Product Info
Converted to a Tank Locomotive
The prototype is a symbol for the German Federal Railroad's thoughts about reawakening and its willingness to experiment at a time when it was still new. Theoretically well thought out but not feasible practically, the two class 78.10 locomotives remained the only ones of their type.
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) steam locomotive, road number 78 1002, 4-6-4T design with a type 2T17 two-axle short tender. Version with triple headlights as it looked around 1958.
Highlights
- Especially intricate metal construction.
- Many separately applied details.
- Triple headlights.
- Cab lighting controlled digitally.
- Firebox flickering controlled digitally.
- Current-conducting coupler on the tender controlled digitally.
- Factory-installed smoke unit, controlled digitally.
- mfx+ digital decoder and extensive operating and sound functions included.
- Buffer height adheres to the NEM.
Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, in the boiler. 3 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and tender are constructed mostly of metal. The locomotive has a built-in smoke unit that will work in conventional operation and that can be controlled digitally. The triple headlights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. Firebox flickering can be controlled digitally. The cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm LEDs are used for the lighting. The current-conducting coupler on the tender can be controlled digitally. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Piston rod protection sleeves, brake hoses, and reproduction prototype couplers are included. The locomotive also comes from the factory with figures of a locomotive engineer and a fireman. Length over the buffers approximately 19.9 cm / 7-7/8".
The passenger car set to go with this locomotive is offered under item number 43353 exclusively for the MHI.
Standard Design Branch Line Cars
After World War I, the newly founded German State Railroad acquired a large quantity of passenger car types, which as a rule had wooden bodies. Standard design cars with metal bodies were developed to simplify maintenance. These cars also greatly increased safety. The German State Railroad focused on predecessor designs for branch line types and purchased the customary two-axle corridor cars with open platforms. At the start of the Thirties, there was another modernization push with the introduction of closed platforms and welded car bodies. These units remained in service on the DB well into the Sixties, often also as intermediate cars for powered rail cars. A few cars have been preserved – among other things on the Bavarian Local Railroad Association and on the IG 3 Lakes Railroad in the Black Forest.
Prototype: Five German Federal Railroad (DB) passenger cars. One type PwPostie baggage/mail car, one type Abie corridor car, 1st/2nd class, and three type Bie corridor cars, 2nd class. Bottle green paint scheme. The cars look as they did around 1958.
Highlights
- Car floors and parts of the car bodies are new tooling.
- LED interior lighting for the first time.
- Interior lighting includes buffer memory.
- One 2nd class car includes built-in marker lights.
- Current-conducting couplers.
- The interior lighting can be controlled digitally from the 39782 steam locomotive.
Model: All of the cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting and current-conducting couplers. The car consist can be supplied with current from the steam locomotive, road number 78 1002 (item number 39782) using the built-in current-conducting couplers. The interior lighting can be controlled digitally from the locomotive. One 2nd class car has built-in marker lights. Total length over the buffers approximately 75 cm / 29-1/2".
The steam locomotive to go with this car set is offered under item number 39782 exclusively for the MHI.
