BRAWA 44080 DB BR465 electric railcar with trailer in red DC
(HO scale) Electric railcar set class BR465 with trailer of the German Deutsche Bundesbahn DB in red livery. At the end of the 1950s, the electric power cars of the ET 65 series had become worn out through hard daily use. The acquisition of a replacement vehicle was out of the question for various reasons. Thus the DB decided to completely refurbish the vehicles. All 23 power cars still in existence were therefore taken to the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt depot and completely reworked between 1961 and 1963. The complete renovation of the front part was the most obvious. The previous connecting doors were removed, the smooth surface front was equipped with 2 large rubber-mounted windows. At the other end, rubber beadings were attached to panels in order to give weather protection when moving from car to car. The operator stands were completely modernised, an inductive train protection system was the safety standard at that time. The passenger comfort was significantly increased by new lighting and padded seats. In the modernised form, the ET 65 or from 1968 465 power car was in reliable daily service until its replacement by the S-Bahn in 1977. Epoch IV, bi-directional headlights, Digital ready with NEM652 interface, operating pantographs, full interiors, fitted with interior lighting, length: 466mm.
