A Modern Addition to Your H0 Layout – Brawa 44572 H0 Double-Deck Center Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI

Would you like to realistically expand your Metronom train set? The Brawa 44572 H0 Double-Deck Center Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI is the perfect addition—with a prototypical appearance, well-designed technology, and the highest level of detail. Ideal for anyone who wants to realistically recreate modern regional trains in 1:87 scale.

Prototype-accurate reproduction of the Metronom RE 3

The center car with road number 50 80 96-73 502-4 is modeled after its service on the RE 3 regional express departing from Hamburg Central Station. The model is based on Bombardier’s TWINDEXX Vario® platform, which is used in modern double-decker cars operated by DB and Metronom—featuring a high standard of comfort and clean lines.

Illuminated Features and Digital Readiness

The car features warm-white LED interior lighting and illuminated destination displays. The driver’s cab is also illuminated, which is particularly striking during nighttime operation. In digital mode, the ZugBUS functions are available, including automatic vehicle recognition within the train set and central control of all lighting functions.

Material Quality & Detailed Workmanship

The model is made of high-quality, impact-resistant plastic and features a metal base plate. Fine printing, attached windshield wipers, and multi-piece bogies ensure a realistic appearance. Metal-mounted axles guarantee a smooth ride.

Perfectly Matched Design

The paint scheme is precisely matched to the BRAWA TRAXX BR 146.5 electric locomotive —ideal if you want to display a complete Metronom train set. The complete interior, scale-accurate window frames, and the faithful reproduction of the front design make this car a visual highlight on your layout.

The Prototype: IC2 Comfort on Two Levels

Since 2010, DB Fernverkehr and private rail operators such as Metronom have relied on the TWINDEXX Vario® double-decker cars. With up to 468 seats per train, spacious interiors, and a top speed of 160 km/h, they offer modern travel comfort. On the Metronom network, they form the backbone of many regional connections around Hamburg.

Ideal for modern model railroad layouts

Whether as an addition to an existing train set or as a starting point for Era VI—the Brawa 44572 middle car impresses with its quality, technology, and appearance. A must-have for model railroaders who want to faithfully reproduce current regional trains.
