Brawa 51245 H0 Covered freight car G, DRG, Era II: A classic of German freight transportation

With its fine detailing and precise printing, this wagon brings historical rail freight traffic to your model railway layout.

The prototype: The success story of the train coaches

The type G, based on the specifications of the German State Railway Wagon Association (DWV) from 1909, shaped rail freight traffic for decades. From 1911 onwards, several series of the interlocking wagons were built and were used extensively by the state railroads and later by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). By 1934 alone, more than 121,770 units had been built for the DRG, and over 160,000 in total if the wagons for foreign and private railroads are included.

The wagon was designed for the transportation of general cargo and light loads and was versatile thanks to its robust construction. With a wheelbase of 4.5 m and a load capacity of 15 tons, the wagon became the backbone of freight transport in the interwar period.

Brawa - High-quality reproduction of historic wagons

Brawa places great value on detailed models, and the G boxcar is no exception. The fine reproduction of the board joints, the openwork car body supports and the precise printing of the DRG lettering make this model a real gem. Extra axle bearing covers, grab irons and signal brackets underline the high quality of workmanship.

Technical details of the Brawa 51245 G car

The model has a length over buffers of 107.3 mm and is designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). The built-in close coupling kinematics and the coupling shafts in accordance with the NEM standard ensure a reliable connection with other cars and locomotives. It is easy to change to AC wheelsets, making the model very versatile.

Era II: The era of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft

Era II (1920-1950) covers the period between the founding of the DRG and the end of the Second World War. During this phase, the DRG modernized its rolling stock and relied on tried-and-tested designs such as the DRG type G train coaches. These coaches were used throughout the country and made a significant contribution to the development of transport logistics on the DRG rail network.
