With its built-in DC interior lighting and excellent workmanship, this express train car is a great addition to your models from the same era.

The prototype: The E 230 express train of the 1950s

The E 230 express train was a classic representative of the post-war express trains used by the German Federal Railroad from the late 1950s. The train was made up of a combination of old-build express train coaches and modern city express coaches (yl coaches), with this coach being part of the old-build section. The express train ran on the route from Dortmund main station via the Ruhr area to Cologne main station and was an indispensable means of transport for commuters and travelers at the time. The trains shaped the image of German express train traffic in the 1950s and were a characteristic feature of this era due to their different types of carriages.

The train locomotive was usually the class 01 or the class 03, including the famous 01 100, which was also faithfully reproduced. The E 230 express train took passengers through the Ruhr region, with stops in cities such as Herne, Gelsenkirchen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf. The train was a symbol of the fast and efficient long-distance transportation of the post-war period.

Model realization: Detailed reproduction of Era III

The Brawa 46216 AB4yswe passenger car has been realized in the exact scale of 1:87 for Era III and impresses with a multitude of details. The car is equipped with DC interior lighting that provides atmospheric lighting of the interior. The interior is complete and multi-colored, which gives the model an authentic character. Another highlight is the close coupling kinematics, which make it possible to couple the cars easily and form a realistic train formation on your model railroad layout.

Technical equipment and lighting

The model has DC interior lighting that evenly and realistically illuminates the interior of the car. The lighting is already installed and ready for immediate use on your model railroad layout. The interface for digital conversion is solderable, which allows easy adaptation to digital control systems if desired. However, the model is not intended for use with digital sound systems, which is typical of many classic Era III models.

Running characteristics and minimum radius

With a length over buffers of 239.8 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the Brawa 46216 passenger coach is ideally suited for use on most H0 model railroad layouts. The car is stable and runs evenly on the rails so that you can easily add it to your train set. The model has been developed for long durability and excellent running characteristics.

Conclusion: A highlight for every Era III model railroad layout

The Brawa 46216 H0 AB4yswe express train car is a must-have for all model railroaders who want to recreate the charm of Era III and the atmosphere of the post-war period on their layout.
