Fleischmann 7360018 N diesel locomotive 112 278-7, DR, Ep.IV Product Details

Fleischmann 7360018 Diesel locomotive BR 112 278-7, DR, Era IV: A compact and powerful N locomotive for your model railway layout

The Fleischmann 7360018 BR 112 278-7 diesel locomotive is an impressive model that brings the traditional diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in Era IV to life on your N model railway layout. This locomotive impresses with its detailed reproduction, robust workmanship and precise technology. With a length over buffers of only 87 mm and a direct current system, the class 112 278-7 is the perfect choice for collectors and model railroaders who are looking for an authentic replica of DR express train service in a compact size.

The prototype: The class 112 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 112 originated from the successful modernization and performance upgrade of the class 110. In 1972, the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) of the GDR began equipping the first locomotives of the class 110 with a more powerful 1,200 hp diesel engine. The modifications, including an improved air-flow gearbox, made these locomotives suitable for fast passenger train services. From 1981, further class 110 locomotives were converted to the more powerful class 112 at the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerke (Raw) in Stendal. A total of around 500 locomotives were modified and received the powerful 12 KVD 18/21 AL-4 and AL-5 engines, which made the class 112 the backbone of express train traffic in the GDR.

Fleischmann - quality and precision in model making

The Fleischmann brand has stood for high quality and precision in model making for many decades. With the model of the class 112 278-7 in N scale, Fleischmann has created a detailed locomotive that authentically reproduces the typical railroad charm of Era IV. The model has a die-cast metal chassis, which ensures stability and durability, and is also finely crafted to accurately represent the characteristic aesthetics of the class 112. With this locomotive, Fleischmann offers a model that will delight both technically and visually demanding model railroaders.

Era IV - A historic time in German rail transportation

Era IV (approx. 1970-1990) was a striking time for the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which focused on more efficient and powerful locomotives following the economic growth of the 1970s. During this era, the BR 112 became a symbol of the further development and modernization of express train services in the GDR. It was frequently used for passenger services on express train routes and was an essential part of the DR fleet. The model of the 112 278-7 brings this historical period to life on your layout and authentically brings the flair of the East German Reichsbahn to the rails in N scale.

Technical highlights of the Fleischmann 7360018: High-quality workmanship and precise function

The class 112 278-7 from Fleischmann is equipped with a powerful 3-pole motor which, in combination with a flywheel, ensures smooth and even running characteristics. Four axles are driven by coupling rods and two traction tires give the locomotive additional traction. These features make the model the ideal choice for routes with a wide variety of requirements and enable reliable operation even in demanding driving conditions.

The model is also equipped with 3 headlights depending on the direction of travel, which are realized using LED technology and light up in white and red. This lighting changes automatically with the direction of travel, giving the model a particularly lively and realistic appearance. The locomotive is designed for easy integration on N-gauge track and requires a minimum radius of 192 mm, making it ideal for compact and detailed layouts.

N gauge and direct current system for flexible applications

The Fleischmann 7360018 is designed for the N-gauge track system and the direct current system (2L DC). With its compact design, it fits perfectly on N-gauge model railroad layouts and makes it possible to display entire trains in a true-to-scale, space-saving manner. Its use on DC track systems makes it flexible and versatile, and thanks to the Next18 electrical interface for traction units, the locomotive can be easily digitized and upgraded to integrate it into modern, digital systems.

Color scheme and authentic design

The class 112 278-7 is painted in a strong Bordeaux red, which reflects its typical appearance of the German State Railroad from Era IV. The model features fine engravings and details such as the typical, striking front section and the characteristic fan grilles on the sides. These lovingly designed details make the locomotive not only functional, but also a visual highlight on any layout. With this model, the atmosphere and design of DR express train traffic can be perfectly represented.

Robust construction and durable materials

The class 112 278-7 consists of a die-cast metal chassis and is therefore particularly robust and durable. The combination of metal and high-quality plastics ensures that the model retains its form and function even with frequent operation. Fleischmann relies on high-quality workmanship and a precise choice of materials, making the model a worthwhile long-term investment for any model railroader.

Retrofittability and digital options

For model railroaders who would like to control their locomotive digitally, the model offers a Next18 interface that makes it easy to upgrade for digital operation. This allows the BR 112 278-7 to be flexibly integrated into digital layouts and offers even more precise control options. Thanks to the pre-installed interface, a quick conversion is possible, allowing the model to be perfectly adapted to the individual requirements of the model railway layout.
