Brawa 70180 H0 Electric locomotive E73 01, DRG, Ep. II - A masterpiece of historic electrical engineering
The Brawa 70180 H0 electric locomotive E73 01 is a detailed replica of one of the most innovative electric locomotives in early railroad history. With its revolutionary single-axle drive, the E73 was far ahead of its time and a symbol of the technical progress of the time. This exclusive model from Era II impresses with its precise attention to detail and prototypical features that will delight every collector and model train enthusiast.
The historical significance of the E73 - a technical pioneer
As early as 1912, the Royal Bavarian State Railways began to electrify lines and ordered innovative locomotives, including the EG 4 X 1/1, later known as the E73. These locomotives deviated radically from the standard of the time and were equipped with a single-axle drive. Each driving axle had its own electric motor, a concept that is now standard on modern electric locomotives.
The locomotives were built in 1914 and 1915 by Krauss (technical part) and Bergmanns Elektrische Werke (electrical part) and easily mastered the steep routes between Freilassing and Berchtesgaden. Despite their limited distribution, the locomotives proved to be excellent in operation. However, their breakthrough in widespread use failed to materialize - they were simply too far ahead of their time.
In 1926, the locomotives were incorporated into the E73 class of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG) and continued to prove their efficiency. In addition to their main line, they were also used in shunting service in Salzburg. The two locomotives were not taken out of service until 1937 and 1941, although one locomotive remained in service for many years as a snow plow.
Perfect replica with state-of-the-art technology
The model of the E73 01 from Brawa impresses with its exceptional precision and authentic details. The free-standing steps, specially attached sand pipes and the finely engraved fan grilles underline the high quality of workmanship. The locomotive is equipped with a prepared sound unit, which can be retrofitted in a few simple steps, and has integrated interior lighting.
For fans of historic locomotives of Era II
The E73 01 is an indispensable highlight for model railroad fans who love Era II. Its impressive history, the innovative drive concept and the detailed realization make this locomotive a valuable collector's item. Thanks to the option of retrofitting the locomotive sound, model railroaders can enhance the driving experience individually.
Conclusion: A model with history and technical sophistication
The Brawa 70180 H0 electric locomotive E73 01 combines railroad history with modern model making. It is the ideal choice for collectors who value historical authenticity and first-class technology. Thanks to the careful implementation and the option of sound upgrades, this model will become the centerpiece of any model railway layout.
