Era IV and the significance of locomotive 001 150-2

Steam locomotive 001 150-2 represents the long-lived DB express locomotives that were used in Era IV on the main lines between the Rhine, Lahn, Spessart and Wetterau in Hesse and Thuringia. These class 01 locomotives were known for their high performance and flexibility and were stationed in various cities such as Darmstadt, Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. This 001 150-2 with open front apron and Witte wind deflectors is an outstanding model that impressively captures the elegance and reliability of these express locomotives.

Detailed design and historic color scheme

The model of the 001 150-2 is painted in black and features characteristic details such as the Witte wind deflectors and the 2'2' T34 tender. The open front apron and the fine reproduction of the view between the boiler and chassis give the model an authentic appearance. The tender offers additional attention to detail and emphasizes the careful reproduction of this express locomotive.

LED lighting and digital light functions

The LED headlights change depending on the direction of travel and provide realistic lighting at both ends of the vehicle. In addition, the driver's cab lighting and the engine light can be switched digitally, making the model ideal for realistic night driving and dark scenarios. These digitally controlled lighting options provide an impressive display and add realism to your model railroad layout.

Built-in sound decoder for a realistic sound experience

The 001 150-2 steam locomotive is equipped with a sound decoder that reproduces the characteristic steam locomotive sound and other typical operating sounds. The digitally controllable sound effects give the model a high degree of authenticity and make the operating experience even more intense. With realistic steam and signal sounds, this locomotive will be an acoustic highlight on your N layout.

Technical specifications and dimensions

The model has a length over buffers (LLP) of 150 mm and has been developed for the N-gauge scale (1:160). With two powered axles and two traction tires, the locomotive has high tractive power and is suitable for operating heavy express trains. The minimum radius of 192 mm also allows use on tighter curves, making the locomotive flexible for different sections of track.

Digital interface and coupling system

The locomotive is equipped with a Next18 interface, which enables easy integration into digital control systems. The NEM 355 shaft with close coupling kinematics ensures a stable connection between locomotive and tender, while the KK coupler ensures close and realistic train formation. This coupling technology offers a secure hold and flexible handling in the train formation.

Conclusion: A powerful model for demanding N model railroaders

The Fleischmann 714570 steam locomotive 001 150-2 is an excellent model that reproduces the historic express train power of Era IV in authentic detail. With its precise lighting, built-in sound decoder and robust running characteristics, this locomotive is a perfect choice for model railroaders who appreciate the charm and performance of classic steam locomotives.
