Why this wooden tank wagon makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you design yourself shows your own style. Use it as part of a little railway on the windowsill, as a name sign for the children's room or as a decoration stuck on a present. The tank wagon is a motif that children and adults recognise at once. You decide the size and design yourself. So you get exactly the decoration that suits you.

Material & finish

The tank wagon is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives a precise outline, smooth edges and the typical brown rim that adds depth to the motif. The wood is untreated, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. It is ideal for painting, gluing, staining or oiling. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a natural material. It shows different shades, fine grain patterns and occasionally small knots. This makes every piece unique and is not a defect.

• In a shop or café: arrange several wagons as a train in the shop window or on the counter. It is quick to set up and can be redesigned for each season.

Good to know about the tank wagon

The tank wagon is a classic goods wagon for carrying liquids. With its round tank, it is one of the most recognisable railway silhouettes. It has been part of model railways for generations. That is why the motif works so well for railway-themed birthdays, children's room decorations or as a gift idea for model railway fans. People recognise it at first glance.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it is best kept in dry indoor areas. Avoid constant moisture. Or seal the surface with varnish or oil after decorating it. Then your motif will look good for a long time.

Can I paint the tank wagon or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oils directly. You can get started without a primer.

Where does the brown rim on the edges come from? The tank wagon is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge that finely traces the outline. It is a characteristic of this cutting method.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape does, the wood does not. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and sometimes small knots. Every piece is unique.

Which sizes and quantities are available? You choose a width between 3 and 50 cm in 1 cm steps. You can order single pieces or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
