ESU 31185 H0 steam locomotive 1126, K.W.St.B., Ep.I, DC+AC-sound

ESU 31185 H0 Steam locomotive 1126, K.W.St.B., Era I - A masterpiece of Prussian steam locomotive technology

The ESU 31185 steam locomotive 1126 is a detailed replica of the classic Prussian tank locomotive T18, which was used by the Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen (K.W.St.B.) in Era I. This H0 scale model combines fascinating historical aesthetics with the latest technology. With a LokSound 5 decoder, synchronized cylinder steam and the ability to run on both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) layouts, the 1126 is a versatile and high-quality addition to any model railway layout.

Historical prototype: The T18 as a universal locomotive of the K.W.St.B.

The T18 series, also known as the Prussian tender locomotive, was built between 1912 and 1927 and developed into the most successful passenger locomotive of its time. Its symmetrical design and high output of 1140 hp made it the ideal locomotive for main and branch lines. The 1126 was one of numerous locomotives that ran for the K.W.St.B. in Era I and was characterized by its robustness, speed and versatility. With a top speed of up to 90 km/h, it could also pull light express trains and was used well into the 1970s.

State-of-the-art technology and high level of detail

The ESU 31185 steam locomotive 1126 impresses with its advanced technology and numerous detailed functions that perfectly recreate the historical experience. The model is equipped with a LokSound 5 decoder that produces realistic sound effects and automatically registers the model with Märklin® mfx and DCC command stations. A highlight is the timed cylinder steam, which is controlled synchronously with the sound and brings the real steam locomotive feeling to your model railroad layout. The bell-shaped armature motor with flywheel mass ensures smooth running characteristics and enables prototypical tractive power.

Flexible operation for direct current and alternating current systems

With the universal electronics, the 1126 steam locomotive can be operated on both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems. Switching between the systems is done simply by removing or attaching the slider and changing a switch in the locomotive floor. This offers maximum flexibility for model railroaders and allows the locomotive to be used on different layouts.

Realistic lighting and numerous details

The locomotive has extensive lighting options that make the model look particularly realistic. In addition to the typical headlights, the model is equipped with running gear and driver's cab lighting, which provides an atmospheric setting for the model in the dark. The digitally controllable couplers, which are compatible with the ESU universal coupler and Märklin® couplers, as well as the spring buffers and metal wheels underline the high quality of workmanship of this model.

Conclusion: A high-quality model for collectors and fans of Era I

The ESU 31185 steam locomotive 1126 is an ideal choice for model railroaders who value attention to detail and technical finesse. The combination of authentic sound, synchronized cylinder steam and true-to-original appearance makes this locomotive a highlight on any H0 layout. The locomotive brings a piece of Era I railroad history to your layout and is a must for all fans of the K.W.St.B. and early German railroads.
