Description

Brawa 50975 H0 Covered freight car Glr22 "Dienstgutwagen", DB, Era III: Robust and versatile in freight traffic

The Brawa 50975 H0 Covered freight car Glr22 "Dienstgutwagen" is a detailed reproduction of one of the most important freight car types of the German Federal Railroad (DB) in Era III. With its precise workmanship and faithful reproduction of the underbody, this model is perfect for realistic freight train formations on your H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: German Federal Railroad Glr22 boxcar

The Glr22 is based on the tried-and-tested design principles of the German State Railroad Wagon Association's unit designs and was further developed according to the so-called exchange design principles. These ensured a standardized design and simple replacement of components. The wagon was designed for the transportation of light, bulky goods and was an important part of freight transport in Germany.

The Glr22 was equipped with a riveted frame and a barrel-shaped roof, which gave it improved stability and durability compared to earlier designs. The wagons were particularly popular with the glass and consumer goods industry, as they offered large loading spaces and were also suitable for use in passenger trains thanks to their robust construction. The last wagons of this design were only taken out of service in the 1980s.

Brawa - precision and technical perfection

Brawa is known for models with the highest level of detail, and the 50975 Glr22 "Dienstgutwagen" is no exception. The model has intricate details such as specially attached spring assemblies, brake adjusters and precisely reproduced wheel bearings. The prototypical underbody and the profiled wheels ensure an authentic look and realistic driving characteristics.

Era III: Reconstruction and expansion in rail freight traffic

Era III (1949-1970) was characterized by the economic reconstruction of Germany and the increasing need for transport capacity. The Deutsche Bundesbahn relied on tried and tested freight wagon types such as the Glr22 to make freight transport efficient and reliable. This wagon type was particularly indispensable for transporting light goods with large volumes.
