BRAWA 45400 DRG 4-axle luggage car Pw4u16 in green
(HO scale) Four axle luggage car class Pw4u 16 of the German Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft DRG in green livery and emblems of era II. When it first became evident that iron express train cars carriages were going to be a success, the Preußische Staatsbahn purchased additional four-axle luggage cars in the “iron construction type”. The principal dimensions of the existing wooden cars were retained, though the construction design was modified for the use of iron profiles. One external modification was the replacement of doors fitted in niches at the end of the cars with a slanted design for the entire rear end. Other features included rivets like the ones found on the side walls of passenger cars and the omission of the truss rods. This is the design used for express train cars with concertina walls and for express trains that had compart-ment passenger cars without connecting gangways until the late nineteen twenties. Prussian-type luggage cars were typical features of express trains until the nineteen fifties. Many of them passed on to the DB and DR. Epoch II, full interiors, NEM couplers, length: 214mm.
