Description

Brawa 40998 H0 Steam Locomotive 01 001, DRG, Ep. II, DC-Sound-Extra: The perfect combination of history and technology

The Brawa 40998 H0 steam locomotive 01 001 offers a realistic and powerful driving experience on your model railroad layout. This highly detailed replica of the first German unified express train locomotive from Era II combines historical authenticity with state-of-the-art technology, including a built-in sound decoder and numerous digital functions.

Historical background: The birth of the express train era

The 01 001 was the first class 01 locomotive to be delivered and was manufactured by Borsig in 1926. It ushered in a new era in German express train transportation and became known for its high performance and reliability. Initially, there were still restrictions on its use due to the high axle load of 20 tons, but these were quickly overcome by the expansion of the rail network. The 01 series soon became the backbone of German long-distance transportation and remains an icon of railroad history to this day.

Detailed construction and high-quality materials

The model consists of a finely detailed boiler, driver's cab and tender, which are made of high-quality plastic. The openwork bar frame and the spoked wheels are made of die-cast zinc and ensure a high level of stability. Filigree metal driving and coupling rods as well as individually attached steps and treads round off the realistic appearance. The true-to-original reproduction of the standing boiler rear wall and the period-appropriate lighting provide additional authenticity.

Sound and digital functions: An acoustic masterpiece

The built-in sound decoder from Döhler & Haass provides a realistic sound experience that will delight steam locomotive fans. The typical steam locomotive sounds such as steam puffing, horns and engine noises are precisely coordinated. The integrated flickering fire and engine lighting (Digital EXTRA version) enhance the authentic experience.

Lighting and driving comfort

The locomotive has a two-light headlight that changes in the direction of travel and interior lighting in the driver's cab. The maintenance-free LEDs ensure a long service life and maintenance-free operation. The close coupling between the locomotive and tender allows flexible use on different train combinations.

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 running characteristics. The four traction tires guarantee excellent traction even with heavy trains. The smoke generator of the Seuthe No. 20 can easily be retrofitted to simulate the steam exhaust and make the driving appearance even more realistic.

Why the Brawa 40998 steam locomotive is a highlight on your layout

This steam locomotive is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a tribute to the golden era of express train transportation. Thanks to its attention to detail, impressive sound and high-quality workmanship, it is an absolute must-have for collectors and model railroaders.

Care and maintenance

The robust construction ensures a long service life, but the running gear and wheels should be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum running characteristics. The smoke generator, if fitted, should also be checked regularly.

Conclusion: A masterful replica of the first express train locomotive

The Brawa 40998 H0 steam locomotive 01 001 offers a perfect combination of a nostalgic look and modern technology. With its high-quality sound, precise attention to detail and versatile functions, it will be the highlight of any model railroad layout.
