ESU 31289 H0 Diesel locomotive C77 66587 ONE, Era VI - Powerful freight traffic in a striking ONE design

The ESU 31289 C77 66587 diesel locomotive in the eye-catching design of the ONE railroad company is an impressive model of the well-known Class 66/77. The locomotive impresses with its state-of-the-art technology, comprehensive digital functions and detailed sound effects. With a length over buffers (LLP) of 247 mm and the ability to run on both direct current and alternating current systems, the locomotive offers versatile operational readiness and impresses with its high level of authenticity.

The prototype: Class 66 - Proven freight locomotive for Europe

The Class 66/77 was developed by the American Electro-Motive Division (EMD) for the European market and has been in service with many railroad companies since the early 2000s. With a power output of 3194 hp and a starting tractive effort of 409 kN, the JT 42 CWR M - as the locomotive is also known - is ideal for heavy goods traffic. The Class 66/77 impresses with its robust design, which is based on the proven American SD40-2, as well as its characteristic, elongated silhouette. In numerous European countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands and England, it is used by both railroad companies and leasing companies.

ESU - High-quality technology and first-class model making

The ESU 31289 offers a detailed replica and is made of robust metal, which gives it a high degree of stability. The model has openwork fans in the roof area and a detailed driver's cab with driver figure. The eye-catching pink paintwork of the locomotive in ONE design is characteristic of modern Era VI freight trains and makes it a real eye-catcher on any model railway layout.

Technical highlights of the ESU 31289 - Digital functions and impressive sound

Together with two high-quality loudspeakers, the LokSound decoder provides a realistic soundscape that authentically reproduces the powerful diesel sound of the Class 66/77. A load-dependent smoke generator, which works in sync with the sound, creates an impressive exhaust simulation that makes the model appear even more alive. The smoke generator can be easily filled using the pipette supplied.

The locomotive is driven by a five-pole ESU motor with two flywheels, which ensures smooth running characteristics. Drive is via cardan and worm gears on four axles, supported by four traction tires, which ensures high tractive power. The PowerPack storage capacitor ensures an uninterrupted power supply, which facilitates operation even on demanding track sections.

Universally applicable on DC and AC systems

Thanks to the integrated universal electronics, the ESU 31289 diesel locomotive is suitable for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems. A plug-in slider and switch make it easy to switch between two-wire and center conductor operation, and with a minimum radius of 360 mm, the model is ideal for various layout designs.

True to the original color scheme and design

The diesel locomotive appears in the eye-catching ONE design in pink, which reflects Era VI and represents a modern image of freight transportation. Separately applied grab rails, steps and detailed bogie covers give the locomotive a realistic appearance. The angular shape and the long bogies make the model look like a powerful part of any modern model railway layout.

High-quality equipment and durability

The stable design of the locomotive, coupled with high-quality materials such as a robust metal frame and sprung buffers, ensures a long service life and reliable operation. The splitter-guided coupler in the NEM shaft enables easy coupling and ensures a high level of compatibility with other H0 models, making the model particularly versatile.

Lighting and additional effects

The locomotive has a light change depending on the direction of travel as well as country-specific light functions. The cab and driver's desk lighting can be switched, which makes driving even more realistic. Additional effects such as brake sparks and the synchronized smoke generator make the model particularly lively and create an impressive atmosphere.
