Description

96333 Class 346 Diesel Locomotive, DB Cargo, Era V: Versatile Shunting Locomotive for Freight Traffic

The TT class 346 diesel locomotive from DB Cargo is a compact, powerful model that authentically reproduces the versatile shunting operations of Era V on your model railway layout. With its characteristic appearance and the striking DB Cargo color scheme, this locomotive is an eye-catcher and an indispensable helper in freight traffic.

The prototype: The versatile class 346 shunting locomotive

The class 346, also known under its original designation V 60.10, was one of the most important shunting locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. From the 1990s, during Era V, DB Cargo took over many of these locomotives and used them across the board at railroad stations and shunting yards. Thanks to its versatility, the class 346 was predestined for light shunting service as well as for shunting heavy freight cars.

Detailed design in TT scale

The model impresses with the precise reproduction of the typical design, including the characteristic side ventilators and the clean printing in the striking DB Cargo design. The filigree implementation of the roof superstructure and the detailed design of the running gear make the locomotive a real gem.

Modern digital technology for realistic operation

The locomotive has a 3-light headlamp at the front and a 2-light taillight at the rear, which can be switched depending on the direction of travel. Thanks to the digital interface in accordance with NEM 662, the locomotive is easy to digitize. The installation of an electric coupler is also prepared, which enables automatic coupling and uncoupling in shunting operation.

Powerful and compact - ideal for shunting tasks

With a length over buffers of just 91 mm, the BR 346 is perfect for use on smaller layouts or in narrow track areas. Despite its compact design, it impresses with its tractive power and precise running characteristics, allowing it to move long rows of wagons without any problems.

Possible uses on your model railway layout

The class 346 is a true all-rounder and is suitable for a wide variety of tasks: from moving individual freight wagons in the shunting yard to operating smaller sidings and industrial facilities. With its typical Era V livery, it fits seamlessly into modern scenarios.

Conclusion: Compact, powerful and digitally expandable

The 96333 TT DB Cargo class 346 diesel locomotive combines classic design with modern digital functions. It is an excellent choice for model railroaders who want to recreate versatile and detailed shunting operations.
