The Fleischmann 5160003 Analog starter set offers an ideal introduction for model railroad newcomers and fans of classic railroads. With a detailed class 80 steam locomotive, two authentic passenger carriages and an electronic hand controller, this set is the perfect basis for immersing yourself in the fascinating world of N-scale model railroading. The ballast bed tracks included enable the construction of an oval with a layout size of 75 cm x 40 cm so that you can get going straight away.

The prototype: The class 80 steam locomotive

The class 80 was built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1920s and was designed as a robust shunting locomotive for smaller stations and freight yards. This steam locomotive is particularly compact and powerful and was frequently used in Era III on branch lines as well as in stations and factories. The BR 80 is very popular in model railroad history and brings nostalgic charm and historical authenticity to any model railroad layout.

Fleischmann - tradition and quality in model railroad construction

Fleischmann is known for high-quality and detailed models that are manufactured with precision and attention to detail. The analog starter set with the BR 80 is an excellent example of the manufacturer's quality and craftsmanship. The locomotive and passenger carriages are authentically designed and printed with great attention to detail. Fleischmann attaches great importance to the combination of realistic appearance and robust construction, making this starter set the perfect choice for model train fans of all ages.

Era III - The heyday of steam locomotives

Era III, which lasted from around 1949 to 1970, was a distinctive phase in railroad history in which steam locomotives in Germany reached their peak and also experienced their last years in active service. The class 80 included in the set is a typical representative of this period and embodies typical locomotive operation on branch lines and shunting yards. With this set, scenes from Era III can be authentically recreated on the model railway layout and the flair of this era brought to life.

Technical details of the Fleischmann 5160003: Easy handling and realistic equipment

The Fleischmann analog starter set includes a class 80 steam locomotive with three powered axles and a powerful 3-pole motor that ensures reliable and smooth running. Coupling is via an NEM 355 shaft with close-coupling kinematics, making it easy to integrate into existing train formations. Thanks to the in-house coupling, the cars can be safely connected to each other.

The ballast bed tracks included in the set enable the construction of an oval with a minimum radius of 192 mm. The track set includes five straight tracks (9101), eight curved tracks (9120) and a connecting track, making the layout ready for operation in no time at all. The supplied electronic hand controller and plug-in power supply unit ensure simple and convenient control of the train.

N gauge and direct current system for compact layouts

This set is designed in N scale (1:160) and offers a compact, detailed representation. The N gauge is ideal for smaller layouts and is perfect for beginners who want to create a realistic railroad layout in a small space. The direct current (DC) system ensures a smooth power supply and is designed for uncomplicated operation.

Realistic lettering and flexible application options

The steam locomotive and passenger carriages are provided with lettering from different railroad administrations, which supports the individual customization and design of the layout. This allows model railroaders to depict various scenarios of Era III and capture the atmosphere of the railroad world of that time in great detail. It is possible to retrofit interior lighting in the passenger carriages as an option, which makes the train even more realistic when running at night.

Conclusion: The Fleischmann starter set - a must for beginners and collectors
