Brawa 44646 H0 railcar BR 426, 426 513-8 und 426 013-9, DB AG, Ep. VI, DC-sound

Brawa 44646 H0 Class 426 Railcar, DB AG, Era VI - Highly detailed model with integrated sound

The Brawa 44646 H0 Class 426 rail car is an exact replica of one of the most modern regional railcars operated by Deutsche Bahn AG. With a detailed design, digitally controllable lighting and a factory-installed Döhler & Haass sound decoder, this model brings the highest degree of prototypical fidelity to your model railroad layout. The combination of realistic lighting technology, excellent sound and fine engraving makes this railcar an enrichment for any modern H0 layout.

The prototype: Efficient local transport solution

The class 426 was developed as a two-car version of the class 425 for use on less frequented regional lines. Between 1999 and 2008, these vehicles were manufactured by a consortium consisting of Siemens, Adtranz, Bombardier and DWA. The lightweight extruded aluminum construction ensures high energy efficiency, while the car bodies are supported by Jacobs bogies. The modern design and spacious interior with 206 seats and 228 standing places make this railcar the ideal solution for fast regional services.

Versatile use on the German rail network

The Class 426 railcars are in use in many regions of Germany, including North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein. They are used both in S-Bahn services and on longer regional express routes such as Mannheim - Saarbrücken - Trier or Magdeburg - Stendal - Salzwedel. Thanks to their high acceleration and efficient operation, they are ideal for modern local passenger transport.

Brawa: Precision and quality at the highest level

Brawa stands for the highest model building quality and technical innovations. The Brawa 44646 H0 Class 426 railcar impresses with the finest printing, razor-sharp paintwork and numerous separately applied details. Particularly noteworthy are the separately applied high-voltage equipment, finely detailed air-conditioning boxes and the prototypical resting position of the pantograph. The three-dimensionally reproduced front and the fine engravings round off the realistic appearance.

Modern digital control with realistic sound

The model is factory-equipped with a Döhler & Haass decoder that reproduces realistic operating sounds. This includes typical driving noises, fan noises, signal horns and door closing signals. The direction of travel-dependent light change between a three-light headlamp and two red marker lights ensures an authentic representation during operation. The heated train destination displays are illuminated and can be controlled digitally.

High-quality interior lighting and driver's cab details

The interior lighting with warm white LEDs creates an atmospheric ambience and underlines the realistic reproduction of the passenger compartment. The driver's cab is detailed and also illuminated. Precisely fitted windows and finely printed window frames complete the high-quality appearance.

Driving behavior and flexibility

Thanks to the built-in flywheel mass, the model offers particularly smooth and even running characteristics. The close-coupling kinematics in accordance with NEM allows use in double traction and ensures a safe connection with other cars. With a length over buffers of 566 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the railcar is ideally suited for operation on modern H0 layouts.

Conclusion: Perfect combination of technology and attention to detail

The Brawa 44646 H0 BR 426 railcar sets new standards in terms of model railroad technology. With integrated sound, digitally controllable lighting and the finest detailing, this model is an enrichment for every Epoch VI layout. Anyone looking for a realistic representation of modern regional transportation will make an excellent choice with this railcar.
