Translated Description from LENZ:

Freight train baggage car Pwghs 54 - the prototype

In the mid-1950s, the ever-increasing volume of goods and the obsolescence of the Pwg, some of which were still from the days of the state railway, led to a significant shortage of freight train baggage cars. Here, too, the complete processing of the old Pwg proved to be uneconomical and a new purchase was not financially feasible. The Pwghs 54 was therefore based on the Gms 54. This was not provided with ventilation hatches, but was given a toilet and a driver's compartment that was accessible from the front. If necessary, these Pwghs 54 could easily be converted into G-Wagons. 1,200 Pwghs 54s were built by the late 1950s. The vehicles used in the express freight service were provided with a red â Eâ on a white background on the sides of the wagon. It was only with increasing diesel and e-traction that the freight train luggage wagons gradually became superfluous.

In addition to the standard equipment, the Pwg naturally has a decoder with USP memory for flicker-free interior and exterior lighting, which can be switched separately in digital operation.
