Piko 28339 H0 - Two-piece set of Falns self-discharging bulk wagons, RBH, Era VI

Set of two Falns self-discharging wagons in the livery of the RBH Logistics operator

A ready-to-run, two-piece set of Falns self-discharging wagons for bulk materials in the livery of the private operator RBH in Era VI. In H0 scale the PIKO models realistically represent heavy bulk transport, typical of an industrial region.

The wagons stand out with prototypical lettering, correct proportions and fine, precisely reproduced details. They are built as a direct-current (DC) version, with an NEM coupler pocket and a close-coupling mechanism, and their very good running characteristics allow long goods trains to be made up from them. An AC wheelset (no. 56061) is available separately for the Märklin AC system.

About the Falns self-discharging wagons:

Falns self-discharging (hopper) wagons are four-axle rolling stock for carrying bulk materials – primarily coal, aggregates and other mass loads. Their design allows quick gravity unloading through flaps in the lower part of the body, without tipping the wagon, which considerably speeds up handling at terminals and industrial plants.

RBH Logistics is a German rail freight operator associated with the Ruhr region, specialising in bulk transport, including coal for industry. Trains made up of Falns wagons in RBH livery are a characteristic image of modern, heavy freight traffic in Era VI.
