ESU 31751 H0 Diesel locomotive 220 060 DB, Era IV - Legendary design and technical precision
The ESU 31751 diesel locomotive 220 060 is an authentic replica of the famous V200 series of the German Federal Railroad. This locomotive embodies the striking elegance of the DB diesel locomotives of the 1950s and is a highlight for any model railway layout. With advanced digital technology, true-to-original sounds and a synchronized smoke generator, the model brings the power and style of the V200 of Era IV to the tracks of your layout.
The prototype: The V200 - style icon of the German Federal Railroad
The V200 was one of the first diesel locomotives of the young German Federal Railroad and is still a symbol of the new beginning and progress in the German railroad system today. Series production began in 1956, equipped with powerful 12-cylinder diesel engines from Daimler-Benz, MAN and Maybach, each with 1100 hp. The aluminum trim strips running in a "V" at the ends gave the V200 its unmistakable appearance. The locomotive was designed for passenger and freight traffic and enabled double traction and push-pull operation thanks to the multiple control system.
From the early 1970s, the decorative strips were removed and the locomotives were given a modernized paintwork, with the red and grey areas separated by a fine line. Although the locomotives were taken out of service at the end of the 1970s, many found a second life with foreign railroad companies in Italy, France and Spain.
Excellent model making from ESU - The 220 060 in high-quality metal design
The ESU 31751 is characterized by a precise replica of the prototype. The metal structure and frame give the model a high level of stability and value. The flat "V" elements on the ends, the perforated fan grilles and the realistically designed driver's cab with driver figure make this model a detailed reproduction of the famous DB diesel locomotive. The red-grey color scheme of Era IV and the separately applied grab irons and steps underline the authentic design and make the locomotive look impressive on any layout.
Technical highlights - Digital sound and realistic effects
The LokSound decoder with two high-quality loudspeakers provides an authentic sound experience and reproduces the characteristic sounds of the V200 Maybach engines in true detail. The load-dependent, synchronized smoke generator enhances the realistic impression, especially during slow shunting movements. The decoder supports the DCC, Motorola®, M4 and Selectrix protocols and thus enables a wide range of applications.
The locomotive is driven by a five-pole ESU motor with two flywheels, which guarantees a smooth and powerful ride. Drive is via cardan and worm gears on three axles, supported by two traction tires that provide additional traction. The PowerPack storage capacitor ensures an uninterrupted power supply, which facilitates operation even on demanding track sections.
Universal application options on DC and AC systems
Thanks to the universal electronics, the ESU 31751 diesel locomotive is suitable for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems. A plug-in slider and switch allow easy switching between two-wire and center conductor operation, making the model extremely flexible. The minimum radius of 360 mm allows a high degree of adaptability to different track layouts and layout sizes.
Detailed color scheme and prototypical design
The model is painted in the red-grey livery of Era IV, which reflects the design of the late V200. The striking bogie covers and separately applied details such as grab rails and steps make for an impressive look. The flat "V" on the front is the characteristic feature of the MaK-manufactured V200 locomotives and gives the model a unique appearance.
High-quality workmanship and robust equipment
The metal design and spring-loaded buffers make the model stable and durable. The coupler guided in the NEM shaft allows easy coupling with other H0 models and ensures versatility on your layout. This locomotive is ideal for collectors and model railroaders who are looking for a high-quality and robust model of the V200 for their fleet.
Lighting and additional effects
The light change depending on the direction of travel and the switchable head signals can be adapted to different scenarios. Switchable lighting in the driver's cab, on the driver's desk and in the engine room ensure a particularly realistic representation. Effects such as brake sparks and sensor-controlled curve noises create an impressive and lively atmosphere.
Conclusion: The ESU 31751 diesel locomotive 220 060 - A must for fans of Era IV
The ESU 31751 220 060 diesel locomotive is a high-quality model that embodies the characteristic elegance and strength of the V200 series. With realistic sounds, light and smoke effects and a detailed replica, this locomotive is a real highlight for any H0 model railway layout in Era IV. An indispensable model for collectors and fans of classic DB diesel locomotives.
