Brawa 65094 N Passenger Car Bghw, DR, Era IV Product Details

Description

Are you looking for a true-to-life DR passenger car for your Era IV layout?

The Brawa 65094 N Passenger Car Bghw of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) is a precisely crafted model of the legendary Halberstadt car fleet. With detailed “Görlitz V” bogies, scale-accurate windows and multi-colored interior, this car realistically captures local and long-distance rail service from the GDR era in 1:160 scale.

Model Information & Technical Specifications

The car is designed for N gauge (1:160 scale) and measures 116.90 mm over buffers. It is designed for 2-wire direct current (DC) operation and is not digitally compatible. The interior lighting is pre-wired and can be retrofitted as an option. The NEM-compliant close-coupling mechanism enables prototypical car spacing during operation.

Appearance & Features

The model features printed window frames, precisely fitted windows, and a multi-colored interior. The separately attached rubber bead at the car transition, as well as the fine reproduction of the Görlitz V bogies, underscore the high-quality construction of this car. Ideal for train formations in the style of the 1970s and 1980s.

The Prototype: The Backbone of DR Passenger Rail Service

Between 1963 and 1977, the Halberstadt Rolling Stock Works (Raw) manufactured approximately 3,030 Bghwe-type cars. These vehicles shaped the landscape of DR passenger service well into the 1990s. The road number 57 50 28-13 171-3 represents a typical example from its service period in Era IV. These cars were used in both long-distance and commuter service and regularly reached cities in the Federal Republic such as Hamburg and Nuremberg.

For realistic GDR train formations in N scale

The Bghw can be ideally combined with other Halberstadt cars, DR dining cars (WRge), and locomotives such as the BR 110, 118, or 132. A classic on any N-scale layout focused on Era IV.
