Kuehn 32304 TT Class 185 532 electric locomotive, Captrain, Era V: Modern electric locomotive for your model railway layout

The Kuehn 32304 TT Class 185 532 electric locomotive is a detailed replica of the class 185 in the attractive livery of the Captrain railroad company. This model, designed for Era V, enriches every TT model railroad layout with its high quality and authentic design.

Prototype: The class 185 and Captrain

The class 185 belongs to the TRAXX family from Bombardier and was specially developed for international freight traffic. It is based on the 145 series and is characterized by its modular concept, which allows the installation of various equipment packages, such as different pantograph configurations and train protection systems. Deutsche Bahn AG has ordered a total of 400 locomotives of this series, which will mainly be used for freight transportation.

Captrain is a rail transport company that operates throughout Europe and is part of the SNCF Group. It offers comprehensive logistics solutions in rail freight transport and relies on modern and powerful locomotives such as the Class 185. Captrain's characteristic green and white livery gives the locomotives an unmistakable appearance on the European rails.

Manufacturer: Kuehn Modell

The renowned manufacturer Kuehn Modell is known for its high-quality model railroads in TT scale (1:120). With the highest precision and attention to detail, Kuehn Modell produces vehicles that are both visually and technically impressive. The Class 185 532 electric locomotive in the Captrain version is another example of the company's excellent craftsmanship.

Era V: The time of privatization and modernization

Era V (1990-2006) is characterized by the privatization and liberalization of rail transport in Europe. During this time, numerous private railroad companies such as Captrain emerged, which used modern locomotives such as the class 185 in order to meet the increasing demands of freight traffic.

Technical details of the model

The Kuehn 32304 TT Class 185 532 electric locomotive impresses with its finely detailed design and high-quality printing. It is driven by a 5-pole motor with two flywheels on all four axles, with one wheel set per bogie fitted with traction tires to increase tractive power. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free LEDs that ensure prototypical lighting. Power is drawn from all wheels, which ensures a reliable power supply.

Track gauge and power system

This model is designed for TT gauge (12 mm, scale 1:120) and is ideal for DC systems. The TT gauge offers an excellent balance between attention to detail and space requirements, making it particularly attractive for model railroaders with limited space.

Design and color scheme

The locomotive is presented in Captrain's striking green and white livery. All lettering and logos are applied precisely and true to scale, giving the model an authentic appearance. The fine detailing includes realistic replicas of fans, pantographs and other specific features of the 185 series.

Quality and workmanship

Kuehn Modell attaches great importance to quality and attention to detail. The class 185 532 electric locomotive is characterized by its robust construction and excellent running characteristics. The use of high-quality materials and careful assembly ensure a long service life and reliable operation on your layout.

Accessories and expansion options

The model is equipped with an NEM 651 interface, which makes it easy to install a decoder. The N025-P decoder from Kuehn or a comparable model is recommended. The locomotive can also be supplemented with matching freight wagons to create realistic train compositions.

Care and maintenance

Regular maintenance work is recommended to ensure long-lasting enjoyment of the locomotive. This includes cleaning the wheels and tracks and occasionally lubricating the moving parts with suitable model railroad oil. This will maintain the performance and reliability of the model for years to come.

Conclusion: A highlight for TT model railroaders
