Brawa 50892 Train set D 1050 with class 211 and passenger train, DR, Era IV: Historic city express train to Berlin

The Brawa 50892 train set D 1050 is an exclusive model reproduction of the historic city express train that the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) introduced in the 1960s to improve the connection from the urban centers to the capital Berlin. With the designation "D 1050" and a specially optimized route, this train provided fast and comfortable connections. The model train set includes the iconic class 211 electric locomotive and a selection of typical carriages that were characteristic of the DR's D-train service. This set is ideal for collectors and model railroaders who want to experience the authentic atmosphere of Era IV in H0 scale.

Historical prototype: D 1050 city express train service

At the end of the 1960s, the DR introduced the city express service to Berlin in order to offer commuters and travelers from Meiningen, Suhl, Erfurt and other cities a fast connection to the capital. These connections - known as D 1050 in the morning and D 1057 in the evening - were characterized by fewer intermediate stops, which shortened the journey time compared to other D trains. These express connections were designed especially for commuters and were further developed over the years before they were integrated into the DR's regular service in 1989.

Brawa: Quality and attention to detail in H0 gauge

As a renowned manufacturer of high-quality model railroads, Brawa stands for attention to detail and quality. The D 1050 train set is an excellent example of the company's precise work and authentically reflects the appearance and technical features of the historic DR train. Model railroaders appreciate the careful workmanship and realistic design of the Brawa models, which impress with their innovative technology and attention to detail.

Technical details of the Brawa D 1050 train set

The class 211 included in the set is an electric locomotive with the road number 211 080-7. This locomotive has a powerful 5-pole motor and a flywheel that ensures smooth running characteristics. Two traction tires ensure excellent tractive power so that the locomotive can also move long trains without any problems. The model is designed for DC operation and has a PluX22 interface for easy retrofitting of a decoder if digitization is desired at a later date. The locomotive is equipped with lighting depending on the direction of travel: 3 headlights and 2 tail lights provide an authentic representation of operation.

Contents of the set and authentic car layout

The Brawa train set D 1050 consists of a carefully assembled selection of cars that are modeled after the prototype and reflect the typical composition of a DR city express train:

• Class 211 locomotive (road number 211 080-7) - the D 1050's draft horse
• Reko luggage coach (road number 57 50 82-15 025-2) - offers space for luggage and seats
• Reko dining car WRg (road number 51 50 88-15 041-9) - the dining car provides for the physical well-being of the passengers
• 2x Bmh passenger coaches (road numbers 50 50 21-12 062-9 and 50 50 21-12 063-7) - typical passenger coaches for the comfort of passengers
• Mail coach (road number 50 50 00-10 456-0) - for the transportation of mail on the line

This car layout allows an authentic reproduction of the original city express train and gives your H0 layout a touch of historical railroad romance.

Running characteristics and track requirements

The train set is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm, which makes it suitable for most H0 layouts. The locomotive and cars are equipped with an NEM 362 coupling shaft, which makes it easy to connect the vehicles. The model is designed for analogue operation, but can easily be digitized. The combination of the powerful motor and the precise flywheel mass ensures smooth starting and braking characteristics that simulate the real operation of an express train.
