The LS Models KB flat wagon, reference 30136, reproduces in HO scale a unit from the NOVATRANS SNCF fleet corresponding to Era IV. The characteristic blue-grey livery and the engraved registration number 20 87 047 9 069-9 place this piece within a specific and recognisable period for modellers working with French freight consists from the seventies and eighties.
A KB flat wagon with its own identity
LS Models has reproduced this wagon with an engraved registration number and a short coupling with extension included, making it easy to integrate into trains with tight curves without breaking the visual continuity of the consist. At 190 mm in HO scale, it fits naturally within a freight formation without looking out of proportion alongside the motive power or other wagons.
Confirmed technical details
The model is ready to run on analogue two-rail DC systems. The registration number 20 87 047 9 069-9 identifies it as an individual unit within the NOVATRANS SNCF fleet. The short coupling with extension is included as standard, allowing it to be adapted to different train configurations depending on the layout's track plan.
In a consist and on the layout
Within an Era IV freight train, this KB flat wagon adds variety to the formation without compromising its visual coherence. Combined with other wagons from the same period and operator, it helps build that working train atmosphere that defines French railway scenes from the seventies and eighties. In a display cabinet, the engraved registration number and blue-grey NOVATRANS finish make it a piece with a clear and well-defined character.
