Brawa 51361 H0 Sliding-Wall Freight Car Hbis 299, DSB, Era IV, Albani – A Scandinavian promotional model with cult status

Would you like to add an extraordinary freight car to your Era IV layout? With the Brawa 51361 Hbis 299 from the DSB, you’re not only adding a highly detailed model of a widely used sliding-wall freight car to your layout, but also a visual highlight: The eye-catching “Albani” advertisement makes this car a real showstopper in the freight traffic of the 1970s and ’80s.

Model with intricate detailing

The car has a length over buffers of 161 mm and is equipped with NEM-compliant close-coupling kinematics —ideal for operation in train formations. The technical design impresses with bogies featuring three-point bearings, brake shoes at wheel level, separately mounted axle brake linkages, and a finely detailed braking system. Additionally, openwork car body supports and design variations specific to different variants ensure a high degree of authenticity. The metal axle holders guarantee long-lasting running performance.

The Prototype – The Hbis 299 as the European Standard

Originally designed for the Deutsche Bundesbahn, the Hbis 299 quickly found its way into the fleets of other European rail companies—including the DSB (Danish State Railways). The sliding-wall technology without a lift roof proved to be reliable, especially for palletized or bulky cargo. By 1975, over 8,000 cars had been built, many of which were later modernized or equipped with cargo protection devices.

DSB car with “Albani” advertising

The model depicts a car used by DSB featuring advertising for the Danish brewery “Albani” —a rare design that makes this freight car a highlight for collectors and Scandinavian model railroad scenes. Cars like this were in service on many European routes, whether in domestic traffic or in international freight service.

Ideal for Era IV freight trains with character

Whether in an international freight train, at a marshalling yard, or in industrial service—this car stands out. It pairs perfectly with other covered cars, container cars, or flatcars. It looks especially great when combined with Era IV DSB or DB locomotives.

A must-have for fans of DSB and advertising cars

With the Brawa 51361 Hbis 299, you’re not only getting a highly detailed model of a European standard car, but also a distinctive design piece with historical flair. A highlight for any collection and a genuine piece of railway history in a Danish design.
