Description

Brawa 40966 H0 Steam Locomotive 02 010, DRG, Era II, DC-Sound-Extra: Unique piece of technical history with digital precision

With the Brawa 40966 H0 steam locomotive 02 010, BRAWA brings an extraordinary model to the model railroad layout - an exciting chapter in the history of technology of the German Reichsbahn. Parallel to the well-known class 01, the class 02 was developed as a four-cylinder compound design in order to test the efficiency of compound technology in express train service. Between 1925 and 1937, the differences to the twin design of the BR 01 were tested under everyday conditions - but ultimately design weaknesses and high maintenance costs prevented series production. Only ten locomotives were built, including the 02 010 presented here.

The model depicts the locomotive in the condition of Era II, i.e. before its conversion to the BR 01, which all ten BR 02s underwent between 1937 and 1942 at the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk Meiningen. This precise replica impresses with many technical and visual refinements - a must for lovers of historical steam technology and model builders who demand the highest level of fidelity to the original.

The body of the model is made of impact-resistant plastic, combined with an openwork die-cast zinc frame. The spoked wheels and filigree metal driving and coupling rods underline the high-quality workmanship. The drive is located in the tender and ensures excellent running characteristics, supported by individual metal axle bearings and a true-to-scale wheelbase. A close coupler between the locomotive and tender as well as a standard guide shaft at the end of the tender ensure an optimal train connection.

The locomotive is also excellently equipped technically: The DC Sound Extra version is equipped with a high-quality digital decoder including sound function. A prototypical standing boiler rear wall and the lighting typical of the era round off the model harmoniously. The Brawa 40966 is ideally suited for DC layouts and can be perfectly integrated into existing H0 layouts thanks to modern digital technology.

Secure this special piece of railroad history for yourself - the Brawa 40966 is a fascinating one-of-a-kind model from the early days of the German Reichsbahn that will inspire you with its technical complexity and stylish design!
