Brawa 51169 H0 Reisezugwagen Bmhe, DR, Ep. IV

Brawa 51169 H0 Bmhe passenger coach, DR, Era IV - The long Halberstadt coach in express train service in the GDR

Would you like to equip your Era IV layout with a typical express train car of the German State Railroad? The Brawa 51169 Bmhe embodies the well-known "long Halberstädter", as they were indispensable in express and later also in regional traffic of the DR - excellently detailed and technically up to date.

Fine details, exact realization

With a length over buffers of 303 mm and close coupling kinematics according to NEM, the car can be optimally integrated into realistic train sets. The precisely fitted windows with printed window frames, the period-appropriate interior (multicolored) and the spring-loaded rubber bead at the wagon transition ensure that the car is very close to the prototype. True-to-original bogies, free-standing grab irons, extra steps and a generator on the bogie complete the equipment. Interior lighting is included. Road number: 51 50 21-40 115-0.

The prototype - express train cars for the RSB Leipzig-Chemnitz

The Bmhe cars were used as modern express train cars by the DR and formed the backbone on lines such as the RegionalSchnellBahn Leipzig-Chemnitz from the 1980s. In the 1990s, the coaches were also used in the old federal states - often in push-pull operation with Bybdzf 482 driving trailers and class 112, 143, 219 or 234 locomotives.

Typical express train coach for versatile use

Whether as a classic express train carriage, in regional traffic or in post-reversing push-pull operation - the DR's Bmhe was widely used and remained active in many places until the 2000s. Many of these coaches were later sold to foreign railroad companies such as the Hungarian MÁV or used in museum operations.

For true-to-original DR and DB layouts

Particularly harmonious in combination with other "long Halberstadt cars", dining and baggage cars as well as matching DR locomotives. Due to its length and appearance, the car is a real highlight in any DR express train set of Era IV.

A DR classic with a lot of history - perfect for demanding model railroaders

With the Brawa 51169 you can bring a piece of GDR railroad reality into your model - carefully implemented, richly detailed and ready for authentic operation.
