Brawa 50830 Train Set E 1642 with Class 216 and Passenger Train: A Highlight of DB Era IV

The Brawa 50830 train set E 1642 with the class 216 diesel locomotive and a complete passenger train brings the fascination of the German Federal Railroad (DB) of the 1970s to your model railway layout. As one of the famous "Heckeneilzug" express trains, the E 1642 express train ran from Braunschweig to Aachen in 1974 and offered passengers a direct connection away from the major main lines. This train set represents a typical travel culture of Era IV and impresses with its authentic reproduction, the integrated sound and the excellent technology.

The Brawa train set combines not only a precisely detailed representation of the class 216, but also a series of passenger cars that make this train a perfect replica of the rear-end express train. With the AC sound extra equipment and a light change between red and white, this model set offers a realistic driving experience on your layout.

The E 1642 rear-end express train: A special train service of the 1970s

The German Federal Railroad's rear express trains were created in the 1950s with the aim of better connecting structurally weaker and more rural regions with the large conurbations. These trains were very popular with the population as they could travel between rural areas and the nearest major cities without having to change trains frequently. They often used branch lines and less frequented routes away from the main arterial routes, which earned them the name "Heckeneilzüge".

The E 1642 was such a "Heckeneilzug" and ran from Braunschweig to Aachen in 1974. The route passed through a number of smaller stations, including towns such as Kreiensen, Holzminden, Beverungen and Schwerte. This route enabled passengers to reach remote regions while also providing a fast connection to larger cities such as Wuppertal and Cologne.

The class 216: A versatile diesel locomotive of the German Federal Railways

The class 216 was one of the most successful diesel locomotives of the German Federal Railways and was put into service in the 1960s. It was a universally deployable locomotive that was used for both passenger and freight transport on non-electrified lines. With an output of 1,900 HP and a top speed of 120 km/h, the BR 216 was capable of reliably pulling heavy trains and played an important role in regional and long-distance transportation.

The model of the Brawa class 216 in the E 1642 train set is an exact replica of this powerful locomotive. It impresses with its fine details, including the accurate representation of the ventilation grilles, the running gear details and the striking DB logo. The locomotive is equipped with a PluX22 digital decoder for easy control on digital layouts.
