DSB Litra Elo I

Posted on by Dennis Tomsen

The DSB Litra Elo (I) was the ubiquitous Danish twin-axled open wagon built by Scandia in the thousands from 1942-1950.

All are decommissioned today with only a few surviving as museum pieces.

The model:

Stock wooden livery.

Scale: ~1:50
Length: 22 studs
Width: 7 1/10 studs
Bricks: 253
Designed: 2018
Updated: 2023



The wagon is able to navigate R40 curves and switches with some resistance but works far better with R56 and above due to the distance between the two fixed wheel axles.

The model has been built and tested in real life but you are more than welcome to contact me regarding any errors in the Stud.io file, building instructions or the model itself. Feedback is always much appreciated.

Different type of goods will be added to the building instructions soon.



Artwork for the stickers will be added on a later date.

Posted on by bigdaedy

The “Zags” tank wagon is widely used all across Europe and is usually filled with all sorts of various liquid cargos, most notably oil and chemical products.
The moc features some advanced techniques and should be build by more experienced builders.

Minimum radius is R104 in 1:45 scale.

Custom parts include: Ball bearings

Build and tested in real life but if there is something wrong with it, please contact me so I can update the file. Also feel free to recolour it to your own imagination!

Open freight wagon

Posted on by Kleini

This simple, subtle open freight wagon can be used in all sorts of scenarios and works for both a mixed freight train as well as a full consist of only these wagons. It can also be mixed inbetween some of the open freight wagon for sugar beets, making for a more interesting train overall.

Please be aware that the height of the buffer is 2 plates above the standard height for a more realistic appearance, therefor the magnet is higher as well. Getting the buffer piece to be lower will need a bit of modificiation but should not be difficult. The minimum radius might be smaller than R104 but that was not tested by me.

Open freight wagon for sugar beets

This simple open freight wagon was mostly used in long consists to move harvested sugar beets. The model is build approx. in 1:45 scale and uses no custom pieces.
