The ESU 31283 C66 513-10 diesel locomotive in the Lineas version brings the power and robustness of the Class 66 series in Era VI to your model railway layout. This H0 locomotive combines state-of-the-art technology with authentic design and enables a realistic driving experience thanks to extensive sound and smoke effects. The model is suitable for both direct current and alternating current systems and, with a length over buffers (LüP) of 247 mm, offers a detailed realization of the legendary Class 66 locomotive.
The Class 66, also known as the JT 42 CWR, was developed by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in the USA and has been indispensable in European freight transport since the early 2000s. The locomotive is based on the proven design of the American SD40-2 and has been specially adapted for use in Europe. It is in operation in numerous European countries, including Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark and Norway. With its powerful 12-cylinder, two-stroke 12N-710G3B-EC engine, which generates 3194 hp (2350 kW), and a starting tractive effort of 409 kN, the Class 66 is ideal for heavy freight traffic and can easily keep up with high speeds on main lines. The locomotive's robust construction and reliability have earned it an excellent reputation among train drivers.
The ESU 31283 impresses with its precise workmanship and numerous detailed features that capture the character of the Class 66. The body, frame and gearboxes are made of high-quality metal, giving the locomotive a high degree of stability. Openwork fans in the roof area and the detailed driver's cab with driver figure perfectly reflect the original. The black paintwork and the striking Lineas logos make the model an eye-catcher on any layout.
With a LokSound decoder and two high-quality loudspeakers, the locomotive offers an acoustically impressive reproduction of the original. The digitized sounds include the characteristic diesel noise as well as sensor-controlled curve noises. A load-dependent smoke generator works in sync with the sound and enhances the realistic appearance of the locomotive. The smoke generator can be easily refilled using the pipette supplied.
Power is transmitted by a powerful five-pole ESU motor with two flywheels, which ensures smooth running on all four driven axles. Four traction tires guarantee additional traction and make it easy to pull heavy freight cars. The PowerPack storage capacitor ensures a reliable power supply and guarantees smooth operation even on demanding track sections.
Thanks to the universal electronics, the ESU 31283 is suitable for DC and AC systems and offers simple changeover between two-wire and center conductor operation with a plug-in slider and changeover switch. The passable minimum radius of 360 mm offers flexibility for use on different layouts and system configurations.
The locomotive is painted in the classic Lineas livery in an elegant black with striking Lineas logos typical of Era VI. The separately applied grab rails, steps and detailed bogie covers give the locomotive a realistic appearance. The solid construction and the angular body make the C66 an impressive model that authentically represents the power and presence of the Class 66 on the model railway layout.
The use of robust metal for the frame and body ensures a long service life for the locomotive. Spring-loaded buffers and the couplers guided in the NEM shaft ensure a high level of compatibility with other H0 models and make the model particularly easy to use and stable in operation. This locomotive is ideal for collectors and model railroaders who value quality and attention to detail.
The ESU 31283 offers a light change depending on the direction of travel as well as switchable country-specific light functions. The driver's cab and driver's desk lighting can be controlled individually and create a realistic atmosphere. Additional effects such as brake sparks and the smoke generator that works in sync with the engine noise make the model a fascinating experience on the layout.
The ESU 31283 C66 513-10 diesel locomotive is a high-quality model that impressively brings the power and reliability of the Class 66 series to the model railway layout. With its detailed design, extensive sound and smoke effects and robust workmanship, it is a must-have for all fans of modern diesel locomotives and European freight traffic. The combination of versatility and technical sophistication makes this model an indispensable element on any H0 layout.
