Piko 96628
UIC Standard II-type Gs 4.02
UIC number | Revision date |
01 87 123 2 763-6 | 31.5.93 |
56 g (NEM: 49 to 63 g).
Contradiction between registration (before 1980) and revision date. Very bare in comparison with the Electrotren model. No inserted parts, not even the shutters, but the buffer handles are present! The body is held by four lugs located above and at the rear of the guard plates. I placed pieces of extruded polystyrene into the body to reduce its resonance.
See the Loco-Revue Forum on the G4 (many photos).
UIC Standard II-type built between 1959 and 1968 in 19,216 units. UIC Number 01 or 21 87 121 4 000 to 123 3 999. Former registration K or Kv or Kf 276 000 to 295 999.

Whether the body is in wood planks or in “Permaplex” (plywood) is not a relevant criterion.
