Brawa 51251 H0 Covered freight car G, ÖBB, Era III: Austrian railroad history on your layout

The Brawa 51251 H0 Covered freight car G brings a piece of Austrian railroad history to your model railroad layout. This detailed model of Era III impresses with its high precision, authentic paint scheme and prototypical construction.

The prototype: An indispensable wagon for freight traffic

The covered freight car G is based on the model sheet A2 of the German State Railroad Car Association (DWV). These wagons were built in large numbers from 1911 and were used to transport general cargo, agricultural produce and light industrial goods. Their versatility and robust construction made them a standard vehicle that was used throughout most of Europe.

After the Second World War, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) also continued to use many of the remaining wagons from the pre-war period. ÖBB modernized these vehicles and used them for domestic and international freight transport until the late 1960s. The type G was particularly suitable for lighter, large-volume loads such as agricultural products or consumer goods.

Brawa - attention to detail and the highest art of model making

Brawa has modeled the ÖBB type G freight car with the greatest care and highest precision. The finely reproduced board joints, the openwork car body supports and the precise printing give the model an authentic look. Extra details such as axle bearing covers, signal brackets and the multi-part Kkg brake system make this car a highlight on any H0 model railroad layout.

Technical details of the Brawa 51251 G wagon

The model has a length over buffers of 107.2 mm and is designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). The integrated close coupling kinematics ensure prototypical coupling and realistic cornering. An optional exchange of the wheel sets for operation with alternating current (AC) is possible without any problems.

Era III: Reconstruction and modernization

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by the reconstruction of the railroad infrastructure in Austria and Europe after the Second World War. ÖBB continued to use many older wagons, modernized them and adapted them to the increased requirements of freight transport. The G boxcar was an important part of the freight trains of this time and contributed significantly to the economic upswing.
