Brawa 50829 Train set E 1642 with class 216 and passenger train, DB, Ep.IV, DC-Sound-Extra: A piece of railroad history for your model railroad layout

The Brawa 50829 train set E 1642 brings a historic "rear express train" of the German Federal Railroad from 1974 to your model railway layout. Express trains like the E 1642 were introduced in the 1950s to provide travelers from rural regions with a fast and direct connection to large cities. These trains, which ran away from the major main lines, were particularly popular in structurally weak areas. This train set represents one of those connections that ran from Braunschweig to Aachen and played an important role in regional transportation.

Prototype of the E 1642 train: A typical rear-end express train of the 1970s

The E 1642 rear-end fast train is a classic example of Deutsche Bundesbahn's efforts to better connect remote regions to the national rail network. In 1974, this train ran from Braunschweig via Kreiensen, Holzminden, Wehrden (Weser), Beverungen, Scherfede, Brilon Wald, Schwerte, Hagen, Wuppertal and Cologne to Aachen. It offered passengers the opportunity to travel directly from rural areas to the major cities without having to change trains frequently. These connections, known as "Heckeneilzüge", often ran away from the main lines, which gave them their special name.

The class 216 diesel locomotive that hauled this train was one of the most widely used diesel locomotives in passenger and freight transport on the German Federal Railways. Its reliability and versatility made it a popular choice for routes that were not electrified. In combination with the comfortable passenger cars, the E 1642 was an attractive way to travel.

Brawa: True-to-scale model reproduction with the highest level of detail

The Brawa company is known for its precise and detailed models, and the E 1642 train set with the class 216 diesel locomotive is no exception. Every element of this set is manufactured with great care to reproduce the prototype from Era IV of the German Federal Railroad as authentically as possible. The class 216 diesel locomotive bears the road number 216 209-7 and is equipped with a variety of technical functions that make the model attractive for both analog and digital model railway layouts.

The model of the class 216 has digitally switchable headlights and cab lighting. Thanks to the built-in DCC interface, the functions can be easily and conveniently controlled via digital control. The realistic sound effects, which are reproduced via the integrated sound decoder, make the driving experience particularly lively.

Technical details of the Brawa 50829 BR 216 and the train set

The Brawa 50829 E 1642 train set not only offers an authentic replica on the outside, but also impresses with a wealth of technical functions. The class 216 diesel locomotive is equipped with a PluX22 interface that makes it possible to equip the model with a digital decoder and thus control the various lighting and sound functions. The interior of the passenger coaches is reproduced in detail and is made even more realistic by the interior lighting. In addition to the class 216 diesel locomotive, this set also includes a baggage car and several 1st and 2nd class passenger cars.

The locomotive and the cars are equipped with NEM 362 coupler shafts and close coupler linkages, which ensures a safe and stable connection between the cars. The light change depending on the direction of travel as well as the separately switchable headlights and marker lights contribute to the authentic representation of train operation. The length over buffers and the minimum radius are perfectly matched to H0 model railway layouts so that the set is also ideal for use on smaller layouts.

Versatile use on your model railroad layout

With the Brawa 50829 E 1642 train set, you get a versatile train set for your model railroad layout. The model is ideal for use on H0 layouts and is a highlight both visually and technically.

Thanks to the detailed interior and the digitally switchable lighting elements, you can also realistically stage the model when running at night.

The combination of diesel locomotive and the four wagons included makes the train set particularly versatile. You can use the E 1642 as a stand-alone passenger train or combine it with other cars from your collection to create individual train compositions. The detailed sound and lighting functions provide a realistic driving experience that will delight both beginners and experienced model railroaders.
