Completely new development
Now available: The Covered Freight Car G10 in H0 - as a completely new mould.
The newly developed covered freight cars G10 from BRAWA and the corresponding beer cars are now available from specialist dealers and the BRAWA online-shop. BRAWA realized this historically important type of car in German railroad history as a model for the first time in 2006. After almost two decades, BRAWA has decided not only to revise the existing injection molds, but also to completely redesign the G10 covered freight cars.
We are pleased to offer you once again a model that will continue to meet the latest technical standards in the coming years and enrich any system or collection.
G10 – the world's most frequently built covered freight car
The Deutsche Staatsbahnwagenverband (DWV), founded in 1909, developed the A2 standard wagon based on the existing state-railway covered goods wagons, featuring a 4.5 m wheelbase and a 15-tonne load capacity. From 1911 onwards, this design was produced as numerous series for the Länderbahnen (state railways), private railways and later the Reichsbahn (National Railway). By 1934, an astonishing total of 121,770 wagons of this type, designated G Kassel/Munich, had been delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft alone. Including wagons built for private and foreign railways, it is estimated that more than 160,000 wagons were manufactured based on the A2 master drawing. From 1938 onwards, these wagons were reinforced to withstand the additional stresses caused by the installation of air brakes as well as increased speeds. Diagonal struts were welded into the end sections, and in some cases, the end stanchions were rotated by 90 degrees. By the end of 1952, 35,600 wagons of this type, now designated as G10, were still in service with Deutsche Bundesbahn. Over time, the inventory steadily diminished due to conversions to Gms54 wagons, general fleet modernisation and the resulting decommissioning. In 1976, the last wagon of this type, now designated as Gklm191, was withdrawn from the maintenance fleet. However, many of these wagons remained in use as station or workshop vehicles.
The complete redesign of the freight cars has resulted in optimized engravings and other details that ensure even greater operational safety and handling. Furthermore, the BRAWA models of the new G10 freight cars are equipped with a large number of additional, finely crafted details:
- Short coupling cinematic
- True to original frame construction
- Individually mounted signal holder
- Brake blocks in wheel plane
- Perforated car body supports
- Precise paintwork and printing
- Individually mounted axle box cover
