Fleischmann 7170001 N Steam locomotive 52 5354-7, DR, Ep. IV: Powerful steam locomotive with sound and light

The Fleischmann 7170001 N steam locomotive 52 5354-7 is a detailed replica of the Deutsche Reichsbahn steam locomotive from Era IV. This locomotive has a factory-installed sound decoder and offers realistic operating sounds as well as illuminated headlights that change depending on the direction of travel. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 144 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, this locomotive is ideal for N-gauge layouts and brings an impressive presence to any model railway layout.

The model is based on the locomotive 52 5354-7, which underwent a general repair (GR) at the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW) Stendal after the Second World War. These repairs included the replacement of worn components and the removal of war-related refinements. The locomotive retained its original road number and continued to be used in regular railroad service.

Prototype: The class 52 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 52 was one of the best-known German steam locomotives and was developed during the Second World War as a "war locomotive". Its robust construction and the possibility of easy maintenance made it particularly suitable for use in difficult conditions. After the war, many of these locomotives continued to be used, and from 1959 RAW Stendal carried out general repairs to restore the locomotives to operational condition.

During the general overhaul (GR), standing boilers and steering frames were mainly replaced in order to ensure operational safety. These overhauled locomotives remained in service with the Deutsche Reichsbahn for a long time and were used for freight traffic as well as special runs and regional operations.

Fleischmann: Precision and functionality in N scale

The Fleischmann 7170001 steam locomotive 52 5354-7 is an exact replica of this legendary locomotive and offers numerous technical features. The model is equipped with an NEM 651 digital decoder, which enables digital control. The locomotive has a powerful drive with 2 axles powered and 2 axles equipped with traction tires for additional traction. The factory-installed sound decoder provides realistic operating sounds, while the 3 headlights that change with the direction of travel provide additional authenticity.

The model is designed in N scale and is suitable for operation on direct current (DC) systems. Thanks to the fine details and the high quality of workmanship, the locomotive brings an impressive performance to the model railway layout, both visually and functionally. Particularly noteworthy are the digitally switchable sound functions, which make the model a real highlight on the layout.
