Fleischmann 7570067 N Electric Locomotive 1044 282 ÖBB Ep. V Sound

Are you looking for an extraordinary electric locomotive for your N-gauge model railroad layout that combines Austrian railway history with a colorful design and modern digital and sound technology? The Fleischmann 7570067 Electric Locomotive 1044 282 from the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) captivates with its authentic “Children’s Art Locomotive” design, delicate pantographs, and digitally controllable light and sound functions.

As an Era V model, the locomotive commemorates a special collaborative project between ÖBB, ORF Confetti-TiVi, and ROCO. The two differently designed sides of the locomotive, the imaginative children’s drawings, and the modern sound system make the ÖBB 1044 282 an extraordinary eye-catcher on any N-gauge model railroad layout.

Fleischmann ÖBB 1044 282 – the famous “Children’s Art” locomotive

For many years, the Class 1044 electric locomotives were among the most important all-purpose locomotives of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). They were used in both high-quality passenger service and to haul freight trains, and they shaped the appearance of Austrian rail transport for several decades.

The 1044 282-0 electric locomotive has a particularly interesting history. In the fall of 1998, the ÖBB, together with ORF Confetti-TiVi and ROCO, organized a major drawing contest under the motto “Riding the Train – Preserving Nature.”

Children up to the age of twelve were invited to artistically depict their ideas about environmentally friendly rail travel and nature conservation. The turnout was impressive: More than 60,000 children from all over Austria participated in this extraordinary contest.

From the numerous entries, a jury ultimately selected two winners. Five-year-old Nino Zorzi from Wiener Neudorf and twelve-year-old Christian Jaritz from Graz had their drawings featured on a real electric locomotive of the Austrian Federal Railways.

Authentic children’s art design featuring two distinct locomotive sides

The two winning drawings were greatly enlarged and applied using vinyl wrap technology to the side panels of the ÖBB 1044 282-0. This gave the electric locomotive two differently designed sides, lending it a distinctive appearance.

The cabs were also incorporated into the special design concept. There, the popular ORF “Confetti TiVi” characters “Rolf Rüdiger” and “Confetti” found their place.

The full-size prototype was in regular railway service in Austria and Germany until early 2000. With its extraordinary design, the locomotive drew attention to the importance of rail transport and the protection of nature.

The Fleischmann 7570067 reproduces this special prototype in 1:160 scale. The authentic design and the delicate pantographs underscore the unique character of this extraordinary ÖBB locomotive.

Next18 Digital Decoder with Sound and Switchable Lighting Functions

A special highlight of the Fleischmann 7570067 is its factory-installed digital and sound equipment. The integrated Next18 digital decoder enables digital control of the locomotive and also offers switchable light and sound functions.

The sound features provide an appropriate soundscape and make operating the ÖBB electric locomotive on your N-gauge layout particularly lifelike.

The lighting also contributes to the realistic overall impression. The three-light headlight and tail light, which change direction with the locomotive’s movement, are equipped with LEDs. Additional digitally controllable lighting functions expand the possibilities for model railroad operation.

In this way, the Fleischmann Children’s Art Locomotive combines its extraordinary historical design with modern digital model railroad technology.

Five-pole motor with flywheel and all-axle drive

Power is provided by a five-pole motor with a flywheel. This combination ensures smooth running and pleasant handling on the N-gauge model railroad layout.

All four axles of the electric locomotive are powered. One axle is additionally equipped with traction tires, which enhance traction when pulling passenger and freight trains.

The locomotive features a proprietary coupler and can be combined with compatible N-gauge passenger and freight cars.

With a length over buffers of 100 mm and a minimum negotiable curve radius of 192 mm, the ÖBB 1044 282 is also suitable for more compact model railroad layouts.

A special collector’s model for ÖBB fans of Era V

The Fleischmann Children’s Art Locomotive is ideal for model railroaders who want to recreate Austrian rail traffic from the late 1990s. It’s particularly well-suited for creating varied train formations when paired with contemporary ÖBB passenger cars.

The Class 1044 also offers interesting possibilities for use in international passenger service or at the head of a freight train. Its striking special design makes the model a real eye-catcher.

For collectors of unusual promotional and special-edition locomotives, the Kinder-Kunst-Lok holds a special appeal. Its history, the two distinct sides of the locomotive, and its connection to ORF children’s television make it an interesting memento of Austrian railway history.
