Volkswagen and the Deutsche Bundesbahn developed an extremely creative idea when they signed a contract in 1959 for the rail transport of engines and transmissions between the individual Volkswagen production sites. The solution consisted of standardized containers that could be transported on short-coupled double units of converted stake cars of the RM(r)31 design. They now had only flat structures with wooden floor on which the sub-frames for the containers were mounted. Six containers filled with either 36 engines or 96 transmissions fit on each double unit. In 1966, the container carrying wagons for motor and transmission transport ran out between Hanover and Wolfsburg, Emden and Ingolstadt, as well as with the same destinations and later also to Brussels from Kassel-Baunatal. From 1970 onwards, Salzgitter, Neckarsulm, Stuttgart and Osnabrueck (Karman) were added as further destinations. Model: Open goods wagon double unit Laabs for container transport (coupled KLMS 440 ex Rmrso 31) of the German Federal Railways (DB), rented out to Volkswagen AG (VW). Design without hand brake, with container support frame and Volkswagen transport containers as loading. Operating condition around 1971. Model: Container trolleys with truss and different identification numbers. Loaded with a total of six Volkswagen transport containers with different container numbers. Total length over buffers approx. 28.2 cm. AC wheel set E700150. Trix Express wheel set E258259. Licensed by Volkswagen. Suitable goods wagons can be found in the Trix H0 assortment under the article number 24332 and in Maerklin H0 assortment under the article number 46661, 46129 and 46139.This text is machine translated.
