Description

Are you looking for a powerful LGB diesel locomotive from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad?

The LGB 25559 G Alco diesel locomotive DL 535 E No. 101, D&S, Era V, DC MFX sound is an impressive model for anyone looking for an American narrow gauge diesel locomotive with a strong prototype history and extensive digital equipment. The model shows the Alco diesel locomotive DL 535 E with the road number 101 in the design of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Rail road, now a well-known tourist attraction, was opened in the 1880s. With a length of more than 70 km, the line winds along the Animas River and connects the city of Durango with the mining town of Silverton. In the past, the line was used to transport gold and silver ore from the mines in the San Juan region. Today it is used exclusively for tourist passenger transportation.

Role model with a strong museum railroad character

In addition to the K-36 and K-37 steam locomotives, DL 535 diesel locomotives are also used on the line of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. These originate from the White Pass & Yukon and were built by Alco. The locomotives have a 1,200 HP motor.

This means that the LGB 25559 has a prototype that is closely associated with a traditional American museum railroad. The combination of impressive track, mining history, tourist passenger traffic and powerful Alco diesel locomotive makes this model particularly interesting for garden railroaders and collectors with a focus on American narrow gauge railroads.

LGB Model of the Alco DL 535 E No. 101

The model is designed in the nominal size G and represents the Alco DL 535 E diesel locomotive with the road number 101. The paint scheme and lettering are true to the original and reflect the design of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The clear assignment to the D&S and to Era V makes the locomotive particularly suitable for layouts on which American museum railroad operation or tourist passenger service is to be depicted. The locomotive not only makes a strong visual impact on the layout, but also technically.

Drive, decoder and sound functions

Both bogies of the locomotive are powered. Each bogie is moved by a powerful high-performance motor with ball bearings. This equipment provides a powerful technical basis and makes the locomotive particularly interesting for use on the G layout.

An mfx/DCC decoder is built in. This provides a variety of authentic sound and light functions that can be controlled digitally. This equipment supports a lively and realistic effect in operation, especially for a diesel locomotive with a museum railroad prototype.

Details and operating options

The model has many applied details. This design gives the locomotive a particularly vivid effect and makes it interesting to look at closely. The doors on the driver's cab can also be opened.

The length over the coupler is 63 cm. This makes the LGB 25559 a present locomotive for nominal size G and a striking vehicle in the fleet of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
