Fleischmann 7570032 N electric locomotive 101 003-2, DB AG, Ep. V, DC sound: A masterpiece for discerning model railroaders

The Fleischmann 7570032 N electric locomotive 101 003-2 is a perfect example of modern model railroad technology in N scale. With its oriental red paintwork, a multitude of digital functions and the integrated sound module, this locomotive is an ideal choice for all enthusiasts of the Deutsche Bahn from Era V. The model combines innovative technology with historical flair and enriches every model railroad layout.

The prototype: The Deutsche Bahn class 101

The class 101 was developed in the 1990s to replace the ageing class 103. With three-phase asynchronous motors and single-axle drive, it achieved a continuous output of 6,400 kW and a starting tractive effort of 300 kN. Its top speed of 220 km/h made it one of the most modern electric locomotives of its time. Between 1996 and 1999, 145 units were built. The 101 003-2 was one of the first series locomotives and was delivered in the typical oriental red livery of the time.

The 101 series was primarily used in InterCity and Interregio services and was regarded as the backbone of Deutsche Bahn's high-quality long-distance services. With its impressive performance and reliability, it significantly shaped the image of the railroad in Era V.

Fleischmann - quality and technological innovation

The Fleischmann brand stands for first-class model railroads that impress with both their visual precision and technical sophistication. The 7570032 electric locomotive offers extensive digital functions, including sound effects and individually switchable lighting options, which make the driving experience on digital model railroad layouts even more realistic.

Era V: The change to modern railroading

Era V (1990-2006) marks a time of change and modernization. After the merger of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Deutsche Reichsbahn to form Deutsche Bahn AG, a new era of rail transportation began. The introduction of new vehicles and modern technologies, as represented by the 101 class, underlines this progress. The orient red paint scheme of the 101 003-2 is reminiscent of the beginnings of this exciting time.
