Electric locomotive class E94 of the DB, era III in bottle green livery.
Operating number: E94 048

Often referred to as German crocodiles due to their articulated three-part design, these six-axle locomotives are now being commemorated by ESU in H0 scale.

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 are naturally reflected in the metal chassis. Notable are the different numbers 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 cab lighting.

The locomotive is also equipped with sensors for situational sounds in curves and switch tracks, 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 provide enough space for the speaker and its sound capsule, each bogie contains a compact bell-armature motor with a flywheel, driving two axles each. Four traction tires ensure that the locomotive transfers its power to the tracks. For perfect current collection, the middle axles are designed to be sprung.
