The side ventilation grilles made of fine etched parts are an eye-catcher and give the locomotive an incomparable elegance. The striking front windows and perfectly flush-fitted portholes contribute to the high-quality overall impression, as do the precisely designed bogies.

Integrated sound decoder

Technical features and driving characteristics

A powerful motor with two flywheels guarantees smooth running characteristics and high tractive power. Two traction tires provide additional traction, while the light change depending on the direction of travel (white/red) is implemented with modern LED technology. The digitally switchable driver's cab lighting increases the functionality of the model. Thanks to the PluX22 interface (NEM 658), all digital functions can be conveniently controlled.

Era IV: Railway romance of the post-war period
