BRAWA 58136 - H0 express train carriage Bm234 DB

Model information

The Federal Railway Central Office (BZA) Minden of the German Federal Railway (DB) developed a type program for 26.4 m long-distance passenger coaches (Group 53) around 1952.

Under the direction of Dr.-Ing. Adolf Mielich created a range of cars designed as a modular system. He took up his designs from the Reichsbahn era, as well as many modern elements such as the closed rubber bead transitions and 1000 and 1200 mm wide translation windows. It differed from the pre-war car types by the straight number of compartments and symmetrical car halves, which made it possible to combine the same or different car classes as well as dining and packing rooms.

After nine test cars in 1952, series production began in 1955. The B4ümg-54 passenger coaches (1225 units) offered 2nd class passengers only three seats per bench for the first time, instead of the previous four. This improvement in comfort in the “passenger coach for the people” was very well received by the passengers.

The first-class A4ümg-54 coach (199 units) was an example of the increased travel comfort of that time. The cars left the factory in an elegant, dark blue paintwork and were primarily assigned to the DB's F train units. The car group 53 was completed by the mixed-class AB4ümg-55 (357 pieces) and from the end of the 1950s by the semi-luggage cars of the type BPw4üm-58/59 (138 pieces).

Through Their groundbreaking innovations were the carriages and the later conversions derived from them, which would be an integral part of DB passenger trains for decades to come. So it is not surprising that some of the last cars were only taken out of service at the beginning of the 1990s, or then began a second life in museum traffic.
