Description

Brawa 51310 H0 Pw4ü baggage car, DB, Era III, with AC interior lighting

The Brawa 51310 H0 Pw4ü baggage car is a detailed replica of a historic baggage car from the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era III. Equipped with integrated interior lighting and specifically designed for the 3-wire alternating current system (AC), this car is perfect for sophisticated model railroad layouts. Thanks to the precise reproduction of the bogies, the true-to-scale design and the historical reference to the famous E 230 express train, this model is an authentic addition to any Era III train set.

Historical prototype: Post-war baggage car

In the 1950s, this baggage car was mainly used in express trains such as the E 230, which transported passengers through the Ruhr area from Dortmund to Cologne. As an essential part of such trains, the wagon was used to transport luggage, mail and express freight and thus made a significant contribution to smooth travel and freight traffic. The express train's locomotive was often a powerful BR 01, which shaped the characteristic image of German post-war rail traffic.

Detailed replica and high-quality workmanship

The prototypical reproduction of the bogies and true-to-scale side panels ensures an authentic appearance on the model railway layout. The precisely fitted wheelsets with top bearings enable smooth running, while the retracted bellows make the transition between the wagons realistic. The multi-part brake system, brake shoes at wheel level and the prototypical frame structure round off the detailed overall appearance. The built-in interior lighting further enhances the car and creates a convincing atmosphere even in twilight.

Era III and area of use

In Era III, which extends from 1945 to 1970, the German Federal Railroad (DB) operated a large number of old and new vehicles. The Pw4ü baggage car was mainly used in express trains that served important transport axes such as the Ruhr or Rhine-Main area. Thanks to its robust design and adaptations to the needs of the growing passenger traffic, the baggage car became a reliable companion on main lines.

Interior lighting and digital preparation

The baggage car has integrated interior lighting, which provides a realistic appearance and sets the scene for the interior of the car even in poor lighting conditions. The built-in soldering points allow easy retrofitting with digital components if required. This flexibility makes the model ideal for both analog and digital systems.

Technical details

The length over buffers is 213.7 mm and the minimum radius for operation is 360 mm. The baggage car is designed for the 3-wire alternating current system (AC) and is equipped with a coupling shaft in accordance with the NEM standard with close coupling kinematics. The model is equipped with a high-quality interior and the AC wheel sets can be retrofitted if required with the Brawa order number 2181.
