Gms “Kärcher” of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

The Gm(h)s Bremen is considered the successor to the Gms Oppeln. Beginning in 1943, these cars were manufactured with a welded construction and featured a particularly long wheelbase of 7 m to achieve a smoother ride.

After World War II, additional cars were needed to handle rising freight volumes. In the British-U.S. zone, production resumed in 1949 due to new orders, resulting in an additional 5,925 Gm(h)s cars being added to the Deutsche Bundesbahn fleet by the end of 1950.

Fine-detail design for realistic freight trains

The H0 model features metal axle bearings, different variations of the car bodies, and a prototypical frame construction. Separately attached axle bearing caps, handrails, steps, the braking system, and the axle brake linkage ensure a high-quality level of detail.

Brake shoes at wheel level and openwork car body supports round out the harmonious design. Get the Brawa 51187 H0 Gms “Kärcher” Covered Freight Car and expand your DB freight train fleet with a distinctive Era III car.
