Perfect for model railroaders who want to enhance their layout with authentic Era I rolling stock.

The Prototype: A Special Car for Hazardous Materials

Between 1907 and 1911, a total of 1,813 covered Type Gi freight cars were built for the K.W.St.E. by various car manufacturers. The cars were characterized by side walls divided into eight segments and a sturdy steel car door. A striking feature was the undercarriage with an additional fishbelly girder, which ensured stability. The Württemberg cars were built exclusively without hand brakes. After World War I, many of these cars found their way to the DRG, where they continued to be used under the Hanover regional district.
