The BR 211 diesel locomotive, representing the Deutsche Bahn (DB) during Era IV, is a finely detailed N-scale model that brings the legacy of the V 100.10 series to life. This model replicates the diesel locomotive series, originally introduced in 1961/62, which was used for mixed services on non-electrified branch lines as well as light duty on main lines. With a power output of 810 kW, these locomotives reached speeds of up to 110 km/h, marking them as versatile engines for DB’s operations. In 1968, these units were reclassified as the BR 211 series, adding to their historical significance and making this model a valuable addition to any Era IV railway collection.
The original V 100.10 series was developed after the successful testing of prototypes and was manufactured for Deutsche Bahn in the early 1960s. Designed for use on non-electrified routes, this locomotive series was instrumental in providing reliable diesel traction on branch lines, especially in regions where electric service was not feasible. With a sturdy construction and balanced performance, the BR 211 quickly became a staple on both branch lines and, occasionally, on main lines for lighter services. This model accurately reflects the BR 211’s transformation from its V 100.10 origins, capturing its significance in DB’s operational history.
This N-scale model of the BR 211 is crafted with remarkable attention to detail, making it a standout piece in any railway setup. At a length over buffers (LüP) of 76 mm, the model is compact yet intricately detailed, with carefully molded features such as separate metal handrails and footsteps. The model’s realistic design also includes precisely aligned brake shoes on the wheel level and a clear view through the cab, adding to its authenticity. With its robust and fine details, this locomotive will undoubtedly enhance the realism of any Era IV layout.
The BR 211 model is equipped with a range of functional and visual features that capture the essence of the original locomotive. It runs on a 2-rail DC system and is powered by four driven axles, delivering reliable traction on N-scale tracks. With two traction tires, this model maintains excellent grip, even on curves as tight as 192 mm, providing smooth and consistent performance. The directional lighting system features a 3-headlight configuration at the front and dual rear lights that automatically switch based on the direction of travel, adding operational realism.
For enhanced digital control, the BR 211 includes a Next18 digital interface, allowing it to be integrated seamlessly into advanced model railway systems. This electrical interface provides easy connectivity for digital upgrades, making it a versatile model for both analog and digital enthusiasts. The coupling mechanism is designed with an NEM 355 shaft and close coupling kinematics, ensuring smooth and secure coupling with other rolling stock.
The BR 211 Diesel Locomotive is a beautifully crafted model that reflects the engineering and design of one of Deutsche Bahn's most iconic diesel locomotives. Its historical significance, combined with detailed craftsmanship and functional realism, makes it an ideal choice for collectors and model railway enthusiasts. This N-scale model not only adds value as a collectible but also enhances the authenticity of any railway setup with its realistic detailing and operational features. For those looking to expand their Era IV collection or showcase a piece of DB’s railway history, the BR 211 is a perfect addition.
