Fleischmann 7570052 N gauge electric locomotive 1044 107-9, ÖBB, Era IV-V, DC sound: Universal locomotive with impressive sound
The Fleischmann 7570052 N-gauge electric locomotive 1044 107-9 combines precise technology with prototypical design. With digitally switchable light and sound functions and a detailed design, this model brings the power and elegance of the 1044 series of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) to your model railway layout.
The prototype: The 1044 series - an ÖBB masterpiece
The 1044 series was developed in the 1970s as an electric locomotive for universal use. It was able to impress in heavy express train service as well as in freight service on flat and mountain routes. With its enormous power, it was the most powerful four-axle electric locomotive in the world at the time of its introduction and remained ÖBB's flagship until the introduction of the Taurus series.
Particularly striking features of the 1044 are its high roof vents and the delicate pantographs, which set it apart from other locomotives both visually and technically. Its versatility made it an indispensable part of Austrian rail transport.
Era IV-V: Innovation and progress
Era IV-V (1965-2007) marked a time of technological change and modernization in European rail transport. Locomotives such as the 1044 stood for progress in electric locomotive technology and the increasing internationalization of rail transport.
Technical features and equipment
This model of the 1044 107-9 is equipped with a high-quality sound decoder that provides realistic operating sounds such as starting, braking and signal sounds. The light functions, including the headlights and marker lights, can be controlled digitally. The light changes in red and white depending on the direction of travel and is implemented by long-life LEDs.
With a length over buffers (LüP) of 100 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the locomotive is perfect for N-gauge layouts. Thanks to its robust construction and precise workmanship, the model offers excellent driving characteristics. The locomotive is equipped with an NEM651 interface, which makes it easy to adapt or retrofit.
Design and workmanship
The model impresses with its prototypical design with high roof vents and filigree pantographs. The detailed engraving and precise printing ensure an authentic look. The high-quality workmanship guarantees a long service life and a realistic driving experience.
Care and maintenance
The locomotive requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. The moving parts and axles can be lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation. The LED lighting and electronics are durable, but should be protected from moisture. Retrofitting or adapting a digital decoder is uncomplicated thanks to the NEM651 interface.
