Description

Fleischmann 7570063 N-gauge electric locomotive Ae 610 487-1, SBB, Era V, DC sound: Powerful sound and prototypical details

The Fleischmann 7570063 N-gauge electric locomotive Ae 610 487 combines powerful technology with historical significance. With its "Langenthal" emblem and precise workmanship, it brings the character of the Swiss emblem locomotives to your model railway layout - now with realistic sound and digital functions.

The prototype: Ae 610 - The heraldic locomotive

The Ae 6/6 (later Ae 610) was developed for the Gotthard line from 1952 as the successor to the legendary Crocodile locomotives. These locomotives were given the coats of arms of cantons and cities, earning them the nickname "coat of arms locomotives". The universally deployable machines mastered both heavy freight and fast passenger traffic with ease and shaped the image of the Swiss railroad world for decades.

The Ae 610 487 bears the coat of arms of the town of Langenthal, a municipality rich in tradition in the canton of Berne, and is a symbol of the technical perfection and reliability of SBB.

Era V: tradition meets modernization

Era V (from 1990) stands for the transition to modern railroad technology while at the same time preserving proven traditions. The updated version of the Ae 610 represents this fusion of past and future.

Technical features and equipment

The model is equipped for the first time with a Next18 sound decoder, which provides a variety of realistic operating sounds such as engine sounds, brakes and signal sounds. The cab lighting and the red/white light change can be switched digitally, which further improves the simulation of operation. The revised motor ensures smooth running characteristics and a long service life.

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 115 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the locomotive is ideal for N-gauge layouts. Filigree pantographs, finely detailed plug-in parts and windshield wipers as etched parts round off the high-quality design.

Design and workmanship

The locomotive impresses with its elaborate printing and the precise depiction of the "Langenthal" coat of arms. The finely detailed components such as the pantographs and the closed front design ensure an authentic look. The combination of robust construction and filigree workmanship makes this model a real eye-catcher.

Care and maintenance

The model requires little maintenance and should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and dirt. Moving parts and axles can be lightly oiled to ensure long-term functionality. The LEDs and the sound decoder are durable and guarantee reliable use even with intensive use.
