26543 - Steam-Powered
Era IV commuter train set with
Class 23 locomotive w/Tender and 3 "Silberlingen" Cars
Prototype:
Commuter “Push-Pull” train set of the German Railway (DB) Consists
of passenger train locomotive Class 23, passenger coach type ABnb
703 “Silberling” 1st and 2nd class, passenger
coach type Bnb 720 “Silberling” 2nd class and passenger
coach control car type BDnf 738 with baggage compartment.
Model:
There is an electrical connection between the cars. The power
pickup, the headlights and the marker lights change over with the
direction of travel between the locomotive and the cab control car.
The headlights and marker lights for the train that change over with
the direction of travel and the smoke generator that can be
installed in the locomotive will work in conventional operation and
can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has an mfx digital
decoder and a sound generator. It also has controlled Softdrive Sine
high-efficiency propulsion and a maintenance-free, compact design
motor. 3 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and the
tender are constructed mostly of metal. There is a close coupling
with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and the tender. A 7226
smoke generator can be installed in the locomotive. The pickup shoe
changeover can be deactivated in digital operation when the
locomotive is running by itself and the normal headlight changeover
can be activated. Only the pickup shoe changeover can be deactivated
in conventional operation when the locomotive is running by itself.
The headlights are warm white LEDs. The locomotive and tender have
close couplers in NEM coupler pockets with guide mechanisms. Brake
hoses and protection sleeves for the piston rods are included as
detail parts. The "Silberlinge" / "Silver Coins" commuter cars have
lightweight Minden-Deutz design trucks with double brake shoes. The
cab control car has 3 warm white LEDs for headlights and 2 red LEDs
for marker lights that change over with the direction of travel. The
73400/73401 interior lighting kit (2 each per car) can be installed
in all of the cars. Total length over the buffers 109.4 cm /
43-1/16".
Highlights:
-
Genuine “push-pull” train with automatic change-over
of pickup shoes
-
Model of the actual train “Hanweiler –
Saarbrucken”
-

DB Class 234"Ludmilla" Diesel Locomotive
Prototype:
Class 234
Heavy Diesel Locomotive “Ludmilla” of the German Railroad, Inc. (DB
AG). Execution in turquoise paint scheme.
Model: The
locomotive is constructed of metal. It has a digital decoder and a
special can motor with a flywheel. 4 axles powered. 2 traction
tires. The triple headlights change over with the direction of
travel, will work in conventional operation and can be controlled
digitally. Maintenance-free LED's are used for the headlights. The
acceleration and braking delay can be controlled digitally with a
6021 Control Unit or Märklin Systems. Length over the buffers 23.9
cm / 9-7/16".
Highlights:
-
Locomotive constructed of metal.
-
Digital decoder built in; powerful four-axle
propulsion.
-
Engineer's cab interior reproduced.
The reunification of Germany and
the unification of the German State Railway and German Railroad,
Inc. (DB AG) also brought about the re-painting of the former DR
equipment. The "Ludmilla" with road number 234 304-4 is of
particular note as it did not receive the characteristic red paint
scheme, but instead was painted in the "mint turquoise" scheme shown
here -- a situation with which proponents of the typical red scheme
still take issue. Whether you prefer it in red or mint
turquoise, the 234 304-4 is unquestionably more noticeable.
Note: Please ask about free
installation of sound decoder to provide realistic sounds
(horns, whistle, air compressor, station announcements, etc.).
