“Reko” coaches are railway wagons made of remains of railway wagons from the pre-war period. Due to a shortage of materials, the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the GDR was forced to reuse parts of the old wagons. With reconstruction (short “Reko” in German) wasn’t meant restoration or reproduction of an earlier state, but a thorough modernization.
There are “Reko” coaches with 2, 3 and 4 axles.
