The prototype: The DB-Cargo class 212 in Era IV

The class 212 is a versatile diesel locomotive that has been in service since the 1960s. In Era IV, which dates between 1970 and 1990, the class 212 was used by DB Cargo for freight traffic and played an important role in the rail transportation network. The striking traffic red color scheme of this version makes it a characteristic and eye-catching model that was used not only for freight transport, but also for shunting services.

Technical details and functions of the Lenz BR 212

The Lenz 40134-17 is equipped with drive over 4 axles, which provides a strong tractive force. The locomotive has a length over buffers of 273 mm and has metal wheelsets that ensure stable and durable performance. The model is equipped with remote-controlled couplings for easy shunting. Screw couplings can also be retrofitted to increase the level of detail. The spring buffers provide additional realism in the event of bumps.

Lighting and digital control

A special highlight of the Lenz BR 212 is the constant lighting, which provides uniform illumination regardless of the speed. The direction-dependent light change ensures that the model changes between white headlights and red tail lights depending on the direction of travel. The interior lighting and the driver's cab lighting can be controlled digitally to make operation even more authentic. The rear light can also be switched separately to make the model particularly realistic.

Sound and digital features

The Lenz 40134-17 BR 212 is equipped with a factory-fitted sound decoder that provides realistic sounds such as engine noises, brakes and horn signals. These sound functions make the driving experience on the model railway layout even more lively. The decoder is designed for both digital and analog operation and offers automatic detection of the operating mode. The locomotive supports RailCom for communication with the control center as well as ABC and USP, which ensures uninterrupted and precise control.
