Brawa 45269 H0 C4 Compartment Car, K.P.E.V., Era I – A Stylish Prussian Standard Passenger Car

With the C4 compartment car from the Royal Prussian Railway Administration (K.P.E.V.), Brawa brings a classic passenger car from the early days of German railways to your H0 layout. This model captures the essence of early passenger rail travel and combines an authentic prototype with high-quality details—perfect for any historical train set from Era I.

Prussian Standard Car: Comfort in Early Rail Travel

For a long time, Prussian compartment cars were a defining feature of long-distance and commuter service on the main lines. In particular, the third-class cars based on drawing D.I.23 were built and deployed in large numbers. Their robust construction and functional details helped ensure the reliable handling of the heavy traffic between cities and regions.

Typical Design with Character

For ventilation, these cars featured skylight slits that were protected on the outside by Bachmann caps and could be opened on the inside using sliders—a distinctive feature of Prussian design. Felt pads between the underframe and the car body provided noticeably better comfort at the time compared to earlier designs.

Model with fine detailing and lighting option

The Brawa model impresses with its precise printing and paint finish, individually attached vents, and numerous finely detailed handrails. The interior fittings are pre-installed and prepared for optional interior lighting—ideal for realistic day and night operating scenarios. Thanks to its close-coupling mechanism, the car can be easily integrated into nearly any train formation.
