From the Beginning - respectively 1956 until the bitter End

At the 2-axle Chassis the overall length is 85 mm, the axle distance is 25 Millimeters and used at small Freigt Cars, e.g. 001 Tipper, 501 through 509 as well as for all small Battery Tenders.
 
2-axle Chassis, bottom side, marked "Made in US Zone Germany" and "Germany" - 2 different fonts and sizes known 2-axle Chassis, bottom side - no marking. What the 2 punched holes each side of the buffer are good for is yet to my knowledge. Came to me as seen here.
