THEMA: Question about Brawa coaches
Hello everybody,
Recently I have purchased four DRG passenger cars from Brawa. The cars have four axles and have part numbers 1870-1873. They seem of great quality, but there is one thing that worries me, and is their small size in relation to other similar wagons from Fleischmann, for example. They seem very short and with low ceilings and small windows.
Do you know if they are in the correct scale?
Thanks

Hi,
I personally think these model are in the very correct scale, hence they look quite smaller than those from other manufacturers. However from my point of view, they do match a Fleischmann 24, 64 or 86 very well.

The coaches´ scale is absolutely correct.
These coaches are modelled after very early passenger cars rom Württemberg, that, even though the DRG models had been altered in the 1890s and 1910s, date back to the 1860s. At that time, they were built to resemble cars that ran on two-axle bogies in the USA, thus often having been referred to as "Amerikanerwagen".
I wouldn´t put them behind a 24, 64 or 86, as these engines were introduced in the 1930s, when most of these passenger cars were already gone. Personally, I´d prefer any 75 class (Arnold?), maybe even 18.4-5 (Arnold, Minitrix), 36 (Arnold) or 98 (Arnold, Minitrix), as those are engines that were introduced before WW1 and were in service in the 1920s, which is approximately the era to which the Brawa models date.
The "best" engine, of course, would be one from Württemberg rather than Badonia, Bavaria or Prussia like I suggested, but I´m not sure if these are available in N gauge. The AD (later: class 13) that Brawa makes in HO would be the perfect pulling power.
