The 79388 H0 steam locomotive 38 3553 from the German Federal Railroad (DB) is a high-quality edition model that combines historic steam technology with the latest digital and sound equipment. With authentic steam, intricate detail and powerful technology, this locomotive is the perfect addition to your AC model railway layout.
The class 38 steam locomotives were a familiar sight on German branch lines for many years. With their 3-domed boiler, the distinctive Witte wind deflectors and the riveted tenders, they were versatile workhorses in local traffic. Locomotive 38 3553 was stationed at the Bestwig depot in the Wuppertal Federal Railway Directorate (BD) and was characterized by its reliability and flexibility. It was an important part of German rail traffic until the gradual introduction of diesel and electric locomotives.
Era III (1945-1970) was a time of change, in which steam locomotives such as the class 38 continued to dominate local transportation, but were slowly replaced by more modern locomotives. This model brings the atmosphere of this transitional period to your model railway layout with impressive precision.
The model has a prototypical 3-domed boiler with feed dome, sandbox and steam dome. The riveted tender and the Witte wind deflectors are characteristic elements of the class 38 and give the locomotive an unmistakable appearance. The fine spoked wheels and the numerous separately applied details underline the high quality of this model.
A special highlight is the dynamic steam exhaust, which comes out via the chimney and provides a realistic driving experience. In digital mode, the driver's cab and engine lighting can be switched separately, giving the model an impressive effect even when running at night.
The integrated sound decoder offers a variety of authentic operating sounds, including steam development, starting and braking noises as well as characteristic steam locomotive signals. The digital control system enables precise operation of the lighting, steam and sound. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free LEDs that offer a prototypical light change (white).
The locomotive is made of robust materials, including metal components for the wheels, the engine and the intricate details. The precise printing and authentic color scheme make this model a gem on any layout. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics ensures a simple and reliable connection with other vehicles.
The locomotive requires little maintenance, but should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and dust from the wheels and moving parts. The steam generator should be filled and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimum operation. All moving parts can be lightly oiled if necessary.
The 79388 H0 steam locomotive 38 3553 with AC sound is a technical masterpiece that combines historical authenticity and the latest digital technology. With its detailed design, extensive functions and dynamic steam equipment, it is a highlight on any H0 layout. This model is a must for collectors and model railroaders who want to experience Era III in a realistic and impressive way.
