BRAWA 50879 - H0 bulk goods wagon Fads 176 DB, set of 3

Role model information

To transport large quantities of moisture-resistant bulk goods such as ore, coal and coke, the DB purchased several types of open self-unloading wagons from 1969 onwards. In addition to the Fads 176 according to the UIC standard, the Fads 175 were created, which differ in the flap closures, among other things, according to the more specific guidelines of the UIC leaflet 571.3. The Fads 177 was also built on the same basic design. In order to ensure problem-free handling of goods in older loading systems, the Fads 177, in contrast to the Fads 175, had very low car upper bodies and were used exclusively for ore transport.

All Types were delivered with BA 664, 664.1 and sometimes Y25 bogies. The latter were also used in the 1990s to replace the crack-prone bogies of the BA 644. The wagons were used almost exclusively in block trains. Especially at the beginning of the operational period, the ore traffic from the port of Emden to the Ruhr and Saar areas stood out. Until October 1977, the trains, each consisting of two 25-car train sections and weighing up to 4,000 tons, were mostly pulled over the Emsland route by two BR 044/043 locomotives.
