Märklin 39772 H0 E-Lok EG 524, DRG, Ep. I, AC-MFX-Sound

Are you looking for a historic electric locomotive of Era I as part of the MHI collector's series?

The Märklin 39772 H0 Electric Locomotive EG 524, DRG, Era I, AC MFX Sound is a special model for model railroaders and collectors who are interested in the history of electric locomotives. The prototype is the electric locomotive EG 524 HALLE of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, DRG for short. This locomotive later became known as class E 71.1.

With its brown-green basic color scheme, the road number EG 524 and the operating condition from 1921, this model fits perfectly into an H0 model railroad world of Era I. The classification as locomotive 1 of 6 of the MHI collection series History of Electric Locomotives of Era I-VI is particularly appealing. This makes this model not only suitable for running, but also as a collector's item within a thematically structured series.

Prototype: EG 524 HALLE electric locomotive

The EG 524 HALLE is one of the early electric locomotives of the German State Railroad. In the information provided, it is referred to as the later class E 71.1. The brown-green basic color scheme and the operating condition from 1921 give the model a clear historical orientation.

Models from Era I in particular bring a special atmosphere to the layout. They represent an early phase of railroad operation and show vehicle designs that are clearly different from later generations of locomotives. The Märklin 39772 takes up this theme with a compact but expressive electric locomotive.

Märklin 39772 H0 Electric Locomotive EG 524 with AC MFX Sound

The model is equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder and has extensive sound functions. This locomotive combines a historic prototype with modern digital technology. The controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass is installed centrally.

Both axles in each driving gear are driven by cardan shafts. The locomotive also has traction tires. Both driving frames are connected to each other by a coupling rod. This technical design gives the model an interesting effect and supports the characteristic impression of the locomotive.

Light functions and digital switching options

The Märklin 39772 has a dual headlights that change over with the direction of travel and two red marker lights. These light functions are in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The headlights on locomotive end 2 and locomotive end 1 can each be turned off separately in digital operation.

In addition, the third headlight can be switched digitally as a train meeting light. The cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. A buffer memory is also included.

Detailed design with booklet

The model has many separately applied parts, including grab irons and brake hoses. The buffer height corresponds to NEM. With a length over buffers of 13.3 cm, the locomotive is compact and yet very present in the H0 model railway world.

An enclosed booklet provides information about the history of the locomotive. This makes the model even more interesting for collectors who not only want to own a vehicle, but also want to understand the historical background of the EG 524 HALLE.
