Brawa 43454 Ellok BR E44 der DB, Ep. III (analog)

Brawa 43454 H0 DB class E44 electric locomotive, Era III: A classic of the German Federal Railroad

The Brawa 43454 H0 Class E44 electric locomotive is a detailed reproduction of the class E44 electric locomotive that was used by the German Federal Railroad (DB) in Era III. This prototypical model impresses with its high level of detail, including the exact reproduction of the road number "E44 1161 BD Karlsruhe; Bw Freiburg" as well as the period-appropriate paintwork and printing. With a length over buffers of 175.5 mm and numerous technical features, the locomotive brings a touch of railroad history to your H0 model railway layout.

The class E44 locomotive was known for its versatility and reliability in mainline and shunting service. With its robust construction and characteristic shape, the E44 shaped the image of the early electric locomotives of the German Federal Railroad and became a symbol of electrification in the railroad system. The Brawa model reproduces this prototype in high quality and offers numerous options for analog operation, whereby it is already prepared for sound retrofitting.

The prototype: The class E44 of the German Federal Railroad

The class E44 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and later the Deutsche Bundesbahn was one of the first mass-produced electric locomotives for mixed operation. It was developed in the 1930s and was mainly intended for use in passenger trains and freight traffic on electrified lines. With a top speed of 90 km/h and a robust design, the E44 became a versatile locomotive that proved particularly effective on lines with gradients.

The E44 was in service for decades and made a significant contribution to the development of electric rail transport in Germany. In Era III, after the Second World War, the locomotive continued to be used by the German Federal Railroad, and many units of this class were given new road numbers and paint schemes to meet modern requirements. The model of the E44 with the road number "E44 1161 BD Karlsruhe; Bw Freiburg" represents this era and shows the locomotive in the condition of the early 1960s.

Brawa: Quality and attention to detail for model railroaders

Brawa is a renowned manufacturer of model railroads, known for its attention to detail and its high-quality model realizations. The Brawa 43454 H0 locomotive BR E44 is another example of the high level of craftsmanship that Brawa incorporates into each of its models. The locomotive impresses with its precise reproduction, including finely crafted details such as attached metal grab irons and free-standing roof lines.
