Fleischmann 7570116 N Electric Locomotive BR 188 125-9 SBB Cargo Int. Ep. VI DC Sound

Are you looking for a modern electric locomotive for your N-gauge model railroad layout that combines international freight transport with an extraordinary design and realistic sound technology? The Fleischmann 7570116 BR 188 125-9 electric locomotive “Frankreichpiercer” from Railpool, leased to SBB Cargo International, is an entirely new design that impresses with its unique styling, the nickname “Tour Eiffel,” and a factory-installed Next18 digital decoder with sound.

As an Era VI model, this modern TRAXX 3 multi-system locomotive represents cross-border European rail freight transport. Designed in collaboration with Railcolor Design, the locomotive combines a detailed model with digitally controllable lighting functions and matching sound effects. This makes it a special highlight for enthusiasts of modern freight locomotives.

Fleischmann BR 188 125-9 – Modern TRAXX-3 Locomotive from SBB Cargo International

The TRAXX-3 locomotives are among the most powerful electric locomotives in modern European freight transport. The third generation of the successful TRAXX family was developed specifically for cross-border operation on major European rail routes.

The Class 188 multi-system locomotives can operate on various European power supply systems. This enables international freight transport without time-consuming locomotive changes at national borders.

With a top speed of 160 km/h and a power output of up to 6,400 kW in AC operation, these locomotives are well-suited for demanding transport tasks. Whether container trains, tank car trains, or heavy freight train formations—the TRAXX 3 locomotives are highly versatile in European rail freight transport.

An interesting technical feature of this generation of locomotives is the optional “last-mile” equipment. An additional diesel engine, combined with a battery, enables short trips on non-electrified track sections, such as in ports or industrial facilities. Properly equipped prototype locomotives can thus handle certain shunting tasks without the need for an additional diesel locomotive.

“France Piercer” with the nickname “Tour Eiffel”

Electric locomotive 188 125-9 is part of the fleet of the leasing company Railpool and is operated by SBB Cargo International. It bears the nickname “Frankreichpiercer” as well as the name “Tour Eiffel,” symbolizing cross-border freight transport on European rail lines.

The distinctive design was created in collaboration with Railcolor Design. Thanks to its unique appearance, the locomotive is highly recognizable and stands out clearly from ordinary freight locomotive.

The Fleischmann 7570116 reproduces this interesting prototype on a 1:160 scale. The striking design is particularly impressive when viewed against the backdrop of modern freight trains and makes for a special eye-catcher on your N-gauge model railroad layout.

Completely new design with detailed roof construction

A major highlight of the Fleischmann BR 188 125-9 is its completely new design. This gives the modern TRAXX 3 locomotive a unique model interpretation for N-gauge.

The detailed roof design underscores the characteristic appearance of the Class 188. Combined with the distinctive color scheme and the nickname “Tour Eiffel,” this creates an attractive model for modern freight transport scenes.

Whether passing through a large freight yard, on an electrified main line, or pulling an international container train—the locomotive fits perfectly into Era VI model railroads.

Next18 Digital Decoder with Sound and Switchable Lighting Functions

A special feature of the Fleischmann 7570116 is its factory-installed digital and sound equipment. The built-in Next18 digital decoder enables digital control of the electric locomotive and enhances the running experience with realistic sound effects.

The integrated sound functions create a lively atmosphere and make operating this modern freight locomotive particularly impressive.

The lighting also impresses with modern features. The three-light headlight, which changes direction depending on the direction of travel, along with two red tail lights, is equipped with LEDs.

In digital mode, the headlight and tail lights can be switched on and off. This allows for the depiction of different lighting scenarios and makes operations on the model railroad layout even more realistic.

The combination of a digital decoder, sound, and switchable LED lighting makes the BR 188 125-9 an interesting choice for model railroaders who value modern vehicle 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 characteristics during digital model railroad operation.

All four axles of the electric locomotive are driven. Two traction tires enhance traction and provide excellent performance for hauling longer freight train formations.

The Fleischmann BR 188 features NEM 355 coupler sockets with close-coupling kinematics. This allows the model to be combined with compatible N-gauge freight cars and integrated into modern train formations.

With a length over buffers of 118 mm and a minimum operating radius of 192 mm, the electric locomotive is also suitable for more compact N-gauge model railroad layouts.

Ideal locomotive for international freight transport in Era VI

The Fleischmann BR 188 125-9 is ideal for model railroaders who want to depict modern European rail freight transport with varied and prototypical train sets.

The locomotive pairs particularly well with modern container cars, pocket cars, tank cars, and other Era VI freight cars.

This results in impressive train formations, such as those found on Europe’s international freight corridors. The striking “France Piercer” design is particularly effective when used at the front of longer container and logistics trains.

This sound version is also an attractive addition for collectors of modern Swiss and European electric locomotives. The combination of a completely new design, unique styling, the nickname “Tour Eiffel,” and modern digital technology gives the model a special character.
