The German type Gbls boxcar has been modeled in all scales as it is an important freight car commonly used for many years in Europe. A good solid construction and design make this a long lasting boxcar that travels throughout much of Germany and its neighboring countries.

FR has had their version in Z featured on the FR website for sometime thus it is available to order today. It features full medal construction, marklin couplers and modern updates to the prototype featured in the model: 46.815.01.

FR’s German made Gbls is modeled on Era IV for the SJ.

The obvious attention to detail and prototypical accuracy sets FR’s offering apart. Separately applied details include handrails, brakes and ladders. The undercarriage includes detailing as well along with the FR logo. Handmade in small batches FR’s offerings are highly collectible. Check out the big round brass buffers!
