Description
Type Gllmhs 37 Leig-Einheit Pair of Cars Type Gllmhs 37 Leig-Einheit / less-than-carload-lot pair of cars with the lettering Stückgut Schnellverkehr / Less-than-Carload-Lot Express Service. German Federal Railroad (DB). The cars look as they around 1958. Both cars are permanently coupled together and are connected by a diaphragm. The competition from cars starting in the mid-Twenties caused the DRG to emphasize less-than-carload-freight. The pioneering concept: self-contained trains and the sorting of piece freight in route. A lot was improvised on the so-called Leichten Eil-Güterzüge / Lightweight-Fast-Freight-Trains (Leig). With the limitation on train lengths, the end effect was that stops could be made exactly at station platforms and the freight transfer could be accelerated accordingly.
