Minitrix 16828 N Diesellok BR 218, DB, Ep. IV, DC-MFX-Sound Product Details
Märklin 16828 N Class 218 Diesel Locomotive, DB, DC MFX Sound - Classic of the Federal Railroad Era
The Märklin 16828 class 218 diesel locomotive is a perfect addition for all model railroaders who want to recreate the typical German Federal Railroad local and long-distance service of the 1970s in N scale. With the road number 218 209-5, the model represents a multi-purpose locomotive as it was around 1974 - equipped with electric train heating and suitable for both passenger and freight trains.
Proven technology in a compact scale
The locomotive is equipped with a powerful motor with a flywheel that drives four axles. Traction tires ensure reliable tractive power even on steep gradients. The close-coupling kinematics allow realistic operation in tight radii and with short distances between cars.
Digital equipment with sound and light
A digital decoder with mfx and DCC compatibility and an integrated sound generator offer numerous sound functions. The LED headlights change depending on the direction of travel, as do the marker lights. The cab lighting can also be switched digitally. The attached grab irons give the model a prototypical look.
