BRAWA 67330 - N Covered freight wagon Gmhs DR

Role model information

With the start of the Second World War and the sharp increase in transport tasks, the DRB suffered from a severe shortage of cars. The only possible solution was to design new types of wagons in order to increase the loading weight and volume on the one hand and to massively reduce the necessary steel consumption on the other. As part of these efforts, the two-axle G-Wagen Gmhs Bremen was built from 1943 onwards. Compared to the last design, the Ghs Oppeln, the wheelbase was extended by one meter, which increased the loading space by 5 m³. In addition, almost 2 t of steel was saved per wagon, resulting in a dead weight of less than 10 t. From 1943 to January 1945 a total of 7,230 cars were built. 3,440 of them were equipped with a hand brake platform that protruded over the buffers on one side and thus increased the LüP by only 100 mm. As a result of the war, the cars were scattered all over Europe, so that after 1945 Gmhs “Bremen” could be found in almost all Central European countries. There was only a partial exchange of wagons between the railways, and there was no exchange between the later countries of the Eastern Bloc and Western Europe.
