The prototype – Proven sliding-wall technology from 1966 onward

With the Hbis 299, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began using side-loading cars without a lifting sliding roof in 1966—ideal for palletized goods and general cargo. By 1975, over 8,400 cars had been built, many of which were equipped with various additional functions either at the factory or during retrofits. In the 1970s and 1980s, many of these cars were adorned with advertising slogans—such as this one, which promoted Dr. Oetker.

Rolling advertising for one of Germany’s best-known brands

“Dr. Oetker” has been a staple in German households for decades. The eye-catching design on a Bundesbahn freight car adds a charming contrast to any train formation—perfect for advertising or private car collections.

Ideal for Era IV freight trains with a brand-specific character

Whether in international freight trains, on domestic routes, or in industrial transport—the Hbis 299 in the Dr. Oetker livery is highly versatile. It pairs especially well with BR 140 and 150 electric locomotives or diesel locomotives like the V90—a classic that was a common sight everywhere in the 1970s and 1980s.

A must-have for advertising car enthusiasts and Era IV fans

With the Brawa 51346, you’re adding a top-quality technical model with high emotional appeal to your layout. A slice of everyday DB life with a touch of nostalgia—perfect for varied train formations.
