History of the Uerdingen type lightweight tank car

The lightweight tank wagons of the Uerdingen design were created in 1939/40 when the Uerdingen and Cologne-Deutz wagon factories developed four-axle tank wagons for war-related fuel transportation. The self-supporting construction and the long beams made the design particularly efficient and suitable for the transportation of crude oil and fuels. Many of these wagons remained in Europe after the war and continued to be used. The wagon shown here was used by VTG, which emerged from the former Wifo in 1951 and was used in Austria for mineral oil transportation by ÖBB. These vehicles were heavily represented in the industrial and freight traffic of Era IV and represented an important link in the supply chain.

Detailed design and fine engravings

The Brawa 49626 gas tank car is painted in an authentic gray and has precise lettering that faithfully reproduces the road number and all of the characteristic markings. The finely engraved bogies and the detailed brake systems show the high-quality workmanship that Brawa has put into this model. The model is equipped with free-standing grab irons, specially attached axle brake rods and spring assemblies, which further emphasizes the realistic representation.

Bogie with three-point bearing and functional close-coupling kinematics

The model is built on pressed sheet metal bogies with three-point bearings, which ensures high running safety and stable handling on the layout. The close-coupling kinematics in accordance with NEM allow easy connection to other wagons, ideal for use in realistic freight train formations. The wagon can also be used on narrower track radii from 360 mm and thus offers flexible usability on a wide variety of system layouts.
