Brawa 49620 H0 Type Uerdingen lightweight tank car, DRG, Era II: Detailed model of a historic tank car
The Brawa 49620 type Uerdingen lightweight tank car of the German State Railroad Company (DRG) is a detailed reproduction of an early tank car from Era II. With its precise printing, realistic gray paintwork and finely worked details, this model authentically reflects the technical features of the war years. A highlight for collectors and model railroaders who would like to add historic freight cars to their layout.
Development of the lightweight tank wagons of the Uerdingen type
At the end of the 1930s, the Uerdingen and Cologne-Deutz wagon factories developed lightweight tank wagons in order to meet the high demand for fuel transportation and at the same time make the best possible use of the scarce steel available. The Uerdingen design relied on self-supporting boilers and longitudinal beams made of folded profiles, which enabled efficient weight distribution. The wagon shown here was used in Era II and was used by the military to transport crude oil and fuel, among other things. After the war, some of these wagons were preserved and were used by various railroad companies, thus representing a piece of railroad history.
Prototypical design and numerous fine details
The Brawa 49620 impresses with its finely coordinated paint scheme in gray and the road number "Wien 920 155 [P]", which refers to the original vehicle. The car is equipped with finely engraved bogies that precisely reflect the technical standard of the time. The brake system and the axle brake linkage in particular are specially applied and detailed. These intricate details lend the model a high degree of authenticity and make it an impressive collector's item.
High-quality equipment and flexible use on the layout
The pressed sheet metal bogies with three-point bearings ensure stable running and enable realistic representation on your model railway layout. Thanks to the close coupling kinematics, the tank wagon can be easily integrated into train formations and ensures a harmonious connection with other wagons. The robust metal wheels guarantee a long service life and stable running characteristics, ensuring smooth operation in continuous use.
