Märklin 88434 Z Class 143 Electric Locomotive - DB AG, Era V with a bell-shaped armature motor

The Märklin 88434 represents the universal electric locomotive 143 007-3 of the Deutsche Bahn AG, Traction Division in Era V operating condition. This model in Z scale (1:220) has impressive attention to detail, modern technology, and smooth, powerful running - ideal for use in local and freight service on your layout.

The model is equipped with a powerful bell-shaped armature motor. Both bogies are fully powered so that all axles have traction. This results in smooth and reliable running, even in demanding driving situations on smaller radii.

The LED lighting alternates between white headlights and red tail lights depending on the direction of travel. Maintenance-free light-emitting diodes are used for this. A printed train destination display in the driver's cab window rounds off the realistic appearance of this universal locomotive.

The overhead line switching screw has been relocated to the inside in line with the model, which contributes to a roof design that is true to the original. With a length over buffers of 76 mm, the locomotive fits seamlessly into modern Z layouts and is the perfect addition to Era V train sets with DB AG passenger or freight cars.

With its technical equipment, sturdy construction, and fine details, the Märklin 88434 class 143 is an ideal model for both operation and collection.
