Tender locomotive series 694 (ex Prussian T16.1) of the ÖBB, era
III, operating number 694 1266.
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 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 on 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,
controlled by axle sensors and synchronized with the wheel and
LokSound. This makes operating the classic Prussian locomotive a
visual and acoustic pleasure.
Naturally, we paid close attention to the prototype when designing
the sounds. For example, during downhill runs, the sound can be
switched to counter-pressure brake using the function button,
simulating the Riggenbach counter-pressure brake.
The acoustics of the various air and feed pumps were also
different. Shunting is done prototype-accurately under the dual
illumination of the right lower lantern. In the Prussian variant,
the third marker light can be activated to display the marker
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 shoveled into the
firebox acoustically, the firebox lighting also glows.
