BRAWA 46773 - H0 standard transit car BPwif-28 DB, command car

Role model information

At the beginning of the 1950s, the German Federal Railroad took up the Lübeck-Büchner Eisenbahn (LBE) idea of using passenger trains in push-pull service. The primary aim was to increase and simplify the frequency and operational processes in the busy route network of metropolitan areas by eliminating the time-consuming relocation of the train locomotive at the terminus.

From 1954 onwards, the HAGENUK is available for communication between the push-pull command car and the locomotive. Similar to a machine telegraph from shipping, the train driver could use it to transmit operating commands to the vehicle operator on the pushing locomotive, which had to be acknowledged. The system was designed in such a way that it could be used regardless of the type of traction, provided that the corresponding locomotive also had a command device.

To transmit the commands, the vehicles lined up in the push-pull trains were in addition to an additional 10 bar -Main air tank line retrofitted with a 15-pin control line and marked with the secondary category symbol “b”. The vehicles with a driver's cab were given an "f".

In total, the Essen, Frankfurt/Main, Hanover, Hamburg, and Wuppertal directorates had 26 command cars, which were in use until the first half of the 1960s goods.
