Class E 95 Electric Locomotive

Prototype: German State Railroad Company (DRG) class E 95 heavy freight electric locomotive. Used to pull heavy unit coal trains in the Silesian network. Bluish gray basic paint scheme. The electric locomotive was the largest electric locomotive in Germany for a long time. Locomotive road number E 95 01. The locomotive looks as it did around 1928.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. There are 2 controlled, high-efficiency propulsion units, each with a flywheel, 1 motor in each locomotive half. Both outer drive wheel sets powered in each group of drive wheels. 2 traction tires. Both locomotive halves are permanently coupled together using couplings with guide mechanisms. Dual headlights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. There is also a third headlight mounted above as an oncoming train light, and it can be controlled separately at the front in the direction of travel. There is cab lighting and engine room lighting in each locomotive that can be controlled separately in digital operation. Maintenance-free warm white LEDs are used for the lighting. A buffer capacitor is included. The pantograph on each locomotive half can be raised and lowered separately in digital operation. The highly detailed construction is built mostly of metal and includes many separately applied individual parts. There are close couplers with close coupler mechanisms and NEM pockets at both ends of the locomotive. The buffer height adheres to the NEM. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16″. Brake hoses and prototype coupler imitations are included for mounting on the locomotive. Length over the buffers 24.1 cm / 9-1/2″.
