steam loco G 4/5 H of the Royal Bavarian State Railroad, aka DRG BR 56.8; type 2-8-0, 4 cylinders
It was the largest, most powerful and most modern German locomotive with this wheel arrangement. The last ones were taken our of service in 1947. Now the G 4/5 H is making its comeback as a Brawa H0 gauge model in two versions with fascinating details. High quality: chassis, wheels and rigging in die-cast zinc. Affectionate: details such as a fully functioning drive train, true-to-original back boiler plate, driver and stoker in the cab, driver´s cab light, doors that open and close, real coal for the tender. Audible and visible extras: sound and smoke generator, either built-in or as a retrofit option.
The G 4/5 H is a convincing model with true-to-original details such as fittings and attachement, lights, paintwork and lettering. It´s the details that make the difference. The Bavarian model has 3 rim lights, number plates on the side of the boiler and one rear light on the tender. Boiler, driver´s cab and tender painted in green, the wheels in red.
