As a result of the goods wagon standardisation
driven forward by the Staatsbahnwagonverband,
the so-called ‘Verband-type’ came into being in
1910. From the outside the wagons resembled
those of the Länder railways but were much more
strongly built. As a result, their load
capacity was raised from 5.75t to 17.5t. Owing
to its exchange of traffic with the state
railway, the Teutoburger Wald Eisenbahn was
obliged to provide and procure a number of goods
wagons of this type, and did so in 1913. Most
were lost without trace in the upheavals of 2
world-wars. Nevertheless 102 TWE survived on its
home line and served, first under the number G
502 and later G 124 (II), to carry breakdown
equipment for the TWE’s workshops in
Lengerich-Hohne. After being taken out of
service in 2001 we took over the vehicle for
storage. Ideas for the future are for it to
serve as a bicycle-carrier in the
'Teuto-Express'.
