Fleischmann 7560048 N electric locomotive 193 451-2, SBB-Cargo International, Ep. VI Product Details

Description

Fleischmann 7560048 N gauge electric locomotive 193 451-2, SBB Cargo International, Era VI: Modern technology for international freight traffic

The Fleischmann 7560048 N-gauge electric locomotive 193 451 brings the efficiency and innovation of SBB Cargo International to your model railway layout with its baptismal name "Bavaria Munich" and its prototypical design. This model represents the latest generation of Vectron locomotives with exceptional attention to detail.

The prototype: Vectron 193 451 - An international workhorse

The Vectron locomotives from Siemens Mobility are one of the most modern locomotive series for European rail transportation. With the XLoad equipment package, the 193 series offers improved friction coefficient utilization to cope with higher trailer loads. The locomotives are optimized for cross-border use in freight transport and meet the requirements of several power and safety systems.

Locomotive 193 451 bears the name "Bavaria Munich" and is part of a fleet of 20 multi-system locomotives ordered by SBB Cargo International in cooperation with SüdLeasing GmbH in July 2022. These locomotives play a central role in managing the increasing volume of freight traffic in Europe.

Era VI: Modern mobility and innovation

Era VI (from 2007) symbolizes a time of technological innovation and intensive cross-border cooperation in rail transport. The Vectron locomotives are a prime example of this development and stand for efficiency, environmental friendliness and flexibility in freight transport.

Technical features and equipment

The model is equipped with a detailed roof design and filigree pantographs that authentically reproduce the prototype. The red-white light change depending on the direction of travel is realized by long-life LEDs that can be switched via a DIP switch. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 109 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the locomotive is ideal for N-gauge layouts.

The Next18 interface allows easy retrofitting with digital technology. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics ensures a reliable connection and prototypical driving characteristics.

Design and workmanship

The locomotive impresses with its precise printing, striking paintwork and intricate details such as the pantographs and roof cables. The christened name "Bavaria Munich" and the design in cooperation with Railcolor Design make the model a real eye-catcher.

Care and maintenance

The model requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. Moving parts and axles can be lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation. The robust construction ensures a long service life and reliable performance.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Fleischmann 7560048 N-gauge electric locomotive 193 451-2 is a high-quality replica of a modern Vectron locomotive that impressively represents the innovation and performance of SBB Cargo International. With its detailed design and wide range of possible uses, it is an excellent addition to any model railway layout of Era VI.
