With modern digital technology, simulated exhaust emissions and a variety of sound functions, this model authentically brings the power and presence of the BR 132 to your model railroad layout. Its robust construction and precise attention to detail make it a highlight for demanding model railroaders.

The prototype: The DR BR 132 diesel locomotive

The class 132, also known as the "Ludmilla", was one of the most powerful diesel locomotives of the German State Railroad. It was mainly used for heavy freight and passenger transport and shaped the image of the East German railway landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. With its characteristic shape and enormous tractive power, the class 132 is one of the best-known locomotives of its time.

Märklin - quality and innovation

This model of the class 132 impresses with the typical Märklin quality and state-of-the-art technology. The integrated mfx/DCC decoder offers a large number of sound and light functions, while the simulated exhaust emissions with a piezo nebulizer provide even more realism. The sturdy construction and precise workmanship guarantee long-lasting enjoyment when operating this locomotive.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 36436

The diesel locomotive has a powerful drive with four axles driven by cardan shafts. Traction tires provide optimum traction, while the lighting with warm white and red LEDs provides a realistic appearance. The three-light headlights and the red marker lights can be controlled digitally depending on the direction of travel. The double A-light function and the headlights that can be switched off separately increase flexibility in operation.

Realism through simulated exhaust emissions

A special highlight is the simulated exhaust emission, which is generated by a piezo nebulizer. This can be controlled digitally in three stages and works with distilled water. This function ensures an impressive driving experience and makes the locomotive a real eye-catcher on the layout.
