Description

Brawa 51370 H0 Eas 070 Open Freight Car, DB AG, Era V – Sturdy Car for Modern Timber Transport

Are you looking for a modern open freight car for your Era V layout? The Brawa 51370 Eas 070 from DB AG is a finely detailed model that perfectly replicates the typical converted cars of the 1990s designed for light bulk cargo such as wood waste —an ideal addition to realistic freight trains in the modern railway world.

True to the prototype and functional

The car is based on the standard Eas 070 type, which was converted in 1995–1996 by raising the side walls for timber transport. This resulted in 378 cars of the new Ealos 053 type, with another nearly 200 built as Ealos-x models based on other base types. These cars were specifically designed for light, bulky cargo such as wood chips or wood waste and were in service on numerous routes.

Fine details for high model accuracy

The Brawa 51370 features a length over buffers of 161 mm and close-coupling kinematics, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into modern freight train formations. Metal axle bearings, finely engraved bogie frames with three-point mounting, as well as separately attached axle bearing caps and a multi-part braking system with brake shoes at wheel level ensure the highest level of model accuracy. The precise printing and paint finish round out the high-quality overall impression.

A typical example of modern DB AG logistics

With the road number 11 80 596 6 118-1, this Eas 070, as a DB AG car, is a typical example of the transition period from the Deutsche Bundesbahn to Deutsche Bahn AG. Used for transporting lumber, it was frequently seen in block trains or mixed freight trains on main and branch lines.

For authentic operation from the mid-90s onward

The car pairs perfectly with Class 232 and 294 locomotives or modern electric locomotives such as the Class 185. It looks particularly harmonious in combination with other open freight cars, flatcars, or container cars from Era V—a must-have for anyone who wants to realistically depict modern freight transport.

A modern model for sophisticated layouts

With the Brawa 51370, you can bring a piece of modern rail logistics to your H0 layout—rich in detail, robust, and typical of service from the mid-1990s onward. Ideal for regular service, shunting, or long freight trains on modern model railroad layouts.
