Fleischmann 7570038 N electric locomotive Rh 1110, ÖBB, Ep. IV, DC-sound

Fleischmann 7570038 N-gauge electric locomotive Rh 1110, ÖBB, Era IV, DC sound: A masterpiece of Austrian electric locomotive technology

The Fleischmann 7570038 N-gauge Rh 1110 electric loc omotive is a detailed replica of one of the most important electric locomotives of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) from Era IV. With its innovative Next18 sound decoder and finely detailed elements, this model offers the latest technology and the highest degree of prototypical fidelity.

The prototype: The 1110 series - strong on mountain routes

The post-war period marked an era of upswing and modernization in Austria. With the electrification of the most important lines, a new generation of powerful locomotives became necessary. In the mid-1950s, a higher-powered variant of the 1010 series was developed specifically for use on mountain lines such as the Tauern, Brenner and Arlberg railroads. These locomotives were added to the ÖBB fleet as the 1110 series.

The six-axle locomotives are characterized by their robust construction and their adaptability to the demanding route profiles. With their impressive tractive power and a top speed of 110 km/h, they were a guarantee for reliable passenger and freight transport in the Alpine regions.

Era IV: Modernization and growth

Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of technological progress and modernization. During this phase, the Austrian railroads experienced a boom, which was driven by electrification and the use of modern locomotives such as the Rh 1110. The locomotive embodies this era of efficiency and innovation.

Technical features and equipment

The Rh 1110 model is a new design that impresses with its fine details and state-of-the-art technology. The integrated Next18 sound decoder enables realistic operating sounds such as starting, braking and signal noises. The light functions, including headlights and marker lights as well as cab lighting, can be switched in digital operation. The light changes in red and white depending on the direction of travel and is realized by long-life LEDs.

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 112 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the locomotive is ideal for N-gauge layouts. The prototypical bogies and the filigree pantographs with innovative mounting emphasize the high quality and precision of this model.

Design and workmanship

The locomotive impresses with its prototypical color scheme and the fine engraving of the lamp sockets. The model is complemented by intricate details such as etched parts for the windshield wipers and many separately attached plug-in parts. The high-quality workmanship makes the Rh 1110 a visual highlight on any model railway layout.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive is low-maintenance, but should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt. The moving parts and axles can be lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation. The Next18 interface allows easy adjustment or replacement of the digital decoder, while the robust construction ensures a long service life.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Fleischmann 7570038 N gauge Rh 1110 electric locomotive with DC sound is an excellent model that authentically represents the strength and elegance of this legendary Austrian locomotive. With its digital functions, high-quality workmanship and prototypical design, this locomotive is an ideal choice for model railroaders who want to realistically recreate Era IV.
