Brawa 40874 H0 Steam locomotive BR 57.10, 57 3090, DRG, Ep. II, DC-Sound-Extra: A masterpiece of model making with impressive sound

The Brawa 40874 H0 steam locomotive class 57.10 is a detailed and technically sophisticated replica of the legendary freight locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft from Era II. With a built-in sound decoder, a prototypical look and extensive lighting functions, this locomotive will be the highlight of any model railroad layout.

Historical background: The development of the BR 57.10

The BR 57.10-35 steam locomotive, originally known as the Prussian G10, was one of the most important locomotives for heavy goods traffic. A total of 2,358 locomotives were built, which were used on lines with a weaker superstructure but a high volume of freight traffic. The locomotive played a particularly important role in the regions of Essen, Wuppertal, Breslau, Erfurt, Hanover and Kassel. It also quickly became popular in Bavaria with locations in Augsburg, Munich and Nuremberg.

Its robust design and reliable performance made the BR 57.10-35 an indispensable part of German railroad history. It proved its worth both in domestic traffic and when transporting heavy loads over long distances.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality materials

The model of the Brawa 40874 BR 57.10 is largely made of metal, which gives it impressive stability and durability. The precise detailing, finest printing and paintwork as well as the realistic running gear make this model a masterpiece of the art of model making. The close coupling kinematics and the NEM coupling shaft allow flexible coupling processes and ensure easy connection to other wagons or locomotives.

Lighting and digital functions

The model is equipped with maintenance-free LEDs that enable a prototypical light change between white two-light headlights depending on the direction of travel. The built-in interior lighting provides additional authenticity and makes the driver's cab visible even in the dark. Thanks to the stabilized power supply, the light remains flicker-free and reliable.

Sound and control with state-of-the-art technology

The heart of this model is the high-quality sound decoder from Döhler & Haass. The construction series-specific sound is reproduced realistically using 16-bit technology with several channels. From the typical steam locomotive noises to horns and shunting noises, you will experience an authentic sound experience. It is controlled via all common digital systems such as DCC, making it easy to integrate into existing layouts.

Driving characteristics and smoke generator

The locomotive is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm, although a radius of 420 mm is recommended for optimum driving characteristics. Four traction tires and a flywheel mass ensure smooth running characteristics and excellent grip even with heavy trains. The model is also prepared for the installation of a Seuthe No. 20 smoke generator, which perfectly complements the steam experience on your layout.

Why the Brawa 40874 steam locomotive is the ideal choice

The combination of precise reproduction, state-of-the-art digital technology and outstanding running characteristics makes this locomotive an absolute highlight. Whether as the draft horse of a heavy freight train or as an eye-catcher in your collection - the BR 57.10 impresses with its authenticity and versatility.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive requires only minimal maintenance. The maintenance-free LEDs and the robust metal construction ensure a long service life. It is recommended that the wheels and running gear are regularly cleaned of dirt to ensure optimum running characteristics. The smoke generator should also be checked regularly to ensure a smooth steam experience.

Conclusion: A steam locomotive that combines history and technology

The Brawa 40874 H0 steam locomotive BR 57.10 is a perfect combination of historical precision and state-of-the-art technology. Its impressive sound, the high-quality materials and the possibility of individual expansion make it a must-have for every model railway enthusiast.
