Description

A freight wagon for 9V track

The 9V railway was the flagship of the train range from LEGO® for years, and this wagon adds a goods wagon for loose cargo to it. Hopper wagons carry material such as gravel, coal or grain, and they are loaded from above. The model has 228 pieces and couples to other wagons and locomotives from the same system. It came out in 2001, when many collectors were extending their layouts with extra rolling stock. For anyone who enjoys building trains more than simply running them, it makes a rewarding project.

Tan, black and blue

The main colours are tan, black, blue and dark grey, an unusually sober mix that looks more like industry than a toy. Tan forms the wagon body, black and dark grey take care of the frame and running gear, and blue adds a touch of contrast. The part count is interesting too: 41 different elements are spread across 228 pieces, so many shapes appear several times over. The parts list further down this page shows exactly which shapes those are and how many of each you will find.

To display or to run

A wagon without figures is mainly meant to roll along the track. Hitch it behind a suitable locomotive and you get a longer freight train with more varied cars. It is also detailed enough to look good on a shelf, perhaps next to other wagons from the 9V line. Collectors often want their rolling stock to match in style, and this model fits the other sets from the early 2000s well. Dust it now and then and check that the axles still turn freely.

Parts for your own builds

The parts list reveals which bricks, plates and chassis elements are inside the box. Tan plates and larger surfaces also work well for buildings, loading docks or bridges. Try the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria to see which other models your collection could make together with these parts. That makes the wagon a handy source of bricks as well, in case another railway project needs a particular colour and you would rather not order new ones.
