Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive
light and sound functions. Different operating sounds, such as oil
and water being replenished or the sounds of opening and closing
the sliding windows and the ventilation hatch on the cab, can be
controlled digitally. It also has a controlled high-performance
motor with a flywheel, mounted in the boiler. Six axles are
powered. Traction tires are fitted. The chassis is articulated to
negotiate sharp curves. The model has Boxpok wheels. The locomotive
and tender have headlights and backup lights. The headlights will
work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The
cab lighting and the illuminated number boards/marker lights can be
controlled separately in digital operation. Maintenance-free,
warm-white LEDs are used for the lighting. A buffer capacitor is
fitted. The factory-installed, speed-dependent, dynamic smoke
exhaust can also be controlled digitally. There is a powerful
speaker in the tender. An imitation coupler in a standard pocket
can be mounted on the pilot at the front of the locomotive. There
is a close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive
and tender. Steam lines on the front group of driving wheels are
mounted to swing out and back with the cylinders. The metal
handrails are separately applied, as are many other details.
Figures of a locomotive engineer and fireman for the engineer’s cab
are included. The locomotive is screwed to a presentation base to
protect it during transport. Length over the couplers 42.5 cm /
16-3/4".
Notes for operation: Although the locomotive can be used on curved
track with a radius of 360 mm / 14-3/16" or larger, we recommend
larger radius curves. Due to the overhang of the long boiler, any
signals, catenary masts, bridge handrails, tunnel portals, etc.
must be installed in such a way that ensures sufficient clearance
on curves. Due to the high weight of the locomotive, the track must
be firmly secured in position. The turntable and transfer table can
be traversed by the locomotive but not turned or moved. Products
