Diesel locomotive, 360 608, orange-gray, Bocholter, Ep V,
Sound+Smoke, electric coupling, DC/AC
The DB-V60 is completely new as an ESU model! Chassis, body, motor,
transmission, collector and holder, smoke unit, lighting, digital
coupling, speaker, and all details have been newly developed. The
lamp inserts feature vertical engravings to match the impression of
DB standard lanterns.
The conversion from AC (factory condition) to DC operation is done
by removing the center collector and switching a small toggle
switch located just before the front axle.
The digitally remote-controlled electromagnetic coupling is located
in a standard socket, is height-adjustable in two stages, and can
be easily replaced or swapped with any coupling without soldering,
thanks to a plug.
The newly designed smoke generator produces a larger steam
output.
Completely new is the LokSound 5 decoder. Smooth driving
characteristics and a range of useful functions and settings excite
the operator. There is a "Heavy Train" function, where the
acceleration and braking time are doubled, and the motor operates
at a higher RPM acoustically. With the "Locomotive Brake," the
locomotive goes into idle and brakes slightly stronger - if
necessary, to a complete stop - regardless of the throttle setting.
In shunting mode, the locomotive accelerates and decelerates more
strongly than in normal operation.
