Hrs-vz332 boxcar, DB, Era III - Historical authenticity for your model railroad

The Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) Hrs-vz332 covered freight w agon represents the general cargo traffic of the 1950s and 1960s in its classic form. Inspired by the success of the Leig units (light freight trains), this car was developed to speed up the transportation of large quantities of general cargo. With its prototypical reproduction and high-quality details, this model is an indispensable element for all those who want to enrich their H0 layout with authentic trains from Era III.

Information about the prototype - The success story of the Leig units

The Deutsche Reichsbahn and later the Deutsche Bundesbahn relied on so-called Leig units to make the transportation of general cargo faster and more efficient. Two large freight wagons were connected by a wide gangway, which enabled the staff to sort the freight during the journey. This concept proved so successful that the Deutsche Bundesbahn began developing new, modern Leig units in the 1950s.

Based on the Glmehs 50, the Gllm(e)hs 52 was created, which initially bore the distinctive lettering "Stückgut-Schnellverkehr" (general cargo express service). The wagons were assigned to fixed home stations and operated in regular rotations. In the late 1970s, DB began to modernize some of the wagons before they were taken out of service in the early 1990s and replaced by trucks.
