The Fleischmann 7570059 N-gauge electric locomotive 120 001-3 of the German Federal Railways (DB) is a fascinating model that perfectly reproduces the innovative technology of the pre-series locomotive. With a high-quality sound decoder and digitally switchable light functions, this model combines historical precision with modern technology and is a real highlight for any model railway layout.
The class 120 set new standards in the development of electric locomotives with the introduction of three-phase asynchronous technology. Five prototypes were built between 1979 and 1980, including the 120 001-3, which were regarded as technological milestones. Originally approved for 160 km/h, these locomotives were approved for 200 km/h after successful test runs. In 1984, the 120 001-3 reached a record speed of 265 km/h, impressively demonstrating its performance.
Era IV (1965-1990) was an era of technological progress at the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The introduction of the class 120 was a milestone that had a decisive impact on the development of modern electric locomotives. These locomotives were used for extensive test runs, which later formed the basis for the series production of modern three-phase locomotives.
The model of the 120 001-3 is a completely new design and offers numerous functions that enable a realistic representation of operation. The integrated sound decoder provides authentic operating sounds such as starting, braking and signal noises. In digital mode, the headlights and marker lights as well as the cab lighting can be switched, making the model even more realistic. The light changes in red and white depending on the direction of travel and is implemented using long-life LEDs.
With the Next18 interface, the model is optimally designed for digital systems. The robust drive system ensures reliable performance, even on tight radii from 192 mm. The length over buffers (LüP) is 120 mm, making the locomotive perfect for N-gauge layouts.
The locomotive impresses with a prototypical realization of the pre-series locomotive with filigree design of the pantographs and detailed reproduction of all housing elements. The separately applied plug-in parts and the precise printing underline the high quality of this model. With its elegant design and careful workmanship, the 120 001-3 is a real eye-catcher.
The model requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. The axles and moving parts can be lightly oiled if necessary to ensure smooth operation. The LED lighting and electronics are durable, but should be protected from moisture. Retrofitting or replacing digital decoders is easy thanks to the Next18 interface.
The Fleischmann 7570059 N-gauge electric locomotive 120 001-3 with DC sound is an impressive model that authentically brings the technological innovation of the 120 series to your model railway layout. With its detailed design, digital functions and high-quality sound decoder, this locomotive is a must for every model railroader who wants to recreate Era IV in true detail.
