Brawa 49919 Gedeckter Güterwagen Gbqss-z "Expressgut" der DR, Ep. IV

About the model: The DR Gbqss-z "Expressgut" boxcar is a BRAWA H0 model and is from Era IV. The car shines with a prototypical look as well as numerous features that make this model a real highlight. Among other things, the model was equipped with a multi-part brake system with brake shoes at wheel level and individually applied bearing caps. The car has a length of approximately 166 mm.

About the prototype: freight cars were and are always needed on the railroad. In the 1950s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) was able to remedy the situation in the short term by rebuilding and modernizing the cars, but in the long term, it was clear that other solutions were needed. The RAW "Einheit" Leipzig therefore designed a Glmms car in 1965 that essentially conformed to the standardization characteristics of the UIC data sheet. The knowledge gained from a test car was incorporated into the production cars produced from 1968, which were now designated Glmms 14.05 (later Gbs 1500). The body, with its distinctive corrugated side walls, was built entirely as a welded construction. The side walls were pulled down to the lower edge of the frame's outer longitudinal members and the box sections were welded to it. This made it possible to simplify the side box supports. To avoid damage to the sheet metal walls during loading, the wagons were lined with wood on the inside. The floor was made of standard pine planks and was suitable for loading with forklifts. Based on the Gbs 1500 design, which was built in more than 17,00 units, various other variants were subsequently produced, such as heat protection cars, express freight cars or crew cars. Since the production capacity of the company's own plants reached its limits, cars were also manufactured in neighboring countries and even in Spain. Due to their suitability for RIV, MC and OPW traffic, the cars could be used relatively freely beyond the borders of the GDR and were therefore frequently seen in Bundesbahn trains even before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Approximately 7,000 cars were still in service by the time DB AG was founded.
