Description

Brawa 51368 H0 Covered Freight Car Gs 212, DB AG, Era V – UIC Standard Car in Modern Service

Are you looking for a typical Era V freight car for your H0 layout? The Brawa 51368 Gs 212 features the modern version of a UIC car that was once standardized throughout Europe—in the Deutsche Bahn AG version. Ideal for use in modern freight trains, transfer trains, or plant-to-plant traffic.

True to the prototype and crafted to a high standard

The car is based on the successful UIC standard design, which originated in the 1950s and remained in service in various versions well into the 1990s. The Gs 212 is a modernized variant that incorporates and combines elements from older cars—a typical representative of DB AG’s diverse freight car fleet.

High-quality model craftsmanship

With a length over buffers of 121 mm and NEM-compliant close-coupling mechanism, the car can be easily integrated into train formations. The model features metal wheels, metal axle boxes, separately attached handrails, and axle box covers. The multi-part braking system with brake shoes at wheel level as well as a realistic implementation of the underfloor braking system make the car a real eye-catcher in any train formation.

Modern Era V lettering

With the road number 01 80 125 3 827-0, this car features the typical appearance of Deutsche Bahn AG from the 1990s—suitable for use from the time of the railway reform through the early 2000s. Whether in single-car operation or as part of a mixed freight train—the Gs 212 was and remains highly versatile.

Ideal for modern layouts and transitional periods

The car pairs perfectly with locomotives such as the BR 290, BR 140, or modern DB AG electric locomotives. It can be combined with other covered freight cars, open cars, or tank cars—for maximum variety on the model railroad.

A contemporary model with historical roots

The Brawa 51368 combines the origins of European railcar standardization with the look of modern rail logistics—perfect for discerning model railroaders who want to depict realistic operations on Era V layouts.
