Brawa 40677 H0 Diesel Locomotive 236 118-6, DB, Ep. IV, AC-Sound-Extra: Historical authenticity and the latest digital technology

The Brawa 40677 H0 diesel locomotive 236 118-6 is a masterpiece of model making that combines the history of the class 236 with modern digital and sound technology. This German Federal Railroad locomotive from Era IV is equipped with a class-specific sound, extensive lighting functions and a prototypical detailed design that makes it a highlight on any H0 model railroad layout.

Historical development: From military use to the German Federal Railroad

The WR 360 C 14 diesel locomotive, later known as the V36 series and finally as the 236 series, was developed from the end of the 1930s. The main requirement was a smoke-free locomotive that could not be easily detected on military installations. During the Second World War, 245 units were built and used worldwide. After the war, the Deutsche Bundesbahn took over many of these locomotives and used them primarily for shunting and suburban services.

Over time, many locomotives received modifications such as adjustable radiator blinds, larger cooling water expansion tanks and simplified reversing train controls. The last class 236 remained in service with DB until 1981 before being replaced by more modern locomotives. Several examples are still in service on museum railroads today.

Detailed replica and high-quality materials

The model impresses with its exact replica of the original. The etched radiator guard, the free-standing grab rails and the finely detailed steps underline the exceptional attention to detail. The unobstructed view through the driver's cab provides a view of the precisely designed interior. The finest printing and true-to-original paintwork round off the authentic appearance.

The frame and wheels are made of robust metal, while the body is made of high-quality plastic. This combination of materials ensures stability and a realistic appearance that will enhance any model railway layout.

Extensive lighting and digital functions

The locomotive is equipped with maintenance-free LEDs and offers a prototypical light change between red and white. In the digital version (EXTRA), extensive lighting functions are available, including shunting light, driver's cab lighting and individually switchable tail lights. A stabilized 5V power supply ensures that the light remains flicker-free - even with changing power voltages.

High-quality sound and digital control

The model is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital decoder from Döhler & Haass, which reproduces sounds specific to the model series. Thanks to the 16-bit sound technology with up to 8 independent channels, the locomotive offers a realistic sound experience. From the characteristic engine noise to typical shunting sounds - the locomotive brings authentic railroad operation to your layout.

The locomotive is compatible with all common digital systems such as DCC, Motorola, SX1 and SX2. The enclosed locomotive card makes it easier to recognize the function symbols in Mfx operation and makes control particularly convenient.

Optimum running characteristics and remote-controlled coupling system

The three-point suspension of the running gear ensures excellent running characteristics even on uneven tracks. The locomotive is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm and can therefore also be used on compact layouts without any problems. The digital hook coupling, which is integrated into the NEM shaft, enables flexible and simple coupling - ideal for shunting operations.

Why the Brawa 40677 diesel locomotive is the perfect choice

The combination of historical attention to detail, state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality materials makes the Brawa 40677 diesel locomotive a must-have for every discerning model railroader. With its realistic sound, extensive lighting functions and excellent running characteristics, it is suitable for shunting as well as for use in front of freight trains or in suburban traffic.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt, especially the wheels, couplings and running gear. The LEDs are maintenance-free and the digital decoder does not require any additional settings. With intensive use, it is advisable to check the coupling system occasionally to ensure optimum operation.
