Prototype: Class 55 - The freight locomotive with an international operating profile

The Prussian G 8.1, later known as the class 55, was one of the most important freight locomotives of its time. Even after the Second World War, it was in service in many European countries - including the Dutch state railroad. The robust design, the striking external linkage and the simple maintenance made it a reliable workhorse for heavy freight service.

Model technology and equipment

The model has a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder with full mfx® support and produces true-to-original steam locomotive sounds. The lights change in white/white depending on the direction of travel. Four traction tires provide reliable traction. The detailed driver's cab, the free-standing whistle, the fully functional linkage and the tender equipped with imitation coal complete the high level of detail of this AC-capable locomotive.
