Description

Fleischmann 7560011 N-gauge electric locomotive 193 818-2, Siemens, Era VI: Vectron - Modern technology in an elegant design

The Fleischmann 7560011 N-gauge electric locomotive 193 818-2 is a detailed replica of the Siemens Vectron, one of the most advanced locomotives in the modern railroad world. With its elegant design and prototypical implementation, this model is a perfect addition to all Era VI model railroad layouts.

The prototype: The Vectron - flexibility and innovation

The Siemens Vectron marks a milestone in the development of modern electric locomotives. With its aerodynamic design, high crash safety and modular construction, the Vectron meets the diverse requirements of various railroad companies throughout Europe. The flexibility of the modular system enables adaptations to different power systems, speeds and train protection systems.

The 193 818-2 locomotive is part of Siemens' own fleet of test, demonstration and homologation locomotives. These machines are painted in a characteristic white color scheme with a dark grey frame and serve as an advertising medium and test platform for the latest technology. Their use throughout Europe underlines the versatility and reliability of the Vectron.

Era VI: The era of modern private railways

In Era VI (from 2007), modern locomotives such as the Vectron dominate the picture on Europe's rails. This era is characterized by the growing importance of private railroad companies and a stronger focus on efficiency and environmental friendliness. The 193 818-2 represents this development with its progressive design and ultra-modern technology.

Technical features and equipment

The model of the 193 818-2 is produced in a finely detailed design and offers a prototypical roof design as well as precise printing. The light change in red and white depending on the direction of travel is realized by long-life LEDs. A DIP switch enables the head and tail lights to be controlled. With a Next18 interface, the model is optimally prepared for retrofitting with digital technology.

The locomotive is designed for operation on 2-wire direct current systems (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 119 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, it is perfectly suited for N-gauge layouts.

Design and workmanship

The model impresses with its prototypical reproduction of the Vectron color scheme. The precise printing and detailed roof design make the locomotive a real eye-catcher. The high-quality workmanship and intricate details underline the quality of this model.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. The axles and moving parts can be lightly oiled to ensure optimum functionality. The LED lighting and electronics are durable, but should be protected from moisture. Retrofitting a digital decoder via the Next18 interface is quick and easy.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Fleischmann 7560011 N-gauge electric locomotive 193 818-2 is a high-quality model that authentically represents the advanced technology and elegant design of the Siemens Vectron. With its detailed design, the possibility of digitalization and its prototypical implementation, this locomotive is an ideal choice for all model railway enthusiasts who want to represent modernity on their layout.
