The prototype: The class 120 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 120 diesel locomotives, also known as the V 200, were procured by the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the GDR between 1966 and 1975 in a series of 378 units. These robust locomotives were based on the proven M 62 design from the Luhansk locomotive works in the Ukraine. With an output of 1,470 kW, they were optimally designed for heavy freight train services. The 120 272-0 was based at the Dresden depot and was used in the RBD Dresden region.

Technology and equipment

This model is characterized by a large number of detailed elements, including separately attached grab rails, a wide chrome strip under the front windows and a roof version with silencer. The built-in digital sound decoder offers true-to-original sounds and significantly increases the play value. The LED lighting with light changes depending on the direction of travel ensures a realistic appearance in operation.

Era IV: A milestone in railroad history

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by the standardization and modernization of the railroad fleets in the GDR. The class 120, with its striking design and versatility, is a symbol of this era. It was developed for freight traffic, but was also used on branch lines and for international operations.

Color scheme and design

The model is designed in the typical color scheme of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and has a wide chrome strip that corresponds to the prototype. The detailed roof design with the characteristic silencer makes this model particularly authentic.

Care and maintenance

To maintain the functionality and appearance of the model in the long term, it should be cleaned regularly. A soft brush is ideal for removing dust. Mechanical parts, such as wheels and axles, can be lubricated with a special model railway oil if necessary. The digital decoder is low-maintenance, but the electrical contacts should be kept clean.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Fleischmann 7370030 N-gauge diesel locomotive 120 272-0 is an excellent model for collectors and model railway enthusiasts who value historical accuracy and state-of-the-art technology. The combination of detailed design, digital sound and the authentic representation of Era IV make this model a highlight on any model railway layout.
