Heavy freight locomotive in grey/orange paint scheme

The prototype is the heavy freight locomotive 162.007 from the Swedish railroad company Hectorail.

New generation of motors with bell-shaped armature motor

The model is equipped with a bell-type armature motor and features a new generation of motors. This technical equipment is an important feature for model railroaders who value modern drive technology. Both bogies are powered, making the locomotive ready for use in front of freight trains on the Z-gauge layout.

The body is made of metal-filled plastic. This material feature gives the model a special technical basis and fits in well with the compact size of the Z gauge. The dark nickel-plated wheel rims complete the high-quality visual effect of the locomotive.

Lighting and overhead wire operation

The Märklin 88262 Z electric locomotive 162 007 has 3-light headlights with warm white LEDs.
