Role model information

In order to be able to satisfy the ever-growing transport needs in the emerging Federal Republic, the German Federal Railroad also endeavored to replace the most diverse types of pre-war wagons as quickly as possible. Large numbers of open freight wagons were needed to transport coal, among other things. That's why the DB, together with the Uerdingen wagon factory, developed a two-axle open wagon with a 5.40 m wheelbase by 1952.

A total of 14,919 examples of the Omm52 were built and delivered to the Federal Railway by 1962. The cars had a frame made of welded hollow box sections with welded head pieces. The drive was already designed according to UIC guidelines with a suspension with double spring hooks. Initially the wagons were delivered with a Hildebrandt-Knorr freight train brake, later series with the more modern Knorr standard brake. Some of the cars had a handbrake, with the brakeman's platform being screwed to one side of the long beam, giving the cars an asymmetrical chassis with different overhangs. The first deliveries of vehicles with handbrakes still had a metal brakeman's cab. However, some of the cars were purely cable cars ex works and had no brake system. The structure of the wagons was also welded and had doors on the sides and movable head flaps on the front, which enabled unloading via tipping systems. Cars with handbrakes, on the other hand, had a solid front wall on the handbrake side. Almost all Omm52 were in the EUROP park and could therefore be freely used by the member railways.
