Diesel locomotive class 218 in TEE livery of Westfrankenbahn, era V-VI with sound and smoke
Operating number: 218 105-5

The locomotive is equipped with a load-dependent smoke generator, extensive sensors that provide situational sounds in curves and switch tracks, a LokSound V4.0 decoder with two speakers, and an energy storage unit that ensures safe operation even on dirty tracks or long switch tracks. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the locomotive automatically registers with compatible command stations (e.g., ESU ECoS).
A complete lighting system including cab lighting, driver's desk lighting, and shunting lights with warm white LEDs rounds off the technical equipment.

The frame and body of the model are made of high-quality metal and allow for a realistic tractive effort thanks to a weight of over 500 g. If you wish to forgo traction tires, suitable replacement wheelsets are included with the two-rail variant. Embedded in a metal frame is a powerful five-pole precision motor with slotted winding and noise-optimized commutator - developed by ESU.
