Diesel locomotive DE 6616 (Class 66/77) of Mitsui Rail Capital Europe GmbH (MRCE), Era VI.

Version of the Class 66/77 modified to the JT42CWRM variant in black MRCE (Dispolok) livery with the number ERSR 6616.

The model is equipped with a load-dependent, pulsed smoke generator that produces varying intensities of smoke plumes according to the load. The built-in sensors, which provide situational sounds in curves and switch tracks, are controlled by a brand-new LokSound V4.0 M4 decoder. In addition to DCC with RailComPlus, the model also understands the M4 protocol and therefore registers itself with ESU ECoS or Märklin central station autonomously. Since it also supports Motorola or Selectrix, there are no obstacles to using the ESU Class 66/77 on all common central stations.

The integrated PowerPack energy storage ensures that comfortable operation is possible even on dirty tracks. The unique two-stroke diesel sound is emitted particularly distinctly by two speakers through the etched fan grille on the roof. A complete lighting system including cab lighting, driver's desk lighting, and shunting lights with warm white LEDs rounds off the technical equipment. All lighting effects present on the prototype can be represented, including the "warning blinkers" or two-light head signal commonly used in Belgium.

The frame and body of the model are made of metal and provide a realistic traction force thanks to a weight of about 590 g. All structural differences between the variants, such as different covers for the battery boxes, are taken into account in the ESU models.

The Class 66/77 is a hybrid model that allows safe operation on two- and three-rail tracks with a wheelset gauge of 14.1 mm. For two-rail operation, the middle slider can simply be removed with the included tool.

Embedded in a metal frame is a five-pole precision motor with slotted winding and noise-optimized commutator – developed by ESU. This transmits its power, tamed by two thick flywheels, through a worm/gear drive to four of the six axles. LEDs in the bogies provide realistic flickering during braking.

Scope of delivery:
Locomotive in representative packaging. Spare parts package with traction tires and replacement small parts (wipers, steps, etc.). Pipette for filling the smoke generator. Extensive documentation with prototype information.
