The prototype - DH 63 in the service of the German Federal Railroad

The OHE was known for its powerful shunting locomotives. The DH 63 was leased to the DB in Braunschweig and used there for heavy shunting and works traffic. The robust design and compact shape made the machine ideal for demanding applications on sidings and in distribution centers.

Model - pure metal with digital power

The complete locomotive body, frame, wheels and coupling rods are made of die-cast zinc. There are also numerous attached metal parts such as handle bars, windshield wipers, bell and brake lines. The locomotive is driven by a powerful motor on all axles. Thanks to the mfx digital decoder with parameterizable current memory, the locomotive continues to run safely even when contact is interrupted.
