BRAWA 48444 - H0 Open freight car Omu (O) DR

Role model information

After 1945, the DB has around a third of the almost 20,000 Om “Königsberg” built in its inventory. As one of the first types of wagons ever, 2,500 wagons were renumbered in 1951 and labeled with the ownership mark “DB” and the new designation “Om 21”. These cars will be the first to be added to the EUROP Park, which was founded with the SNCF. Cars that belonged to this pool were allowed to be treated by the participating railways as their own and therefore also used on transport routes within the country, while a third-party car was otherwise only allowed to be loaded in the direction of the home administration. Due to the changed circumstances caused by railway liberalization in many European countries, the EUROP pool has now been dissolved.

The open freight wagons of the “Königsberg” category that remained with the DR remained in use unchanged until the mid-1960s. In contrast to the DB, there is no conversion program and only minimal changes are made to planned damage groups. The Raw Dresden, the Raw “8. May” Eberswalde and the Raw “7. October” Zwickau. The wooden side walls are later often replaced with steel ones, the wheel sets are given roller bearings and the brakeman's cab is no longer needed.
