Liliput L235223 flat wagon, period IV, DB, Lgjs 571.1, 440 4 621-0, with 2 intermodal

Product Description

In the 1960s, large containers were particularly required for overseas traffic.

For this, new carrier cars had to be built, for example the Lgjs 571.1, which served as a model for our model. In 1974, 150 of these wagons were delivered to the DB. From 1970 to 1980, almost 700 cars of this type were put into service in a total of six series.

The last ones were retired around 1997. Their long wheelbase of 10.00 m with a LüP of 17.10 m did not allow them to be used in RIV traffic.

The loading length of 14.60 m allowed loading with two 20-foot containers, one 40-foot container or even two truck swap bodies.
