LGB 48180 G 4er set of rolling stands of DR
Soon after the construction of the first narrow gauge railways, the problem arose that goods had to be transferred to the transition stations. One of them was to load the complete standard wagons onto so-called rolling stands. Such a roller-stand is a small narrow-gauge vehicle on which a wheel set of the normal track wagon is loaded. For a two-axle wagon, two rolling stands are required. In some cases, the roller stands were equipped with the appropriate braking system of the narrow gauge railway (compressed air, suction air, cable-train brake), but there were also unbraked roller stands. As a rule, only goods wagons were loaded on rolling stands, but this was not usual for passenger cars. Even today - especially in Switzerland - rolling stands are still used for loading freight cars. Set consisting of four jack stands, as used in many narrow gauge railways and still partly today. Complete new-construction A two-axle wagon can be loaded on two roll stands, both wagons with 64 mm track width and normal LGB wagons can be loaded. The roller stands or the wagons loaded on them are coupled with each other and to the locomotive or to a wagon with normal LGB coupling true to the original with the attached coupling rods. Length of a roll-up block 10 cm. Can be used with many narrow gauge railways.This text is machine translated.
