freight car Flat car with stakes Ks 446 DB AG

Model: TT gauge. Former DR flat wagon with rotating rails of the DB AG. With trolley floor made of real wood, drivable minimum radius 310 mm.
Prototype: As a replacement for older flat wagons that had reached the end of their useful life at the DR, the DR procured around 1200 stake wagons in the dimensions of the UIC standard wagons from UV Arad in Romania in 1969. Typical of the vehicles is the girder for reinforcement in the middle area of the car and the use of rotating stanchions instead of plug-in stanchions. In 1994 the DB-AG took over 1,146 pieces of Ks [3300] in their inventory and classified them with the designation Ks 446 in their wagon inventory. Many of these wagons are still in use today by DB AG and private railway companies.
