G10 “Knauf Gips” of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

Tariff conditions and technical requirements led the state railway administrations to develop covered freight cars with very similar dimensions and load capacities. Among other specifications, these cars had a wheelbase of 4.5 m, a length over buffers of 9.3 m for unbraked cars, and a load capacity initially of 15 t, later increased to 17.5 t.

These freight cars became the most important and most widely produced type of covered car. Following the founding of the German State Railways Car Association in 1909, the association’s A2 car emerged from the Prussian Model Sheet IId8 and was produced in large numbers beginning in 1911.
