The 71388 H0 steam locomotive 38 3553 of the German Federal Railroad (DB) is a high-quality edition model that combines historic steam technology with state-of-the-art digital and sound equipment. With its dynamic steam output and detailed design, this locomotive is a highlight for discerning model railroaders and collectors.
The class 38 steam locomotives were indispensable workhorses on German branch lines. Their robust construction, the characteristic 3-domed boiler and the distinctive Witte wind deflectors characterized the image of local and passenger traffic. Locomotive 38 3553 was stationed at the Bestwig depot of the Wuppertal Federal Railroad Directorate (BD). Until the gradual introduction of diesel and electric locomotives, these engines were an indispensable pillar of local transport.
In Era III (1945-1970), steam locomotives such as the class 38 continued to dominate passenger services. At the same time, however, the gradual modernization through new drive technologies began. The model reflects this period of change with authentic details and state-of-the-art technology.
The model impresses with its 3-domed boiler with feed dome, sandbox and steam dome. The riveted tender and the Witte wind deflectors give the locomotive an unmistakable appearance. The wheels with fine spokes and the numerous separately applied details such as pipes and fittings are evidence of the highest precision.
A special highlight is the dynamic steam outlet, which exits via the chimney and makes the model look particularly authentic. In addition, the driver's cab and engine lighting can be switched in digital mode and ensure a realistic representation during operation on your model railway layout.
The model is equipped with an integrated sound decoder that offers a variety of operating sounds. From typical steam generation to starting and braking noises, every journey is acoustically accompanied. The digital functions allow precise control of lighting, steam and sound. The lighting is provided by long-life LEDs that ensure a prototypical light change (white).
The locomotive is made of robust materials, including fine metal components for the wheels and engine. The precise printing and authentic color scheme make the model a gem on any layout. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics ensures easy connection to other wagons and locomotives.
The locomotive requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly. In particular, the wheels and moving parts of the engine should be cleaned of dirt and occasionally lightly oiled. The steam generator should be filled and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimum operation.
The 71388 H0 steam locomotive 38 3553 with DC sound is a technical masterpiece that combines historical authenticity with the latest digital technology. The combination of dynamic steam, extensive sound functions and filigree workmanship makes it a highlight on any H0 layout. This model is a must for anyone who wants to experience the fascination of Era III in an impressive way.
