Operating Instructions
Diesel locomotive BR 232 – H0
The diesel-electric passenger train locomotive 232 impressively unites
the creativity of railway designers from the Soviet Union and the former
German Democratic Republic. This experience you can now relive on
your model railroad with the imposing BRAWA 232 series model. The
developmental history of these 2200 kW strong diesel locomotives starts
with the thorough optimization of the Russian pre-stages 130 and 131
by order of the East German State Railways. The task was to satisfy the
requirements of the heavy passenger train service on the main lines of
the East German State Railways. For this reason it was e.g. necessary
to extend the vehicle length to LOB = 20.820 mm for the purpose of
installing the electric train heating facility. Further modifications
concerned the diesel engine's speed governor, the driver's cab heating,
the preheating device as well as the wiring of the electropneumatic
brake. In 1973, the first delivery of the 132 series, later renamed 232,
by the Soviet diesel locomotive factory „October Revolution" in
Woroschilowgrad to the East German State Railways commenced with
initially 42 vehicles.
nd
On the 22 of July 1983, the procurement of this up to 140 km/h fast
series which had proven immensely competent in the field, was
concluded with the ceremonial handing over of a locomotive to the
engine shed Reichenbach. With its exceptional resemblence to the
model, the BRAWA heavy diesel locomotive model of the 232 now
offers you the opportunity to perfectly reconstruct the renewal
programme of the East German State Railways on your H0-model
railroad.
