Brawa 49361 DB Xr 35 Work Car, Era III Product Details

Description

A Model to Follow: Work cars have always been indispensable to the railroad. For example, they were used at every construction site, no matter how small, to transport building materials such as ballast or tools. However, since these so-called X-cars could not generate revenue by transporting goods for third parties, the focus from the very beginning was on finding cost-effective solutions for acquiring work cars. The obvious solution was to convert older-model cars into work cars and adapt them to the new requirements. Due to constantly changing demand and the retirement of worn-out cars, the number of X-cars fluctuated significantly, ranging from approximately 48,500 (1920), 25,000 (1930); 41,500 (1943); and 15,000 (1953). The Xr 35 model chosen by BRAWA is based on Gms 30-type cars that lost their car bodies in the early 1950s—or even earlier due to war damage. The remaining undercarriages were fitted with new, fixed side walls, thereby adapting the cars to their new areas of operation.
