Brawa 61223 N diesel locomotive 216, DB AG, Ep. V, DC-Sound Product Details

Description

Are you looking for a digitized diesel locomotive with sound for your N layout?

The Brawa 61223 N Deutsche Bahn AG class 216 diesel locomotive is a detailed model with a factory-installed digital decoder and true-to-original locomotive sound. Equipped with LED headlights, rear train lighting, driver's cab lighting and a 5-pole motor with drive on all axles, it is the perfect model for demanding N-railroaders of Era V.

Model information & technical data

The locomotive is manufactured for N gauge (scale 1:160) and measures 100 mm over buffers. It is designed for 2-wire direct current (DC) operation and is digitized at the factory, including sound function. The Next18 decoder is already installed. Thanks to the NEM 355 coupling shaft, the model is safe to operate and easy to integrate into existing train formations.

Technology & lighting

The locomotive is equipped with a 5-pole motor and offers prototypical speed and excellent tractive power thanks to drive on all axles. The LED headlights change white/red depending on the direction of travel, and there are also rear headlights and cab lighting - for maximum realism in operation.

Prototype history: The universal V160 / BR 216

The class 216 was one of the DB's best-known diesel locomotives and 214 units were built between 1964 and 1968. It was used for passenger and freight services and replaced the twin-engine V200 series. Its area of operation extended from northern Germany to the south, where it was also used under DB AG until the 2000s. The locomotive 216 143-8 shown here is one of the later series locomotives and was active until its retirement in 2004.

For modern N layouts with a focus on Era V

The Brawa 61223 BR 216 with digital sound not only brings true-to-original sounds and light functions to your layout, but also powerful driving characteristics with compact dimensions. Ideal for modern layouts with a DBAG focus and for all those who appreciate maximum technology on a scale of 1:160.
