Hobbytrain H3054 N E-Lok BR 163, DB, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

Hobbytrain H3054 N Class 163 electric locomotive, DB - Era IV classic in N scale

With the class 163 electric locomotive, Hobbytrain presents a detailed model of the German Federal Railroad in the operating condition of 1976. The locomotive with the road number 163 008 was stationed in the Stuttgart depot of the Stuttgart Federal Railroad Directorate and is an example of electric train operation in Era IV. In N gauge, this model combines technical sophistication with historical authenticity.

Technical details of the model

The locomotive is equipped with a bell-shaped armature motor which, in combination with a flywheel, ensures particularly smooth running characteristics. Power is drawn from all axles, which ensures reliable running characteristics on the layout. The model has a DCC board and a buffer memory, but is not digital when delivered.

Optics & light functions

A white/red light change provides a prototypical representation of driving operation, depending on the direction of travel. The locomotive has close-coupling kinematics with an NEM 355 shaft, allowing it to fit perfectly into existing train formations.

Detailed realization of a DB classic

The consideration of all design differences and extremely precise workmanship make this model a highlight for fans of historic German Federal Railroad vehicles. The locomotive authentically represents the condition of 1976 - an ideal addition for late Era IV scenarios.
