The Brawa 51138 H0 Covered Freight Car Gmms44 "PEZ," DB, Era III is a finely detailed model for Deutsche Bundesbahn freight trains and is ideal for prototypical Era III layouts.

Gmms44 “PEZ” of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

In 1949, the International Union of Railways (UIC) established its own research and development institute, the ORE. Based on the design principles developed there, European railway administrations created their own variants of two-axle standard freight cars.

Starting in 1957, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put the Gmm(e)hs 56 into service—the first true UIC standard cars. Subsequent modernization programs resulted in the Gmms 44, Gmm(eh)s 60, Gmms 40, and 216 car types, among others.

A finely crafted model with distinctive lettering

This H0 model features metal wheels, metal axle boxes, separately attached handrails, and axle box covers. The multi-part braking system, brake shoes at wheel level, and the prototypical braking system on the car floor ensure a harmonious appearance within the train set.
