The prototype: The Köf 2 of the German Federal Railroad in Era III

The Köf 2 (small locomotive with oil engine and fluid transmission, performance group 2) was one of the most frequently built shunting locomotives of the German Federal Railroad. In Era III (1949-1970), these locomotives were used throughout Germany and performed a variety of shunting tasks in railroad stations and industrial plants. The road number 6279 was stationed at the Darmstadt depot and provided valuable shunting services there.

The Lenz company is known for its high-quality model railroads in gauge 0. With great care and attention to detail, Lenz produces models that are both visually and technically impressive. The 40150-02 Köf 2 is another example of the brand's commitment to authentically reproducing historical railroad vehicles and integrating state-of-the-art technology.

Detailed design and authentic color scheme

The model impresses with its true-to-original paintwork and lettering, which is typical of Era III of the German Federal Railways. Finely crafted details such as the filigree handrails, realistic lamps and the precise reproduction of the driver's cab have been implemented with the utmost accuracy. The authentic representation of the road number 6279 and the lettering of the Darmstadt depot give the model additional authenticity.

Technical features and digital equipment

The Lenz Köf 2 is equipped with a digital decoder and supports the 2-wire direct current system (DC). It has an integrated sound decoder that reproduces realistic operating sounds and thus enriches the driving experience on the model railway layout.

Era III and the German Federal Railroad: Reconstruction and modernization

Era III was characterized by the reconstruction and modernization of the railroad system in Germany. During this time, the German Federal Railroad increasingly relied on diesel locomotives such as the Köf 2 to make shunting operations more efficient and gradually replace steam operation. The Köf 2 played a decisive role in this and became a symbol of progress in shunting services.
