The prototype: The development of the Karlsruhe head

The early DB n-cars were constantly developed further through conversion and modernization programmes. Due to a lack of space and safety concerns, the "Karlsruher Kopf" was created in the 1970s in the Karlsruhe repair workshop, replacing the previous "Hasenkasten". These control cars played a central role in push-pull train operation, as they made it possible to change direction quickly and significantly increased DB's operating efficiency.

Detailed realization by Brawa

The BDnrzf738 control car has been reproduced with great attention to detail by the renowned model railroad manufacturer Brawa. The highlights include the precise reproduction of the roof weld seams, finely engraved details and a prototypical interior. The precisely reproduced design differences on the roof and car floor ensure an authentic appearance.

Technical equipment for smooth running

The model is equipped with close-coupling kinematics in accordance with NEM, which easily masters tight curve radii. The multi-part brake system and the precisely crafted bogies guarantee optimum driving characteristics. The robust design and high-quality workmanship make this control car a highly functional component of your model railroad layout.

Thanks to its versatility, it fits seamlessly into various train formations and gives your layout an authentic historical touch.

Care and maintenance

Dust should be removed from the model regularly with a soft cloth or brush. The bogies and axles can be lubricated if necessary to ensure optimum running characteristics. The close coupling should also be checked regularly to ensure smooth operation.
