About the model: The 2-axle DR tank wagon Zekk[7242] is a model from BRAWA and expands the range with a further wagon in 1:87 scale. The model, which belongs to Era IV, impresses with its detailed appearance, with the finest printing on a prototypical paintwork. The car also impresses with a multi-part brake system as well as brake shoes at wheel level and free-standing ladders.

About the prototype: At the end of the 1920s, the German State Railroad had completed its own development of standardized replacement running gear. The wagon industry installed these running gears in countless wagons from 1928, which considerably simplified the subsequent replacement of spare parts in vehicle maintenance and contributed to significant cost savings.Tank wagons with a capacity of 19.2 m³ were one of the first types of wagon in which the new replacement components were used. These wagons were primarily used for the transportation of various flammable liquids such as heating oil, tar oils or vegetable oils.Due to the many small orders from various customers and vehicle manufacturers, there were several small differences in the details of the wagons. What they all had in common, however, was the use of a uniform underframe with an axle base of 4.5 m and a length of 8.8 m over buffers in riveted construction. As welding technology was not yet sufficiently advanced in 1928, the majority of the boilers were still manufactured using conventional riveted construction.In the years 1928 to 1938, over 1000 cars were built, the last of which were not taken out of service in Germany until 1983.
