Brawa 44644 H0 railcar BR 426, 426 513-8 und 426 013-9, DB AG, Ep. VI

Brawa 44644 H0 Class 426 Railcar, DB AG, Era VI - Modern commuter rail service on your model railroad layout

The Brawa 44644 H0 Class 426 rail car is a detailed reproduction of the two-part class 426 electric railcar from Deutsche Bahn AG. This regional train impresses with its high precision and its realistic reproduction on a scale of 1:87. Thanks to the modern LED interior lighting, the finely engraved details and the prototypical roof equipment, this model brings the modern railroad technology of Era VI to your layout.

The prototype: Efficiency and comfort in regional transportation

The class 426 was developed to efficiently serve less frequented regional routes. As a two-part variant of the 425 series, it was produced between 1999 and 2008 by a consortium consisting of Siemens, Bombardier and DWA. The car body consists of extruded aluminum profiles, the windows are glued flush, and the car bodies are connected to each other with Jacobs bogies. Thanks to this modern design, the railcars offer high energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements and a large capacity with 206 seats and 228 standing places.

Areas of use for the 426 series

These railcars are used by DB Regio in various regions of Germany, including North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin. They are used in S-Bahn services, for example in the Rhine-Neckar region, as well as in regional express services on longer routes such as Mannheim - Saarbrücken - Trier or Magdeburg - Stendal - Salzwedel. Thanks to the combination of high acceleration and good energy efficiency, they are ideally suited for modern local transportation.

Brawa: Precision and quality in model making

The manufacturer Brawa stands for excellent quality and the highest level of detail in model making. The Brawa 44644 H0 BR 426 railcar sets new standards in terms of precision and realistic reproduction. In addition to the elaborate printing and paintwork, this model impresses with many separately applied details, including the filigree reproduction of the high-voltage equipment, the individually applied windshield wipers and the finely detailed pantograph in a prototypical resting position.

Modern technology for the highest model railroad demands

The railcar is prepared for digital conversion and has a PluX22 interface to facilitate the installation of a decoder. The LED interior lighting provides a prototypical atmosphere in the passenger compartment. The front lighting changes between a three-light headlight and two red tail lights depending on the direction of travel. In addition, the train destination displays are functionally illuminated and integrated behind the windshield, providing an even more realistic representation.

Driving behavior and flexibility

The model is equipped with a flywheel that ensures particularly smooth running characteristics. The close-coupling kinematics in accordance with NEM enable use in double traction and prototypical train formation. With a length over buffers of 566 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the model is suitable for operation on almost any H0 layout.

Conclusion: A must for modern model railroad layouts

The Brawa 44644 H0 BR 426 railcar is a high-quality model for anyone who wants to recreate modern regional transportation on their layout. With its detailed equipment, functional LED lighting and high-quality workmanship, this railcar is an enrichment for any H0 layout. Thanks to the option of digitization and sound retrofitting, the model is particularly flexible in use.
