Description

About the model: The model of the DR heavy goods wagon Samm-u[4818] was prototypically produced on a scale of 1:87. The car is from Era IV and is impressive with extra spring assemblies and a multi-part brake system. The car was also given the road number "31 50 480 2331-3".

About the prototype: DB AG took over 1,044 of the 6-axle flat cars with low sides procured by the DR starting in 1952 and designated them as Samm 451. The cars were a specialty of the Eastern European railroads; these types of cars were not available in the West. Originally intended for transporting extra-heavy tracked vehicles for troop transports, the wagons were mainly used at the end of their life cycle as construction service wagons for transporting ballast, gravel or excavated material.
