Brawa 65238 Einheitswagen A EWII, SBB, Ep.IV Product Details

Description

About the model: BRAWA presents the SBB A EW II standard car for Era IV. The car was manufactured on a scale of 1:160 and impresses with its detailed appearance, with the finest paintwork and lettering. The model has a length of 148.1 mm and has close coupling kinematics in accordance with the NEM standard. The car was also given the road number "50 85 20-34 531-7".

About the prototype: As the EWI proved to be outstanding, only a few points had to be improved during the further development to the EWII. In order to be able to refloor the car floor, the EWII received new bogies with a wheelbase of 2,500 mm and only 800 mm running circle diameter of the wheels. As the window line is also correspondingly lower, the wagons are clearly recognizable in the train formation with EWI. The windows were also one-piece and retractable, but now double-glazed. While the 1st class coaches were otherwise completely the same as their EWI counterparts, the 2nd class coaches were 1 m longer due to increased seat spacing. The seats had red leatherette upholstery in the smoking compartments and green leatherette upholstery in the non-smoking compartments; the walls had an imitation wood finish. A total of 798 coaches were built from 1965 to 1976, including luggage and mail coaches, which were not available from the EWI.
