Brawa 70062 Steam Locomotive 01 232, DB, Era III with DC Sound Extra: A Masterpiece of German Steam Locomotive Construction

The Brawa 70062 steam locomotive 01 232 is an exquisite replica of the powerful class 01 locomotives as they were used on the lines of the German Federal Railroad in the 1950s and 1960s. This Era III locomotive is equipped with a new sound decoder and impresses with its detailed reproduction and technical precision. The class 01 232, like 50 other locomotives in the series, received the powerful type I boiler from 1958, which was developed according to Friedrich Witte's principles and ensured improved efficiency. These technical and visual features have been faithfully implemented in the Brawa 01 232, making it a highlight on any H0 layout.

Historical role model: The 01 series with high-performance boiler

The class 01 was the first standard locomotive series for express train service on the Deutsche Reichsbahn, and it was modernized by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1950s. The installation of the Witte high-performance boiler enabled more efficient combustion and significantly reduced fuel consumption. In addition to the improved boiler, technical details such as a type 57 mixing preheater and a modernized line layout were added, giving the locomotive a tidy and modern appearance. The class 01 locomotives with high-performance boilers, including the 01 232, were used by the DB until the 1970s and are among the best-known steam locomotives in Germany.

Attention to detail and quality from Brawa
