Brawa 50599 Behältertragwagen BTs 30 der DB, with Efkr 401 "Knorr", Ep. III Product Details

Description

About the model: The DB BTs 30 container wagon, with Efkr 401 "Knorr", Ep. III is a model from the popular model railway manufacturer BRAWA with the road number 010 221. The wagon impresses with its many lovingly placed details and features, making it a unique model and a highlight on every model railway layout. The model has individually applied brakes, grab irons and steps, metal switches and brake shoes at wheel level.

About the prototype: Even before the war, standardized large containers began to be transported to the customer by rail and road vehicles. However, the beginning of the Second World War put a stop to the further spread of the system. In 1949, DB took up the PA container system again and decided to introduce it on a large scale. While the containers were newly built, the underframes of various pre-war wagons were used for the coaches, which were available in abundance with war damage to the superstructures. The conversion included Omm 34 bogies, which were classified as BT(hs) 30 in a common number range with BT wagons from other donor wagons. After the conversion of a total of 273 BT 30s to various donor types, the exclusive construction of new container wagons began in 1952. Still renamed Lb(r)s577, the last converted BT 30 wagons left service in 1971. Numerous open and closed containers were built for a wide variety of loads, and there were also special containers for liquids, foodstuffs such as beer and the like, as well as for transporting frozen goods. From the end of the 1960s, increasingly squeezed by the emergence of containers, traffic with PA containers did not end until the end of the 1990s.
