Description

Liliput L133858 H0 4-piece ODEG "KISS" electric multiple unit: Modern regional railroad on your layout

The Liliput L133858 H0 4-part ODEG "KISS" electric multiple unit train brings modern regional transportation to your model railway layout on a scale of 1:87. With its exact realization of the Stadler double-decker train, this model offers the highest level of detail and realistic functions. The equipment with a digital decoder, interior lighting and prototypical motorization ensures an authentic driving experience. This train is particularly effective in modern model landscapes with platforms and local transport operations.

The prototype: The Stadler KISS multiple unit of the ODEG

Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (ODEG) operates numerous local lines in Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony-Anhalt. In 2010, it ordered a total of 16 four-car double-decker KISS multiple-unit trains from Swiss manufacturer Stadler Rail in order to cope with the increased passenger numbers. These trains were originally due to enter service from December 2012, but were only integrated into the timetable from March 2013. They have been undergoing modernization since 2020, with more comfortable second-class seats, floors made from recyclable materials and Wi-Fi routers installed. Train number ET 445.104 is a characteristic vehicle of the ODEG fleet and runs on the RE8 line between Berlin and Wismar, among others.

ODEG as a modern railroad company

ODEG is one of the largest private railroad companies in Germany. It was founded in 2002 and operates regional rail and regional express routes in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn. The use of modern multiple-unit trains such as the KISS series enables comfortable, fast and environmentally friendly passenger transport. With its eye-catching yellow-green livery, the ODEG fleet cannot be overlooked on many routes in north-eastern Germany.

Liliput: Precision and quality in model making

The manufacturer Liliput, known for its high-quality model railroads, is once again setting standards in terms of attention to detail and technical features with the L133858 KISS multiple unit. As part of Bachmann Europe Plc, Liliput has been developing models with high precision and attention to detail for decades. The workmanship of the multiple unit is impressive with finely printed lettering, realistic windows and a detailed interior. Thanks to its stable construction and precise mechanics, this model offers a long service life and excellent running characteristics.

Technical details and functionality

The model is equipped with two motors, one in each of the two power cars, which ensures even power transmission to the rails. Operation is possible both on conventional tracks and under overhead lines. Thanks to the built-in interior lighting, the detailed interior fittings are shown to their best advantage, and the light changes depending on the direction of travel with three headlights at the front and two tail lights provide a realistic representation of operation. The digital decoder is equipped with ESU LokPilot technology and supports the Motorola/Märklin format as well as mfx. The in-house current-carrying coupler ensures a reliable power supply for the individual cars. The model has a length over buffers of 1175 mm and is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm.

Design and color scheme

The striking yellow-green livery corresponds to the current appearance of the ODEG fleet. The train destination display "RE8 Wismar" and the finely printed service numbers give the model a prototypical look. The realistic design is also continued in the interior, where the seating and equipment have been reproduced exactly. The fine printing of the car numbers and technical information in particular ensures a high recognition value.

Use on the model railroad layout

The model is ideal for modern layouts that reproduce today's local traffic. It can be used on routes with overhead line operation or conventional tracks. The KISS multiple unit is particularly effective in combination with platforms, stations and other local trains. The high level of detail and excellent workmanship make it a highlight for collectors and model railroaders.

Care and maintenance

Dust should be removed from the model regularly to ensure long-lasting high functionality. The couplings and drive parts should be checked occasionally for wear and lubricated with special model railroad oil if necessary. Careful cleaning of the windows and paintwork will preserve the brilliant appearance of the multiple unit.
