Liliput L162587 N Diesel locomotive 333 057-8, DB, Ep. IV - Purple shunting power of the 70s and 80s

With the Liliput L162587, Liliput brings a classic shunting locomotive model of the German Federal Railroad to the layout in N scale. The class 333 with the road number 333 057-8 appears in the typical purple-red color scheme of Era IV. This compact diesel locomotive, built according to the 1969 prototype, stands for the reliable works and shunting service of the 1970s and early 1980s and is a perfect match for branch line operations and industrial facilities.

From a Gmeinder new build to a Bundesbahn shunting locomotive

The locomotive was accepted by the German Federal Railroad on 26.08.1969 - built by Gmeinder under the factory number 5453. It already bore the lettering for Era IV when it was delivered. In 1994, it was repainted in Orient red / light gray as part of a general overhaul. After being equipped with radio remote control, it was reclassified as the 335 series in 1995. It was later transferred to InfraServ Logistics GmbH, where it was painted green in 2005. The model shows the condition of the locomotive in purple red as it was in active DB service in 1982 - an authentic contemporary document of the classic DB shunting era.

Purple-red elegance in N scale

The model impresses with its exact reproduction of the purple-red paintwork, intricate engravings and razor-sharp lettering. The detailed design makes the locomotive a real eye-catcher on any Era IV layout despite its compact design of just 49 mm. The typical design of the Köf II series has been perfectly captured and ensures a high level of recognition.

Digital or analog - flexibility for your layout

The locomotive is designed for analog operation ex works, but can be easily retrofitted with a decoder thanks to the integrated digital interface. Ideal for smaller stations, industrial connections or as a depot highlight - the 333 057-8 fits perfectly on layouts with a focus on the everyday operations of the German Federal Railroad.
