INFORMATION ON THE MODEL:
Tariff conditions on the one hand and technical conditions on the other led to all state railway administrations developing covered freight wagons with almost the same dimensions and loading weights. These were wagons with a 4.5 m wheelbase, a length over buffers of 9.3 m for unbraked wagons, a loading weight of 15 t, later 17.5 t and a floor area of around 21 square meters. This type of freight wagon became the most important and most frequently built covered freight wagon ever; it originally bore the generic symbol Gm. The most common of these state railway cars was the Prussian model IId8, of which 47,533 were built. After the German State Railway Wagon Association DWV was founded in 1909, the A2 type association car was developed. A total of 121,770 units were built starting in 1911. This made it the most frequently built boxcar in the world. It dominated the image of German freight trains until early Epoch 3. As a result of two world wars, these wagons were scattered all over Europe; there was no European railway administration that did not use such wagons at least temporarily.
