Pre-war elegance illuminated—Brawa 58193 H0 AB4ü-38 Passenger Car, DRG, Era II, with LED interior lighting

With the Brawa 58193 H0 AB4ü-38 Passenger Car, DRG, Era II, you can bring a highlight of German railway history to your layout—now featuring factory-installed LED interior lighting. This distinctive skirted car represents the dawn of high-speed rail service under the Deutsche Reichsbahn and combines technical expertise with historical authenticity.

Exquisitely modeled express train technology of the 1930s

With its length over buffers of 250.7 mm and built to the exact H0 scale of 1:87, the AB4ü-38 is a faithful representation of what were once the most modern passenger cars on German tracks. The two-class layout, aerodynamic skirting, and flush windows make this car a classic of Era II.

Technology & detailing at the highest level

The model features metal axle holders, prototype-accurate axle bearing caps, brake shoes at wheel level, a separately attached axle brake linkage, and a multi-part brake system. The fully reproduced car floor and the variant-specific interior underscore the commitment to the highest model quality.

Interior lighting as standard

The built-in LED interior lighting creates an atmospheric effect in nighttime and station scenes. This really brings out the elegant interior design. Thanks to NEM-compliant close-coupling kinematics, the car is ideally suited for use in closed train formations.

The prototype: AB4ü-38 – Reichsbahn skirted car

Type 39 cars, such as the AB4ü-38, were designed to make the Reichsbahn ready for high-speed long-distance service through aerodynamic fairings and modern manufacturing methods. Due to the war, many of these cars saw only limited service, but were continued to be used after the war by DB, DR, ÖBB, and SNCF—some well into the 1970s.

For fans of classic Reichsbahn trains with comfortable lighting

The Brawa 58193 AB4ü-38 not only brings historical authenticity to your layout but also an atmospheric interior. A must-have for anyone who wants to recreate the technical elegance of the 1930s in a stylish and functional model.
