The ESU 31361 C77 247 059 diesel locomotive in the ECR (Euro Cargo Rail) version is a highly detailed replica of the powerful Class 66/77. This H0 locomotive is ideal for heavy goods traffic and brings the authentic appearance and technical strength of the prototype to your model railway layout. With an extensive range of functions, including realistic sound and synchronized smoke, as well as the ability to run on DC and AC systems, the locomotive meets the expectations of demanding model railroaders.
The American Electro-Motive Division (EMD) developed the Class 66/77 for the European market as a robust, cost-effective locomotive specially designed for heavy freight trains. Its design is based on the proven American SD40-2 and was adapted to the requirements of European railroad companies. With its powerful 12-cylinder two-stroke engine, which delivers 3194 hp (2350 kW) and a starting tractive effort of 409 kN, the Class 66 effortlessly handles even the most demanding loads. Today, these locomotives are in operation in numerous European countries such as Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands and are characterized by their reliability. ECR, a subsidiary of the French SNCF, uses the Class 66/77 in its characteristic colors for international freight transport.
The ESU 31361 impresses with a detailed replica and is made of robust metal. The body, frame and gearboxes are made of high-quality metal and guarantee durability and stability. Openwork fans in the roof area and the elaborately designed driver's cab with driver figure provide an authentic representation of the original. In the beige ECR paint scheme, the locomotive fits in perfectly with modern freight trains and is an eye-catcher on any model railroad layout.
With a LokSound decoder and two high-quality loudspeakers, the locomotive provides realistic diesel sounds that perfectly imitate the original. The smoke generator works in sync with the engine noise, creating a realistic exhaust effect that is particularly impressive at low speeds. The smoke can be easily refilled using the pipette supplied.
Drive is provided by a powerful five-pole ESU motor with two flywheels, which ensures even power transmission to all four driven axles. Four traction tires ensure a high tractive force so that the locomotive can also transport heavy freight cars without any problems. The PowerPack storage capacitor ensures an uninterrupted power supply and enables operation even on difficult track sections.
The universal electronics of the ESU 31361 allow operation on direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems. An integrated plug-in slider and switch make it easy to switch between two-wire and center conductor operation. The minimum radius of 360 mm ensures flexibility for use on different layout designs.
The locomotive is painted in the modern beige ECR paint scheme, which is typical for Era VI and makes the model a real eye-catcher. Separately applied grab rails, steps and detailed bogie covers give the locomotive an authentic appearance. The angular body and the solid bogies make the model a striking addition to any layout.
Thanks to its sturdy metal construction and spring-loaded buffers, the locomotive is ideal for regular use on the model railway layout. The link-guided coupler in the NEM shaft ensures reliable coupling and makes the model particularly compatible with other H0 models. This locomotive meets the highest demands in terms of quality and attention to detail.
The model offers a light change depending on the direction of travel as well as switchable country-specific light functions that make it possible to switch off the head signal on the train side. The driver's cab and driver's desk lighting can also be controlled individually, creating a realistic driving experience. Additional effects such as brake sparks and the smoke generator working synchronously with the motor create an impressive visual experience.
The ESU 31361 C77 247 059 diesel locomotive is a high-quality model that brings the robustness and reliability of the Class 66/77 series to the model railway layout. The detailed workmanship, impressive sound and lighting effects make this model an excellent choice for collectors and model railroaders looking for a realistic driving experience. The combination of modern technology and authentic design make this locomotive an indispensable item for every H0 fan of European freight transportation.
