Catalog description

Novelty 2023: DB class 216 variant with traffic red paint scheme with bib in Era V. In the 1960s and 1970s, the class IV 160 or 216 was the express locomotive for lines without catenary wire on the German Federal Railways. The development team has implemented the striking design of the prototype in outstanding quality in the model and at the same time achieved ideal driving characteristics. These attributes are underlined by the effective use of perfect engravings and a paint scheme that is coherent down to the smallest detail. Contemporary LED technology serves as the basis for the light change in red/white as well as the light functions that can be switched by retrofitting a digital decoder. The digital interface PluX22 according to NEM 658 is state of the art, a decoder can easily be plugged in. The buffer beam of the vehicle can be completed prototypically with the included accessory parts.
