The Arnold HN2485S N steam locomotive BR 42 is an impressive replica of a heavy war locomotive of the German State Railroad Company (DRG) from Era II. The model is characterized in particular by its authentic camouflage paintwork, which these locomotives received during the Second World War for special operations. Thanks to the modern digital equipment with factory-installed sound decoder, the class 42 offers an exceptionally realistic driving experience on any N-gauge layout.

Prototype of the Arnold HN2485S: The robust class 42

The class 42 was a wartime locomotive developed for heavy freight traffic and built for the DRG from 1943. It was more robust and more powerful than the previously used BR 52 and was produced in large numbers. Some of these locomotives were given special camouflage paintwork to protect them from air raids. After the war, many of these locomotives continued to be used by various railroad administrations.
