Are you looking for a special highlight for your Era III freight train lineup? Then the Brawa BTmms 58 with Knorr advertising is just the right model for you!

A specialist in liquid freight transport for the German Federal Railroad

The BTmms 58 was developed specifically for transporting liquids in PA tanks. Derived from the BTms 55, this car went into series production starting in 1960. The five-tank configuration made it possible to increase the specific load weight—a real economic advantage for shippers.

Historical Significance

A total of 2,100 units of this car type were built by 1966. Equipped with a transfer platform or handbrake platform, the BTmms 58 was a typical representative of general cargo transport at the time. Particularly striking: the beer containers with their colorful advertising prints—a popular motif not only in real-world service but also in model railroading.

Ideal for Your Era III Layout

Whether in a mixed freight train or as a single car with advertising appeal—the Knorr tank car makes a strong visual statement. And it does so with exemplary technical accuracy down to the last detail.
