BRAWA 50408 - H0 Boxcar Gas DR

Role model information

The Deutsche Bundesbahn did not purchase any four-axle, covered freight wagons. In contrast, these were an important part of the DR's freight wagon fleet. Based on developments during the war, various types of four-axle, covered freight wagons were created, which were purchased in large numbers. At the end of the development there was the GGhrsz model, which was purchased in 1966. These cars were later referred to as Gagmrs-v, then as Gags (genus code number 1992). With this design, the final form of the four-axle, covered wagons of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was found. They were therefore purchased in large numbers. The vehicles had a length of 16.52 m and a load capacity of 57 t. The structure was welded together from sheet metal and the floor was made of wood. After the fall of the Wall, these wagons were not included in the common freight wagon fleet, but some continued to be used as private wagons.
