Brawa 46785 4er Set passenger car, DB, Ep.III

About the model: The set of 4 cars from Brawa consists of a command car, two 2nd class passenger cars, and a 1st/2nd class passenger car. Each car has a different road number and impresses with detailed paintwork and the finest printing. In addition, the cars have been equipped with prototypical interior fittings and extra steps. The installation of interior lighting has been prepared, making it very easy to retrofit. The set was produced on a scale of 1:87 and has a length of 640 mm.

About the prototype: The development of the two-axle standard through coaches of the replacement type is closely linked to the emergence of standardization of components in the railroad industry as a key industry in the 1920s. The Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) had set itself the goal of having wagon components manufactured according to the same specifications and conditions across all companies. The aim was to drastically reduce maintenance costs in its own factories and make components interchangeable. With this in mind, the DRG commissioned the Gesellschaft Deutscher Waggonfabriken (D.W.V.) to develop and supply the desired standardized through coaches. The requirement for replacement construction meant that around 1,400 drawings were no longer necessary for each individual type of wagon. Instead, there was a basic type on which the modified designs were based with approx. 150 drawings of their own. From 1928, almost 5,500 coaches of the various types BCi-28, Ci-28, CDi-29, Pwi-28, Ci-29 BCi-29, Pwi-29, Bi-29 and Ci-30 were built for passenger services in several delivery series. The coaches met the DRG's expectations. As a result, many older Länderbahn coaches and splitter classes were taken out of service. The running characteristics of the coaches, which were not particularly satisfactory for passengers, quickly earned them the well-known nickname "Donnerbüchsen" (thunderboxes). The chaos of war inevitably led to many European railroad companies subsequently also having two-axle standard through coaches in their fleets. What they all had in common, however, was that the coaches were withdrawn from the general maintenance stock towards the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. The wagons that still exist today are very popular with various museum railroads at home and abroad.
