Description

Brawa 43850 H0 Class 187 electric locomotive, 187 513-7, METRANS, Ep. VI - Freight traffic meets innovation

The Brawa 43850 Class 187 electric locomotive represents the latest technology of the TRAXX 3 platform from Bombardier and is used for freight transportation by METRANS, among others. With its precise level of detail, versatile functions and impressive tractive power, this locomotive is an indispensable model for demanding model railroaders.

The further development of the TRAXX 3 series

The TRAXX 3 platform is the latest generation of the well-known TRAXX locomotives and includes models such as the 187 series, which is specially optimized for freight transport. The locomotives in this series are able to run independently off electrified routes with an optional last-mile module, which makes them extremely flexible. Since their market launch in 2011, over 200 of these locomotives have been in service throughout Europe.

Excellent detailing and high-quality materials

The body of the locomotive has ribbed side panels that reflect the characteristic design of the series. The etched tread plates and individually attached windscreen wipers underline the high level of detail of the model. The robust metal frame and many attached grab rails ensure stability and a realistic appearance.

Prototypical technology and lighting

The LED lighting including three-light headlights and red marker lights that change in the direction of travel provide a realistic replica of the prototype. The locomotive also has integrated cab lighting and a high beam that fades out and can be controlled digitally (when converted to digital operation). Thanks to the built-in flywheel mass, the locomotive starts up smoothly and evenly, even at low speeds.

Powerful driving characteristics

The two traction tires ensure maximum tractive force, while the close-coupling kinematics in accordance with the NEM standard guarantee safe and stable operation on the layout. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is versatile and fits on almost any model railway layout.

Conclusion: A must for modern model railroad layouts

The Brawa 43850 BR 187 electric locomotive combines technological innovation, high-quality materials and prototypical details that make it the perfect choice for freight traffic on modern H0 layouts. Thanks to the option of retrofitting with sound and digital functions, it offers flexibility for every model railroader.
