Modellbahn Union MU-H0-G54111 H0 Güterwagen Gls 205 Gms 54 Product Details

Description

Prototype: The Gms 54 were the first covered freight cars of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), created from the conversion of older cars. The chassis of the old cars was particularly reused. Special production lines were set up in the repair works (AW) in Fulda and Munich-Freimann for production. By the early 1960s, about 14,100 Gms 54 were built. The car bodies were made of synthetic resin wood panels, the floor of pine planks, and the roof of PIB or PVC plastic. By 1968, around 13,800 cars had been reclassified as Gls 205 and received UIC steps and roofs made of StCu sheet metal. By the end of 1987, around 4,000 cars were still in service, gradually being decommissioned. Some cars were used as railway service cars until the 1990s or sold to construction companies.
