It was used for light and medium shunting service - with maximum speeds of 30 km/h in shunting operation and 60 km/h in mainline operation. The power output is around 478 kW.

Compatibility & possible applications

The model is designed for digital DC operation (DCC) and can be integrated into modern TT layouts. The locomotive is particularly suitable for shunting tasks, transfers and realistic branch line material.

Purchase arguments & target group
