The model is built in H0 scale and designed for the 2L DC system. Its digital sound capabilities make the locomotive an immediate asset for modern layout designs. As a diesel locomotive from the Privatbahn railway company, it is highly versatile and fits well into current operational scenarios, freight train scenes, and modern train formations.

Diesel Locomotive with an International Prototype History

The provided prototype information describes locomotives that were originally built for Norges Statsbaner as the Di.6 series by Maschinenbau Kiel in Kiel. In 1998, these locomotives returned from Norway. After extensive modifications and adaptations at Danske Statsbaner, they were added to Dispolok’s fleet as ME26s and leased to various rail operators.

They were primarily used in freight service. Between 2000 and 2004, several locomotives were in service as leased vehicles for the Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois. There, among other things, they were used to haul scrap trains from Bettembourg to Ehrang near Trier. This history makes the model particularly appealing to model railroaders who wish to depict cross-border freight transport and the use of modern private railway rolling stock.

Prototype-accurate design for discerning model railroaders

The model impresses with its true-to-prototype design of the body and undercarriage. Numerous intricate details ensure that the locomotive maintains a high-quality appearance even upon closer inspection. Many components are separately mounted, giving the diesel locomotive a particularly three-dimensional and realistic appearance.

The fine paint finish and precise decals match the prototype and underscore the high-quality standards of this ASM model. Especially for collectors who value clean lettering, accurate proportions, and fine details, this model offers an attractive addition to any H0 collection.

Digital Sound Locomotive for DC Operation

The ASM 79220 is designed for the 2L DC system and is digitally equipped. The sound function creates a particularly lively operating experience on the layout. The lighting features a red-to-white light change, and LEDs are specified as the light source. This gives the locomotive a modern lighting effect and makes it look particularly authentic when in motion.

Power is provided by a high-performance five-pole motor with a flywheel. The transmission is tuned to prototypical speeds. The locomotive features close-coupling mechanisms on both ends with NEM coupler mounts, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into compatible train sets. If you’d like to expand your H0 layout with a digital diesel locomotive featuring sound, fine detailing, and a strong private railway character, the ASM Arndt Spezial Model 79220 is an excellent choice.
