Brawa 51308 H0 Pw4ü baggage car, DB, Era III - A classic of post-war express train service

The Brawa 51308 H0 Pw4ü baggage car takes you back to the heyday of post-war railroad traffic. As an authentic model of the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era III (1945-1970), this baggage car enriches every historical train set and provides an incomparable model railroad experience with its high-quality workmanship, realistic reproduction and well thought-out technical details.

Historical prototype: A baggage car for express and express trains

In the 1950s, the Pw4ü baggage wagon was frequently used in express trains such as the E 230 express train that ran between Dortmund and Cologne. The train combination of old express train coaches and modern city express coaches (yl coaches) was typical of the period after the Second World War, when rail transport played a central role in the reconstruction of Germany. The Pw4ü served as a means of transport for luggage, mail and smaller freight goods and was indispensable for the smooth operation of passenger services.

Detailed replica: A masterpiece for collectors and model railroaders

The Brawa Pw4ü baggage car impresses with its true-to-scale reproduction of the side panels and the prototypical bogies. The wheel sets are designed with center bearings, which ensures realistic and smooth running. The retracted bellows at the ends of the carriages is another detail that underlines the model's high standards of authenticity.

A particular highlight is the multi-part brake system with brake shoes at wheel level, which was manufactured exactly according to the prototype. The carefully applied printing and paintwork give the model a high-quality look that will also delight collectors.

Technical details and functions

With a length over buffers of 213.7 mm and close coupler kinematics in accordance with the NEM standard, the Pw4ü can be easily integrated into existing train sets. The model is equipped with a built-in interior, and optional interior lighting (BRAWA order no. 2212) can be retrofitted for even more realism.

Another advantage is the possibility of AC wheelset replacement (BRAWA order no. 2181), which allows the car to be used on both DC and AC systems. An optional AC pickup shoe (BRAWA order no. 2221) makes the model particularly flexible for different layouts.

The E 230 express train and the BR 01 express locomotive - a legendary duo

This baggage car is part of a prototypical train set that reproduces the legendary E 230 express train from the second half of the 1950s. The train was known for its connection through the Ruhr area, starting in Dortmund and ending in busy Cologne. The train was often pulled by the powerful class 01 express locomotive, including the famous 01 100, a symbol of the strength and elegance of the German railroad system.

The train route passed through major cities in the Ruhr region such as Essen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf before arriving at Cologne Central Station in the afternoon. This historic route and the interplay of old and modern carriages can be perfectly recreated on your model railway layout with the Brawa Pw4ü.
