With its precise details and prototypical equipment, this car brings the history of general cargo transport to your model railroad layout and is an ideal addition to historic freight trains.

The prototype - Efficient general cargo transportation thanks to welding technology

The introduction of welding technology revolutionized car construction on the German State Railroad (DR) starting in 1933. The elimination of rivets led to significant weight savings and enabled a higher loading capacity. The "Gs Oppeln", developed from 1936, was based on an axle base of 6000 mm, which was designed for a maximum permissible speed of 90 km/h - a significant advance in general cargo transportation. A characteristic feature of these wagons was the pointed sprinkler system, which was made necessary by the long wheelbase.

Series production began in 1938 and around 34,600 units were manufactured by the end of the Second World War. Many of these carriages were fitted with steam or electric heating so that they could also be used in express trains. After the war, the carriages were used in many European countries, including Austria, Poland and Belgium. On the German Federal Railways, the carriages were given the designation "Gms 30" from the 1950s onwards. Some examples were even integrated into the EUROP wagon fleet and used internationally.

Detailed realization in the model

The model of the Brawa Gms30 "Knorr" impresses with numerous precise and prototypical details. The frame structure and the openwork car body supports were reproduced true to the original, as were the grab irons, steps and the axle brake linkage. The fine printing and paintwork ensure a realistic appearance that perfectly captures the charm of Era III. The metal axle bearings and the three-point bearing of the bogies also ensure stable running characteristics.

A must-have for historic freight trains

Whether as part of a general cargo train or a mixed freight train - this wagon gives your layout historical depth and ensures a realistic overall appearance.
