Tipper, numbered from 1 through 9, chassis and tipper light Green, the tipper was removable from the chassis. 3 versions known so far:

1. tipper inside initially Rubin Red (RAL 3003), the holding pins were blackened

2. approx. 1950 and later Fire Red, (RAL 3000), the holding pins were blackened

3. as described at 2. - now the holding pins are metallic blank

The tippers were the first models ever issued - and it should last until 1953 before other wagons were emitted.
