The ESU 31100 steam locomotive class 94 1292 is an impressive H0 model that will make the hearts of model train enthusiasts beat faster. This class 94 steam locomotive from Era III/IV, which was used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in shunting and local freight train service, is reproduced by ESU in great detail and to the highest technical standard. The locomotive impresses with numerous fine details, authentic sound and smoke effects as well as the flexible use on DC and AC systems. This makes the ESU 31100 a real highlight for any model train collection.
The T16.1 series, later classified as the BR 94, was built for the steep routes and demanding shunting work of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Originally designed as a heavy tender locomotive for use in local freight and shunting services, the T16.1 proved its versatility and reliability on demanding routes, especially in mountainous terrain. The locomotive was known for its robustness and its Riggenbach back-pressure brake, which optimized its braking performance on downhill gradients. It was in use on German tracks until Era IV, which makes this model particularly attractive for fans of historic railroads.
ESU is regarded as a leading manufacturer of model railway technology and combines excellent workmanship with the highest level of detail in the ESU 31100. Large parts of the locomotive are made of metal and are equipped with filigree details such as free-standing handle bars and separate lanterns, which give the model a high-quality and authentic look. This accurate reproduction of historical features demonstrates ESU's dedication to the art of model building and creates a model that will impress even the most demanding model railroader.
Era III and the beginning of Era IV (approx. 1949 to 1970) were the period in which the Deutsche Reichsbahn continued to make intensive use of steam locomotives before they were increasingly replaced by diesel and electric locomotives. The BR 94 is an authentic example of the typical workhorses of that time and gives model railroaders the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of this historic era on their layout.
The ESU 31100 steam locomotive is equipped with a modern ESU LokSound V4.0 M4 decoder, which delivers high-quality sound effects. The acoustics of the Riggenbach back-pressure brake can be activated by pressing a function key when traveling downhill. Various realistic sounds such as air and feed pumps have been precisely recreated and provide a real driving experience. In addition, the axial sensor-controlled smoke generator ensures realistic steam development, which rises from the chimney depending on the load and synchronized with the wheel movement.
Another highlight is the PowerPack storage capacitor, which guarantees an uninterrupted power supply and ensures a smooth ride even on problematic track sections. The locomotive responds to even the finest control commands and offers an exceptionally realistic driving experience.
The ESU 31100 steam locomotive BR 94 1292 is universally designed for use on direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems and therefore offers maximum flexibility for different model railway systems. The minimum radius of 420 mm guarantees safe and stable running even on large curves and ensures ideal running characteristics on H0 layouts.
The model is presented in classic black, which corresponds to the characteristic appearance of the DR steam locomotives. The precise reproduction of the wheel spiders and spokes, combined with the fine representation of the thin wheel tires, underlines the attention to detail that has gone into the production of this model. ESU has also faithfully reproduced separately attached parts such as handle bars and lanterns so that the BR 94 1292 is a real eye-catcher on any layout.
The BR 94 1292 is made of robust materials such as metal, brass and high-quality plastic and can withstand intensive operation on the model railway layout. The stable bell-type armature motor with flywheel mass ensures smooth and powerful running, while spring buffers and an automatic coupling in the standard shaft in accordance with NEM 362 ensure perfect compatibility with other wagons and locomotives. This high-quality workmanship guarantees that the model will provide long-term enjoyment.
The locomotive is equipped with warm white LEDs that create realistic lighting. In addition to the light changing between white and red, the model has driver's cab lighting and a firebox light that lights up in sync with the sound function. The shunting light also lights up on both sides and makes the locomotive ideal for authentic shunting runs.
The ESU 31100 steam locomotive BR 94 1292 brings one of the most famous steam locomotives of the German Reichsbahn to the model railway layout in a detailed and technically sophisticated form. With extensive sound and smoke effects, robust construction and the option of using it on DC and AC systems, this locomotive is a must for model railroaders and collectors who value authenticity and quality. The BR 94 1292 from ESU impresses with its realistic design and the numerous functions that make it a real gem on any model railway layout.
