Electric locomotive E94 128 of DB in green, Era III.
Prototype condition around 1967, LokSound, pantograph drive,
DC/AC.
The ESU model features a finely detailed metal body and metal-built
front structures. Numerous separately applied parts made of metal
and plastic convey the powerful impression of the prototype in the
model. The epoch-appropriate differences between the locomotives
can be found on the metal chassis. Notable are the different number
of sandboxes, the reproduction of wooden and metal steps on the
roof, and of course the design of the lamps. It goes without saying
that the lamps are freestanding.
The delicate pantographs can be remotely controlled to raise and
lower individually from the central unit. Separate controls are
available for the shunting lights (one lamp on each side) and the
driver's cab lighting.
The locomotive is also equipped with sensors for situational sounds
in curves, a LokSound V4.0 M4 decoder with two speakers, and an
energy storage unit that ensures safe operation even on dirty
tracks or long switch tracks.
Thanks to RailCom Plus functionality, the locomotive automatically
registers with compatible central units (e.g., ESU ECoS). The
proven universal electronics with plug-in slider and universal
wheelsets found in other ESU locomotives are also present in the
E94.
The LokSound decoder naturally reproduces the original sounds of
the E94. To ensure enough space for the speaker and its sound
capsule, each bogie contains a compact bell-armature motor with a
flywheel that drives two axles. Four traction tires ensure that the
locomotive can transfer its power to the tracks. For perfect
current collection, the middle axles are equipped with
suspension.
