The ESU 31767 H0 diesel locomotive V100 with the road number 112 268 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in an old red design is a model for all those who are looking for a functional locomotive of Era IV with a clear prototype connection. The designation is ESU 31767 BR112 diesel locomotive 112 268 old red DR Ep. IV sound + steam. This model depicts the prototypical condition around 1989, showing a locomotive from a late phase of DR operation in which the V100 family was already an integral part of everyday operation. The combination of sound, smoke, digitally switchable couplers as well as DC and AC operation makes it clear that the focus here is not only on the appearance, but also on the operating character.
The V100 and its later variants are among the best-known diesel locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. In this version as 112 268 in old red paintwork, the model brings a locomotive to the H0 layout that combines the typical appearance of this class family with extensive technical equipment. The result is a model that is just as interesting for modern digital operation as it is for collectors of DR vehicles from Era IV.
At the beginning of the 1960s, VEB Lokomotivbau "Karl Marx" and Elektrotechnische Werke "Hans Beimler" developed the V100 with the aim of using as many components of the V60 and V180 as possible. The maximum speed was 100 km/h. A total of 869 machines were built in several series, making the V100 the DR's most frequently built mainline locomotive. Even in the first few years of operation, it became apparent that the V100, or the 110 series as it was known from 1969, would not be able to replace all steam locomotive series with a similar requirement profile.
Advances in engine development and the installation of intercooling improved the performance and reliability of the 12KVD type. The final expansion stage of the 12-KVD engine was set at 1100 kW, almost 400 kW more than in the first series. After the last V100s were retired from DB AG in the 2010s, a considerable number were transferred to private railroad companies and museum railroads. The ESU 31767 model is dedicated to the 112 268 of the DR in prototype condition around 1989 and thus takes up a striking version of this well-known locomotive family.
The model has a body and frame made of metal and is designed as an H0 gauge vehicle with a 16.5 mm track gauge on a scale of 1:87. A bell-type armature motor with a flywheel provides the drive. Power is transmitted to all four axles via cardan/worm gears, supplemented by two traction tires. The locomotive is designed for DC 2-wire direct current and AC 3-wire alternating current. Universal electronics with plug-in slider and slide switch make it possible to switch between two-wire and center conductor operation.
The diesel locomotive is equipped with a LokSound 5 decoder for DCC, Motorola, M4 and Selectrix operation. Independent registration to control centers with RailComPlus or mfx functionality is also specified. The equipment is supplemented by a PowerPack storage capacitor for an uninterruptible power supply. The ESU 31767 is therefore designed for versatile digital use and combines solid basic construction with modern control technology.
A special feature of this model is the switchable smoke generator with smoke emission synchronized with the LokSound. There is also a high-quality loudspeaker with "Passive Radiator" technology for maximum sound enjoyment. Digitized original sounds of a 12 KVD 18/21 diesel engine serve as the acoustic basis. In addition, a squeaking noise is provided by a curve sensor when cornering slowly, which further enhances the operating impression.
Also noteworthy are the motor-driven fan wheels in the long front end, which start one after the other depending on the situation. There is also a digitally switchable coupling. This combination ensures that the locomotive not only moves during operation, but also has a very lively acoustic, visual and functional effect.
The ESU 31767 has extended lighting functions. The direction of travel-dependent light change is designed so that the lamps switch on one after the other in accordance with the prototype. The headlights on the train side can be switched off. There is also cab and driver's desk lighting as well as step lighting. The product data also mentions interior lighting. This means that the model offers numerous lighting functions that significantly enhance the impression when driving.
The exterior details are also extensive. Separately attached grab rails, partially perforated steps and filigree multi-piece grilles on the sides of the long front end emphasize the fine overall impression. The roof is removable and is held in place by magnets. This is complemented by a finely detailed, multi-colored driver's cab with driver figure and spring-loaded buffers. A pipette for filling the smoke generator is also included.
The locomotive belongs to Era IV and is assigned to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. As an H0 model, it is designed for DC 2-conductor direct current and AC 3-conductor alternating current. Sound, steam generator and buffer tank are included. The lighting is indicated as alternating in the direction of travel. The minimum passable radius is 360 mm. A length over buffers of 160.2 mm is listed for the 110 series, and a length of 163.7 mm is also listed in the general dimensions for 111 and 202.
With the ESU 31767 BR112 diesel locomotive 112 268 old red DR Ep. IV sound + steam, you get a model that combines the well-known V100 family of the Deutsche Reichsbahn with extensive digital technology and many operating functions. The prototype condition around 1989, the old red paint scheme, the combination of sound, smoke, digitally switchable couplers and extended light functions as well as the motor-driven fan wheels make this locomotive a particularly interesting model for the H0 scale. Anyone looking for a striking DR diesel locomotive with many technical highlights and a strong presence on the layout will find a suitable version here.
