Brawa 70139 H0 Steam locomotive S2/6 3201, K.Bay.Sts.B., Era I, AC-Sound-Extra: A masterpiece of model railroad engineering

The Brawa 70139 H0 steam locomotive S2/6 3201 is a faithful reproduction of the legendary express locomotive of the Royal Bavarian State Railroad (K.Bay.Sts.B.) from Era I. This model impresses with the highest precision and authentic historical details. Equipped with a high-quality sound decoder and an energy storage unit, it offers an impressive driving experience on any model railway layout.

Historical role model: The S2/6 express locomotive

The S2/6 was built in 1906 by the renowned Maffei locomotive factory for the Royal Bavarian State Railway. With its innovative design and technology, it represented a milestone in locomotive construction. As early as 1907, it reached a record speed of 154.4 km/h during test runs between Munich and Augsburg, making it the fastest steam locomotive on the European mainland. At the time of its commissioning, the S2/6 wore an elegant grey livery with "Russian gloss plates" on the boiler.

The manufacturer Brawa: Precision and passion in model making

Brawa has been known for decades for its high-quality model railroads and sets the highest standards in terms of attention to detail and quality of workmanship. The S2/6 3201 steam locomotive in H0 is another example of the company's commitment to reproducing historical railroad vehicles authentically and to a high standard.

Detailed design and technical finesse

The model of the S2/6 3201 impresses with numerous technical and visual highlights. The boiler, chassis and tender housing are made of die-cast zinc, which ensures a high level of stability. The finest metal spoke wheels, the faithfully reproduced boiler rear wall and the detailed tender bogies make the model a masterpiece. The close coupling between the locomotive and tender ensures a prototypical distance. The slant-grooved 5-pole motor with two flywheels ensures quiet and smooth running characteristics.

Technical data and equipment

The steam locomotive has a length over buffers of 242.9 mm and is suitable for a minimum radius of 360 mm. It has a built-in sound decoder from Döhler & Haass and an energy storage unit that guarantees an uninterruptible power supply. The cab lighting can be switched on and off in digital operation and the three-light headlights change automatically depending on the direction of travel. The locomotive is also prepared for the installation of a Seuthe No. 20 smoke generator.

Era I: The beginnings of the railroad era

Era I, which covers the period from the beginnings of the railroad to around 1920, was characterized by technical innovations and a pioneering spirit. The S2/6 is a symbol of this era and demonstrates the progress made in locomotive construction at that time.

Conclusion: An indispensable model for discerning model railroaders

The Brawa 70139 H0 steam locomotive S2/6 3201 is a highlight for any model railroad layout. It combines historical significance with state-of-the-art technology and offers an authentic railroad experience. With its built-in sound decoder and high-quality workmanship, it is an asset for both collectors and operators.
