Brawa
Brawa from Remshalden near Stuttgart has stood since 1948 for high-quality model railways and accessories in H0 scale (1:87). The name is an acronym for "Brauer Artur, Waiblingen" — named after the company founder. Today the range comprises 5.802 models and is among the quality leaders of the German model railway market.
The programme covers locomotives, passenger and freight cars with a focus on German prototypes of all eras. Brawa is particularly known for its excellent detailing, prototypical liveries and innovative technology. Many locomotives come factory-fitted with a digital interface and sound decoder.
Alongside rolling stock, Brawa offers an extensive lighting range — from station lamps to street lights to signals. These accessories are very popular with model railroaders and complement the vehicle models perfectly.

Brawa models are available in the direct-current (DC) system, though many locomotives are also offered in an AC digital version for Märklin layouts. Brawa is among the quality leaders of the German model railway market and caters to discerning modellers who value the highest level of detail.
