Brawa 64323 N Railcar VT 2.09 001, DR, Era III, DC Sound - A highlight on your model railroad

The Brawa 64323 N railcar VT 2.09 001 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) is a highly detailed model from Era III and impresses with its prototypical equipment and technical perfection. With a built-in sound decoder, LED interior lighting and numerous other functions, this railcar will become the centerpiece of your model railroad layout. The clear view through the passenger compartment, the realistic panoramic window and the prototypical lighting make the model a real masterpiece, both visually and technically.

The prototype: The VT 2.09 - Versatile DR commuter railcar

The VT 2.09 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was an indispensable vehicle in local and regional transportation in the GDR in the 1950s and 1960s. Developed for flexible use on main and branch lines, the railcar combined economy and comfort. The striking panoramic windows and the spacious interior ensured a pleasant travel experience. The Brawa model faithfully reproduces the VT 2.09 and thus brings the atmosphere of this formative time directly to your model railroad layout.

With a combination of motor car and side car, the multiple unit offered space for numerous passengers and was used on both shorter connections and longer regional routes. The technical functions included in the Brawa model such as light changes, interior lighting and realistic sound round out the authentic representation.

Era III: A milestone in the reconstruction of the German Reichsbahn

Era III (1949-1970) was a time of reconstruction and modernization for the German Reichsbahn. After the destruction of the Second World War, the rail network had to be repaired and the rolling stock renewed. The VT 2.09 played an important role in the reorganization of local and regional transport in the GDR. With its modern equipment features and high reliability, it made a significant contribution to getting rail transport back on the road to success.

Brawa - High-quality model railroad technology with attention to detail

Brawa stands for exceptional model quality and maximum precision. The Brawa 64323 N railcar VT 2.09 001 impressively demonstrates how detailed production and innovative technology merge into a perfect model. The panoramic windows, the prototypical lighting and the fine printing make the model a highlight on any N layout. Added to this are technical features such as an integrated sound decoder and LED interior lighting, which ensure a realistic driving experience.

Technical details of the Brawa 64323 N railcar

The model of the VT 2.09 001 impresses with numerous technical features that ensure realistic operation. The length over buffers is **84.7 mm**, which corresponds to the N scale (1:160). The model is equipped with **LED interior lighting** that realistically illuminates the passenger compartment. The lighting between the car units can be switched off in both analog and digital operation.

The model has **short coupling kinematics in accordance with NEM**, which enables reliable coupling between the motor car and trailer car. The **three-point suspension** ensures that the motor car runs stably and safely even on uneven track. Power is picked up by wheel pickups, which ensures a consistent power supply.

The built-in **sound decoder** (Döhler+Haass) provides realistic operating sounds and ensures an authentic driving experience. The **flying mass** ensures smooth and even running, while the lights change automatically between white headlights and red tail lights.

Sound version: Realistic sound quality with modern technology

The sound version of the Brawa 64323 N railcar is equipped with a high-quality sound decoder that is integrated on the main circuit board. The **16-bit technology** ensures noise-free reproduction of the original sound with up to **8 independent channels**. The decoder is compatible with common digital systems such as **DCC, SX1, SX2 and Motorola**, which makes the model particularly versatile.

The sound includes realistic noises such as the engine noise when starting up, the brakes and other typical operating noises. The light functions can be controlled digitally and include the interior lighting, the headlight signal and the end lighting in the trailer car.

Design and detailing of the Brawa 64323 N railcar

The body of the railcar impresses with its faithful reproduction of the prototype. The panoramic windows offer a clear view through the passenger compartment, which is equipped with an interior that is true to the original. The fine printing and paintwork as well as the prototypical lighting ensure that the model is just as visually impressive as the original.

The sidecar has true-to-original lighting with red tail lights that switch on and off automatically depending on the direction of travel. The current-carrying coupler ensures that the lighting can be synchronized and the light in both cars can be controlled.

Functions and accessories of the Brawa 64323 N railcar

The model offers numerous functions that enrich operation on the model railroad. The **LED interior lighting** is prototypical and illuminates the passenger compartment in both car units. The light changes automatically between white headlights and red tail lights depending on the direction of travel. Thanks to the current-carrying coupler, the light functions can be synchronized between the car units.

The built-in **short-coupling kinematics** allows a small distance between the cars, which makes the train set particularly realistic. The interface of the model can be soldered so that individual adaptations or later digitization are also possible without any problems.

Care and maintenance of the Brawa 64323 N railcar

To keep the model in perfect condition, it should be serviced regularly. Clean dirt and dust from the wheel sliders and wheels to ensure reliable power consumption. The moving parts such as couplings and bogies should also be checked regularly and lubricated if necessary. A soft cloth is recommended for cleaning the surface of the housing to avoid scratches.

Conclusion & purchase recommendation

The Brawa 64323 N railcar VT 2.09 001 is an outstanding model that authentically depicts the history of the German Reichsbahn in Era III. With its precise detailing, high-quality sound functions and LED interior lighting, this model offers everything that model railroaders and collectors could wish for. Anyone looking for a realistic and feature-rich railcar will be more than satisfied with the VT 2.09.
