NEW Märklin 55511 1 Diesellok DH 500 Ca E+H, Ep. V, DC-MFX-Sound

Large-Scale Steel Mill Power - Märklin Gauge 1 Diesel Locomotive DH 500 Ca E+H

The Märklin 55511 DH 500 Ca diesel locomotive brings the typical industrial look of the 1990s to your 1 Gauge layout with locomotive no. 780 from Eisenbahn und Häfen GmbH (E+H). This fully equipped, digitally controllable model stands for rugged technology in heavy factory traffic - ideal for model railroaders with a love of detail and an appreciation for industrial operations and a factory atmosphere.

The prototype - industrial workhorse for railroads and ports

E+H GmbH, based in Duisburg-Hamborn, operated shunting and transportation services for the surrounding steelworks. The Henschel locomotive DH 500 Ca was a proven powerhouse - compact, powerful and reliable in factory use. Locomotive no. 780 was an integral part of the works and port railway operations in the Ruhr area around 1995.

Model - Solid, modern, fully digital

The entire body - including chassis, main frame, wheels and coupling rods - is made of die-cast zinc. Many attached metal parts such as handle bars, windshield wipers, bell or brake lines ensure excellent detail. The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, parameterizable current storage and a high-performance motor with all-axle drive.

Pure lighting, sound and function

A three-light LED headlamp changes digitally to a red marker light. The driver's cab is illuminated with warm white LEDs, the doors can be opened and a train driver figure is already installed. Extensive sound functions round off the experience - from the engine noise to the shunting bell.

Shunting professional with telex coupling

The locomotive is equipped with remote-controlled telex couplings at the front and rear as standard - for prototypical operation. These can be exchanged for screw couplings (not included). The buffer beams are equipped with spring buffers and numerous detailed parts.

Compatible with Märklin Digital, mfx, DCC and AC/DC systems. Minimum passable radius: 1,020 mm. Length over buffers: 27.8 cm. Weight: approx. 3.5 kg - provides enormous tractive power in model operation.
