Description

Brawa 70172 H0 Diesel locomotive V100 1019, UEF, Ep. VI - A classic in a modern version

The Brawa 70172 V100 1019 diesel locomotive embodies a historic legend of German railroad history that became famous for its technical innovation and versatility. The model in the Era VI version reflects the unique combination of reliable technology and modern attention to detail that still keeps this locomotive in service today.

The role model - The V100 as a symbol of the German economic miracle

The development of the V100 began as part of the 1955 diesel locomotive type program with the aim of creating a powerful locomotive for branch line service, which quickly became a symbol of structural change. The locomotives built from 1958 onwards replaced numerous steam locomotives and shaped the image of the modern German Federal Railways. Thanks to its versatility, the V100 was widely used on branch lines and main lines, in passenger and freight trains. Many of the more than 744 locomotives built are still in use today and are particularly popular with private railroad operators due to their robustness.

The Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunde (UEF) have dedicated themselves to the preservation of this piece of German railroad history by taking over and restoring the V100 1019. With this model, Brawa is bringing a detailed replica of this locomotive to the model railroad tracks.

High-quality model realization with realistic equipment

The model of the V100 1019 is characterized by excellent detail work. Etched radiator and fan grilles, free-standing grab rails and a fully reproduced driver's cab ensure an authentic appearance. The clear view through the driver's cab and the finely engraved running gear underline the high quality of this replica. The robust die-cast zinc chassis and gearbox also guarantee a long service life.

Technology for analog and digital operation

The model is designed for analog operation, but thanks to the PluX22 interface, it can be easily converted to the digital version with extensive additional functions. This means that sound, cab lighting, automatic uncoupling and much more can be retrofitted if required.

Conclusion - A must for fans of classic diesel locomotives

The Brawa 70172 H0 diesel locomotive V100 1019 is a successful blend of tradition and technical sophistication. Perfectly suited for collectors and model railroad fans who want to experience an authentic piece of German railroad history on their layouts.
