Brawa 44571 H0 Doppelstock-Mittelwagen Dbdpza, Metronom, Ep. VI

Modern, true to detail, and fully compatible – Brawa 44571 H0 Double-Deck Center Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI

Are you expanding your Metronom train set or looking for a perfectly matched middle car for modern regional service? The Brawa 44571 H0 Double-Deck Middle Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI is the ideal addition to your H0 layout. With high-quality craftsmanship, precise scale accuracy, and features designed for digital operation, this car blends seamlessly into modern model railroad scenarios.

A Model True to the Original

The middle car with road number 50 80 96-73 501-6 is an exact replica of the Metronom Regional Express RE 3, which operates on the Hamburg Central Station route. Like the original, this model is based on the TWINDEXX Vario® system, which was developed specifically for local and long-distance service.

Lighting & Digital Compatibility

Thanks to warm-white LEDs, the car features separately switchable interior lighting and illuminated destination displays that really stand out in digital operation. The driver’s cab is also illuminated. The car supports ZugBUS technology, which allows all functions to be controlled centrally in digital operation and enables automatic detection of the lead and trailing cars.

Technology & Materials

Manufactured from high-quality, impact-resistant plastic and equipped with a metal base plate, the car offers excellent running characteristics and stability. The axles are mounted on metal bearings, and multi-part bogies ensure a prototypical appearance. Fine printing, attached windshield wipers, and precisely fitted windows round out the first-class craftsmanship.

Design at the Highest Level

The paint scheme is precisely matched to the BRAWA TRAXX BR 146.5 electric locomotive and helps create a unified look for your train set. The three-dimensional front design and the complete interior —including the driver’s cab—also highlight the high level of detail in this model.

The Prototype: Double-Deck Comfort for Local and Long-Distance Service

The TWINDEXX Vario® cars represent modern train concepts with high seating capacity and amenities comparable to those on ICE trains. In service since 2010, they offer 468 seats per train—70 of which are in first class—and reach a top speed of 160 km/h. Metronom uses these cars for commuter service, while DB Fernverkehr operates them as Intercity 2 trains.

For sophisticated H0 layouts

The Brawa 44571 double-decker middle car is ideal for anyone who values prototypical accuracy, technical quality, and a contemporary representation of regional trains. Combine it with other cars and the matching locomotive to complete your Metronom train set in true style.
