Weathered Gs219 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

In 1949, the International Union of Railways (UIC) established its own research and development institute, the ORE. This laid the groundwork for freight cars suitable for international use, on the basis of which European railway administrations developed their own car designs.

Starting in 1957, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put the first genuine UIC standard cars into service with the Gmm(e)hs 56. Later, new construction and retrofit programs led to the development of various related car types that shaped freight transportation in Europe for many years.

Fine details for prototypical freight trains

The H0 model features metal wheels, metal axle boxes, and separately attached handrails and axle box covers. The multi-part braking system, brake shoes at wheel level, and the prototypical braking system on the car floor ensure a harmonious appearance within the train formation.

Get the Brawa 50159 H0 Covered Freight Car Gs219, DB, Era IV, weathered, and expand your DB freight train fleet with a realistically aged car featuring high-quality detailing.
