The Rivarossi HR2988S H0 Vossloh DE 18 diesel locomotive is a detailed replica of the powerful diesel-electric locomotive used by BASF. This model not only impresses with its prototypical orange-grey color scheme and the detailed implementation, but also with the factory-installed sound decoder, which ensures a realistic sound experience. With its modern equipment, the locomotive is a must for model railroad fans who value sound and digital control.
The Vossloh DE 18 is one of the most modern diesel-electric locomotives in Europe. It was developed to offer maximum performance both in shunting yards and on line service. With an engine output of 1,800 kW and a maximum speed of 120 km/h, it is both efficient and versatile. BASF uses these locomotives for internal plant traffic and for the connection between production sites, whereby the striking orange-grey paintwork has a high recognition value.
As one of the world's leading chemical companies, BASF operates its own fleet of locomotives to optimize internal material transport. The Vossloh DE 18 is an essential component in meeting the high logistical requirements. The combination of performance, reliability and environmentally friendly technology makes it an ideal partner for the requirements of Era VI.
Rivarossi is known worldwide for its precisely manufactured models, which are both visually and technically impressive. With the HR2988S Vossloh DE 18 diesel locomotive, Rivarossi offers a detailed replica that impresses with its high-quality workmanship and integrated sound technology. Each model is manufactured with great care to meet the highest demands.
The Rivarossi HR2988S is equipped with a factory-fitted sound decoder that provides realistic operating sounds such as engine noises, signal noises and typical shunting sounds. These sounds create an authentic atmosphere on the model railway layout and make every journey a special experience. The combination of digital control and prototypical sounds clearly sets this model apart from conventional locomotives.
The model is designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC) and has a Next18 interface that allows easy adaptation or expansion. The red and white light change and the interior lighting provide a realistic appearance. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 195 mm and a coupling shaft according to NEM with close coupling kinematics, the locomotive can be easily integrated into existing train formations.
Era VI, which begins in 2007 and extends to the present day, stands for the increasing privatization and modernization of rail transport. The Vossloh DE 18 represents these developments with its advanced technology and environmentally friendly features. It is a prime example of modern demands for efficiency, safety and flexibility.
The orange-grey color scheme of the locomotive corresponds to the model of the BASF fleet and ensures clear recognizability. The detailed implementation includes fine lettering and precisely reproduced technical elements. This model combines functionality and aesthetics, making it an eye-catcher on any model railway layout.
To keep the locomotive in perfect condition, dust and dirt should be removed regularly with a soft brush. The moving parts should be lubricated occasionally with special model railroad oil. The sound decoder and electrical connections should be kept clean and protected from dust to ensure optimum performance.
The Rivarossi HR2988S H0 Vossloh DE 18 diesel locomotive is a must-have for model railroaders who value authentic sounds and modern technology. With its powerful equipment, factory-integrated sound and faithful reproduction, this model offers everything a model train enthusiast's heart desires. It is the perfect addition to any H0 layout and combines functionality with aesthetics at the highest level.
