ABe 4/4 II railcar, No. 41, silver decorative stripe at the bottom,
of the RhB, Era V.
The weatherproof Pullman model features all prototype-specific
details and is produced as a handcrafted model in a plastic and
metal mixed construction. The end grab bars and hose couplings are
made from individually attached parts and are factory-mounted. The
railcars are manufactured slightly shorter than the prototype to
enable operation on all standard track radii (from 600 mm). The
body receives a durable paint finish for an even more
prototype-like appearance. Paintwork and lettering correspond to
the respective construction states. The multi-part and
multi-colored painted driver's cabs and passenger compartments are
atmospherically illuminated by warm white LEDs.
Of course, you can also switch all prototype-specific front signals
in digital operation. The roof-mounted pantographs made of metal
are smoothly raised and lowered by high-quality ESU servos,
accompanied by original sound. You can digitally set the height to
which the pantographs should extend.
Each of the two bogies is powered by a powerful seven-pole Bühler
motor, which transmits its power wear-free to both axles of the
bogies via ball-bearing shafts. The axles carry wheels made of
stainless steel and are also guided in ball bearings. A three-point
suspension of the bogies ensures constant contact of all wheels
with the track, thus guaranteeing a secure power pickup at all
times.
Nevertheless, the ESU LokSound XL V4.0 digital decoder is
factory-equipped with a "PowerPack" energy storage device, which
guarantees a consistently secure power supply even on the dirtiest
tracks in the garden. The digital equipment with several new
acoustic functions in the garden railway sector allows you to
experience your layout in a completely new way.
The powerful original sound is emitted to the outside world by a
large 50mm speaker with a sound capsule. Innovative sensors allow
the typical squeaking sound to be heard in curves, depending on
speed. At the ends, the railcar is equipped with LGB-compatible
couplings.
