Description

Brawa 70028 H0 Diesel locomotive 212 097-0 'Bahnbau Gruppe', DB AG, Ep. VI - Powerful and detailed replica of the V100 series

The Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive 212 097-0 'Bahnbau Gruppe' from Deutsche Bahn AG in Era VI is a highly detailed replica of the popular V100 series, which became famous for its robustness and versatility. With finely etched radiator and fan grilles, free-standing grab irons and true-to-original lighting, this model is a real highlight for model railroaders and collectors. It brings the fascinating history of Deutsche Bahn diesel locomotives directly to your model railroad.

The prototype: The Deutsche Bahn V100 series

The diesel locomotives of the V100 series, which were introduced by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in 1957, are regarded as classics of German railroad operation. The V100 was one of the first powerful diesel locomotives developed for use in secondary and regional traffic. The series was particularly popular due to its reliability, economy and versatility. With an output of around 1,100 to 1,350 hp, the V100 ensured that the Bundesbahn was able to replace the old steam locomotives with modern, more efficient vehicles. Over the years, the locomotives were used for various tasks, from freight and passenger trains to rail grinding cars and other special tasks. The V100 series became particularly well known for its use on branch lines and in the construction and maintenance group, as was the case with DB AG's 'Bahnbau Gruppe'.

The V100 was repeatedly modernized during its years of operation and also served as the basis for many later diesel locomotives. The Brawa model is a faithful reproduction of this historic locomotive and reflects the most important features of the prototype.

Era VI: The time of modernization and increased efficiency

Era VI (from 2000 to the present day) is characterized by progressive electrification and the conversion to more environmentally friendly vehicles. Nevertheless, many locomotives of the V100 series, such as the 212 097-0, are still in operation and are used by both Deutsche Bahn AG and private railroads. In this era, the locomotives are increasingly used for specialized tasks, such as construction and maintenance work. This also applies to the DB AG 'Bahnbau Gruppe', which uses this locomotive as a robust and flexible work tool. This era is also still of great importance in the world of model railways, as many model railway layouts reflect the period of modernization.

Brawa - A manufacturer for attention to detail and high quality

Brawa is known for its precise production and exceptional attention to detail. The model of the 212 097-0 'Bahnbau Gruppe' diesel locomotive impressively lives up to this claim.

Technical details of the Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive

The model of the Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive 212 097-0 has numerous technical features that make it a particularly realistic model for your H0 layout. The **length over buffers is 141.4 mm**, which is the exact scale size. The model is equipped with a **PluX22 interface**, which enables subsequent conversion to digital operation. The model has **soldering points** for operation in analog mode.

The **three-light headlights and two red marker lights** alternating in the direction of travel provide an authentic representation. The **interior lighting** in the driver's cab is also integrated and contributes to the realistic representation of the prototype. The **flying mass** effect ensures smoother and more even running, which improves handling and keeps the model stable even at higher speeds.

The model is equipped with **spring buffers** and **free-standing handlebars**, which is particularly close to the prototype. In addition, the **radiator and fan grilles are etched** to precisely reproduce the finest details of the locomotive.

Digital version and sound functions

The **digital version** of the Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive 212 097-0 includes additional functions that make operation on your model railroad even more realistic. The **sound decoder** is already prepared so that you can equip the model with realistic operating sounds at any time. Other digital functions include **automatic uncoupling**, **cab lighting**, **powered fan**, **shunting light** and **red light**, which can be switched individually.

The sound is already prepared for the digital version, but only the **light functions and the coupling functions** can be used in digital mode. It is not possible to retrofit additional digital functions such as the powered fan and other light functions.

Design and detailing of the Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive

The body of the Brawa 70028 H0 diesel locomotive is equipped with a variety of fine details that make the model particularly realistic. **Free-standing handle bars** and **etched radiator and fan grilles** are among the particularly striking features.
