Covered Freight Car Gw DRG

Info about the original

Although its payload was lower than that of the newer cars of Classes Gm and Glm, Bavaria was not able to dispense with the older G-cars. In particular when transporting lighter package freight, e.g. products of the large glass industry in the Bavarian forest, the limited load-bearing capacity did not play a role. Therefore the older cars also had red-brown livery after 1912 and were assigned to the newly created “Regensburg” grouping. All cars with a payload of less than 15 tonnes were included in this group.
