Tender locomotive D793 of the RAG, Era IV with sound and smoke,
DC/AC
Prototype condition around 1972
The finely detailed model is mostly made of metal and features a
variety of separately applied parts. It goes without saying that
the prototype-specific differences are taken into account. A visual
highlight is also the wheels designed with thin spokes.
The model is depicted with largely worn wheel tires, allowing the
wheel stars to have prototype-appropriate dimensions. This leaves
enough space for the flange to be designed in such a way that safe
operation on two- and three-rail tracks is possible. To minimize
compromises in the chassis, we guarantee operation only on radii
from 420 mm. Since the locomotives were used in local freight and
shunting service, they are equipped with a shunting coupling in the
standard pocket on both sides.
- Newly designed smoke generator
- Crosshead, slide bar, and piston rod made of metal
Matching hook couplings with non-magnetic hooks are included with
the locomotive. Of course, the model emits smoke from the chimney
in a wheel- and locomotive sound-synchronized manner, controlled by
axle sensors. This makes operating the classic Prussian locomotive
a visual and acoustic delight.
Naturally, we paid close attention to the prototype when designing
the sounds. For example, during downhill runs, the acoustic can be
switched to counter-pressure brake using the function key,
mimicking the Riggenbach counter-pressure brake.
The acoustics of the various air and feed pumps were also
different. Shunting is done prototypically under the dual lighting
of the right lower lantern. In the Prussian variant, the third
headlight can be activated to display the head signal Zg 7 (counter
train signal).
For the first time in large series, the lanterns are designed to be
free-standing, as per the prototype. When coal is acoustically
shoveled into the firebox, the firebox lighting also glows.
