Flachwagen / Flat car Matchbox 1977 1:64 Made in England Railway Wagon

The model represents a Flachwagen railway wagon, meaning a low loading platform designed to carry various types of cargo. The upper part of the construction is made of black metal and has a simple, open form without enclosed side walls. The underside consists of a grey plastic chassis, which clearly contrasts with the dark platform. There are couplings at both ends, four in total, emphasising the miniature's railway character and allowing it to be connected to other rolling stock. The diecast model has a practical, technical style, without additional printing, operator markings or decorative details. The 1:64 scale makes the model well suited to small railway layouts and collections of miniature vehicles. The use of metal for the platform gives it a suitable weight, while the plastic chassis reproduces the wagon's basic structural elements. As a loose model, it may show signs of previous use typical of models stored outside their packaging.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
