Once delivery of the Glmhs 50 had been completed, the design was revised which resulted in the load capacity increasing by 5 t. The only difference on the outside of the wagons was the rope anchors which replaced the rope eyelets from the previous versions. A total of 1,315 wagons were built between 1960 and 1962. 200 of them were equipped with an automatic loaded braking system and a double brake chock. Equipped in such a manner, these wagons ran in passenger trains with a striking “GEP I/II” address. A total of 952 wagons of both versions were assumed by DB AG in 1994 and were phased out by 2005.
