Description

Brawa 51369 H0 Open Freight Car Eas [5965], DR, Era IV – Versatile high-sided freight car of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

Are you looking for a typical example of freight transport from the GDR era? The Brawa 51369 Eas car from the Deutsche Reichsbahn offers you an excellently detailed model of an open freight car for bulk and general cargo transport—ideal for realistic Era IV trains on your H0 layout.

Authentic detailing for the highest standards

With a length over buffers of 161 mm and close-coupling kinematics, this car is perfectly suited for use in mixed or all-freight trains. Equipped with metal axle boxes, bogies with three-point suspension, and separately attached axle box covers, the model also impresses with a multi-part braking system featuring brake shoes at wheel level. The fine paint finish and precise decals round out the high-quality appearance.

The Prototype – Standard Cars for Heavy-Duty Service

The DR’s Eas cars were used in freight service starting in the 1970s and were among the most important carriers of bulk cargo in the East. Their robust construction and high loading capacity made them versatile—from coal and wood to construction debris. The car shown here bears the road number 31 50 596 6627-5 and is thus representative of the fleet from the late GDR years.

A Classic of DR Freight Logistics

Wagons of this type operated on all routes of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and were frequently encountered in mixed transfer trains, at marshalling yards, or in block trains on main lines. Their simple yet functional design made them an indispensable part of rail freight transport during Era IV.

Ideal for GDR Scenarios on the Model Railroad

Whether paired with a BR 110, BR 118, or other DR locomotives—the Eas 5965 fits perfectly into any Eastern Bloc setting. It looks particularly impressive when coupled with other DR open freight cars, stake cars, or flatcars.
