BRAWA 50752 - H0 tank car 2-axle R CSD

Role model information

In the mid-1930s, advances in lightweight construction led to new generations in wagon construction in rapid succession. The introduction of welded boilers allowed weight savings, which benefited increased loading weight. As a result, from the end of the 1930s, the wheelbase of the classic two-axle tank car design was increased from 4.00 m to 4.50 m. The running gear corresponded to the design developed at the same time for the welded DR cars and was notable for its long suspension springs for smooth running, even at higher speeds. The resulting design was built in very large numbers by many European wagon factories until 1943 - MAN alone delivered 2,250 units, although there was no classic tank wagon manufacturer. In addition to a few private sellers, deliveries were made primarily to the German Reich's front companies as part of the war preparations. These included “Wifo” and various “Oelvereine”. The adjuster was more clearly named “ Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven”; these cars were used to supply fuel to the submarine fleet. In total, well over 10,000 of these cars with boilers of 20 m3, 22 m3 and 26.5 m3 were probably built. After the war, they were scattered all over Europe and were used as private cars by numerous companies in the petroleum industry. In addition to the classic gray and black paintwork, many also received eye-catching advertising paintwork from white and yellow (Mobil / Shell) to green and blue (Texaco / Aral). The last cars were still in use at the DR in 1989.
