A model of DSB's (Danish State Railways) Class AU from 1932 can now be downloaded for free from https://galleri-cs.dk/trainsim.php . Customized for Open Rails / MSTS. Epoch II and III variants with vacuum and air brakes, and open and closed canopies. Also, the related ReadMe file can be downloaded separately for preview.

In terms of railway history, these wagons are quite interesting:

Firstly, they were among the first steel wagons purchased by DSB. It was riveted steel, because at the time it was not possible to weld plates. The undercarriage was also something new and modern: 3 m riveted steel bogies with a maximum speed of 120 km/h allowed for express trains.

Secondly, they were used as transit wagons to Germany and Sweden. Therefore, they had both 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes. For the sake of international application, the cars were equipped with two brake systems: vacuum and compressed air. Also, there were ferry brackets so that they could be carried over by ferry. This was also something new, because of the limited ferry capacity, passenger cars were not usually carried over.

Enjoy!
