DR - 18 201 steam locomotive
The prototype is based on the locomotive from the GDR's State Railroad, created from parts of road numbers 61 002 and H45 024 by the VES-M Halle. The model replicates the locomotive's appearance circa 2017, when used for special trains. Key features include new tooling, intricate metal construction, a variety of applied details, a factory-installed smoke unit with dynamic smoke exhaust varying with speed, separate control for cab and running gear lights, and operating, current-conducting close couplers on the tender and auxiliary tender.
Equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder, the model offers extensive light and sound functions. The locomotive, primarily made of metal, features controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel in the boiler, powered 3 axles, and traction tires. The adjustable close coupling between the locomotive and tender and the lighting at the end of the tender are digitally controllable. The model adheres to the NEM buffer height and is compatible with a minimum operation radius of 360 mm. The total length over buffers is approximately 40,8 cm.
A DC version is available in the Trix H0 assortment as item number 25020.
