Brawa 63119 N Electric locomotive E44 100, DB, Era III, DC sound - Highly detailed model of a historic electric locomotive

The Brawa 63119 N E-locomotive E44 100 of the German Federal Railroad (DB) in Era III is an exquisite replica of one of the first bogie electric locomotives built in series in Germany. With a multitude of finely crafted details and ultra-modern functions, this model sets new standards for all model train enthusiasts who are looking for an authentic representation of German locomotive history. The sound and digital control are particularly impressive, making this model a highlight on any N layout.

The prototype: The E44 100 - One of the first bogie electric locomotives in Germany

The E44 100, built by Siemens-Schuckert-Werke (SSW), is considered one of the pioneering electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG). At the end of the 1920s, it became clear that freight transport had to be accelerated by new, faster electric locomotives. The previous locomotives, such as the E77 and E75 series, were unable to reach the desired maximum speeds. Based on experience gained abroad and the success of the Bavarian EG 1, a new type of locomotive with Bo'Bo' bogies was developed, which went into series production in 1933 as the first bogie electric locomotive.

The E44 100 was developed as a universal locomotive and could reach speeds of up to 90 km/h. The locomotives were mainly used in central and southern Germany, and after the Second World War the majority of these locomotives remained in West Germany. DB modernized the E44, in particular by lengthening the roof shields and equipping them with Indusi, and used them until the 1980s. This locomotive is regarded as the forerunner of the later DB standard electric locomotives.

Era III: The time of modernization and upswing

Era III, which lasted from 1949 to 1970, was an important time for the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB). After the Second World War, the rail network was rebuilt and modernized, and the E44 100 played a central role in electric freight transport. Many DRG locomotives were further developed during this time, and the E44 100 was a prime example of these modernizations. The Brawa model faithfully depicts this period with all the characteristic features of the E44 100, from the precise design to the functional details such as the pantographs and the roof area.

The locomotive is equipped with a **Next18 interface**, which allows easy integration into digital control systems. The model is digital and equipped with **sound**, providing realistic sounds and light changes. All lighting functions can be controlled digitally, including the engine room lighting, which makes the model particularly interesting for digital systems.

Another highlight is the **LED lighting** with a light change from red to white, which further enhances the realistic operation of the locomotive. The **forehead lighting** is also generated by **LEDs**, and the 3rd headlamp can even be switched off in analog form in the sound version. The car also has **short coupling kinematics according to NEM**, which enables precise coupling with other vehicles.

The model is equipped with **two traction tires**, which ensure excellent grip and thus reliable driving characteristics. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated **flying mass**, which ensures smooth and quiet running.

Sound version: Realistic noises and perfect running characteristics

The Brawa 63119 N electric locomotive E44 100 model in the sound version offers a true wonder of sound. The sound decoder is integrated on the main circuit board and uses the latest 16-bit technology with up to **8 independent channels**. The sound quality is outstanding, and the sounds of the original - from the engine running to braking - are reproduced realistically. Thanks to the **optimized motor and load control**, the locomotive also offers excellent running characteristics, both in digital and analogue operation.

The sound functions can be used in all common digital systems, including **DCC, SX1 and SX2, Motorola**. This makes the locomotive versatile and easy to integrate into various model railroad layouts.

Design and color scheme of the Brawa 63119 N electric locomotive E44 100
