Special technical features

A powerful bell-shaped armature motor with flywheel mass ensures smooth running characteristics. All four axles are driven by cardan and worm gears, two of them with traction tires. The LokSound 5 decoder offers a wide range of functions, including realistic sounds, synchronously controlled smoke generator, curve sensor with squealing noises and brake sparks. The locomotive is designed for direct and alternating current operation and can be changed over using a slide switch.

Historical background

The class 211, also known as the V100.10, was a universally applicable diesel locomotive of the German Federal Railroad. It was used on branch lines, in light freight traffic and for shunting. The locomotive number 211 058-3 is exemplary for this series in the transition period of the German Federal Railroad between the economic miracle and modern electrification.

Compatibility & possible uses

The locomotive is suitable for both direct and alternating current systems and can therefore be used particularly flexibly in mixed layouts. It is compatible with all common digital command stations, including RailComPlus® and mfx®, and is ideal for digital model railway layouts that rely on realistic operating behavior.
