Product details and technical information
The locomotive belongs to the H0 gauge (scale 1:87) and is designed for operation on two-wire direct current systems. It has a digital interface according to the PluX22 standard, which makes the installation of a decoder or sound module particularly easy. The length over buffers is approx. 221 mm - suitable for typical routes and track curves on H0 layouts.

The printing is sharp and abrasion-resistant, the body is engraved in great detail. The roof equipment, especially the pantographs, is also finely modeled and rounds off the high-quality overall picture.
Digital options & compatibility
