Kuehn 32205 TT E-Lok 185 548-5, ITL, Ep. V Product Details

Kuehn 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5, ITL, Era V: A modern electric locomotive for demanding model railroaders

The Kuehn 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5 is an impressive model of a modern multi-system locomotive. It is part of the successful TRAXX family from Bombardier and reflects the technical perfection of the 185 series. The locomotive has the characteristic design of the ITL railroad company and impresses with its detailed realization, high-quality workmanship and excellent driving characteristics. This model is an enrichment for every TT model railroad.

Prototype of the Kuehn 32205: The powerful class 185

The class 185 electric locomotives were developed for cross-border freight traffic. They are based on the class 145 and were equipped with multi-system capability to enable them to be used in several European countries. Deutsche Bahn ordered these locomotives in order to handle the growing international goods traffic more efficiently. The flexibility of this series also made them attractive for private railroad companies, which used them for their own transportation tasks. ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft, a private railroad company from Germany, successfully uses the 185 series for freight transport.

ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH: A private railroad company with a modern fleet

ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH, based in Dresden, is an established rail freight transport company. It relies on a modern fleet of powerful locomotives, including the 185 series, to carry out transports efficiently and reliably. ITL was founded in 1998 and is now part of Captrain Deutschland GmbH. Its rail traffic extends beyond Germany to other European countries.

Kuehn Modell - A specialist for detailed model railways

The manufacturer Kuehn Modell is known for its high-precision and high-quality models in TT scale. The company has made a name for itself with innovative technology, excellent detailing and outstanding running characteristics. The 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5 is another example of the successful realization of a modern locomotive model that meets the highest demands.

Era V: The time of railroad liberalization

The model belongs to Era V, which extends from 1990 to around 2006. During this time, many state railroads were privatized or opened up to private competitors. The ITL railroad company was founded in this era and contributed to the diversification of rail transport in Germany. The class 185 locomotives played a decisive role in international freight traffic during this time.

Technical details of the Kuehn 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5

The model features a finely detailed replica of the original locomotive. The powerful 5-pole motor with two flywheels ensures smooth running and excellent driving characteristics. All four axles are driven, with one wheel set per bogie equipped with traction tires. Power is taken from all wheels, which ensures a high level of operational safety.

The locomotive is illuminated by modern LEDs, which provide a realistic light image. The model has an NEM 651 interface for simple digitalization. The recommended decoder for digital operation is the Kuehn N025-P or a comparable model. The locomotive can be used in both analog and digital operation.

Track size and current system

The Kuehn 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5 is designed for the TT gauge (1:120). The TT gauge offers an excellent balance between attention to detail and space saving and is particularly popular in Central Europe. The model is designed for operation with direct current (DC) and can be digitized with appropriate decoders.

Design and color scheme of the ITL locomotive

The color scheme of the locomotive corresponds to the ITL design with the striking green paintwork and the ITL logos on the sides. The lettering and details are precisely applied and correspond to the prototype. The model impresses with finely worked fan grilles, pantographs and intricate printing, which are in no way inferior to the original.

Quality and workmanship of the model

Kuehn Modell is known for its excellent manufacturing quality. The locomotive is made of high-quality plastic with precise details and sharp-edged engravings. The printing is clean and razor-sharp. Even the smallest lettering can be read under a magnifying glass. The running characteristics are excellent, making the locomotive a reliable choice for operation on TT model railroads.

Accessories and expansion options

The locomotive can be upgraded by installing a digital decoder. Additional accessories can be fitted for extra realism. Suitable accessories, such as wagons in ITL design, are also available to recreate complete train formations.

Care and maintenance of the Kuehn 32205 TT electric locomotive 185 548-5

To ensure that the locomotive works reliably for a long time, it should be serviced regularly. The motor and gear wheels benefit from occasional lubrication with special model railroad oil. The wheels should be cleaned of dirt to ensure optimum power consumption. It is not usually necessary to replace the LEDs due to their long service life.
