GLc
Description
The GLc class was a true successor to the original GL class. Starting in early 1923, these were GL cars whose underframe was strengthened, as the original cars had a weakness there. All GL cars were converted by 1935. From a modeling perspective, there is no visual difference between these two classes. Since I model 1924, I could potentially have a few of these cars.
