, the G02 is one of the most built freight cars in the world.
