For modern AC layouts – Brawa 44578 H0 Double-Deck Center Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI, AC Digital

Do you operate a digital AC layout and want to authentically expand your Metronom train? Then the Brawa 44578 H0 Double-Deck Center Car Dbdpza, Metronom, Era VI, AC-Digital is exactly the right model for you. Equipped with digitally controllable LED lighting, ZugBUS functionality, and a prototypical appearance, this middle car is the perfect addition to your Era VI train set.

Faithful reproduction of the Metronom RE 3

The car bears the road number 50 80 96-73 501-6 and is modeled after service on the RE 3 regional line from Hamburg Central Station. As part of Bombardier’s TWINDEXX Vario® series, the model meets all the requirements of modern regional rail service—in exact 1:87 scale and with a length over buffers of 303 mm.

Digital Technology & Lighting Features

The middle car comes factory-equipped with digital technology and features warm-white LED interior lighting, illuminated destination displays, and an illuminated driver’s cab. The red/white light sequence changes depending on the direction of travel. The ZugBUS function automatically detects the lead and trailing cars in the train set and allows all lighting functions to be controlled centrally in digital mode.

Materials & Detail

The car body is made of high-quality, impact-resistant plastic and features a metal base plate for added stability. Fine printing, precisely fitted windows, multi-part bogies, and attached details such as windshield wipers ensure a realistic appearance. The paint scheme is coordinated with the BRAWA TRAXX BR 146.5 electric locomotive.

The Prototype: TWINDEXX Vario® in Modern Long-Distance & Regional Rail Service

Since 2010, Bombardier has been setting new standards with the TWINDEXX Vario® platform. These double-decker trains offer 468 seats, a top speed of 160 km/h, and are used in both local and long-distance service—including by Metronom, where they operate in northern Germany with their distinctive color scheme.

For discerning digital AC model railroading enthusiasts
