Description

To be sure, the DB introduced the controversial Orient red paint scheme as early as 1987, and yet it took until March of 1990, before a class 151 unit appeared in this paint scheme. The first locomotive in Orient red with a light gray contrasting bib on the ends was then road number 151 021. As before, all of the class 151 units were based at Hagen and Nürnberg and they ran mostly in heavy freight train service but also occasionally pulling passenger trains.

Prototype: German Railroad, Inc. (DB AG) class 151 heavy freight locomotive. Orient red paint scheme. Road number 151 028-8. The locomotive looks as it did in Era V around 1994.

Model: The locomotive is completely new tooling. The running gear with the main frame and locomotive body are constructed of die-cast zinc. The locomotive has many separately applied parts of centrifugally cast brass. It also has an mfx digital decoder with up to 32 functions, a built-in buffer capacitor with adjustable parameters, controlled high efficiency propulsion, and extensive sound functions such as running sounds, vent blowers, locomotive whistle, other announcements, and warnings. The locomotive can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. It has powerful motors with propulsion to all axles. The current buffers have adjustable parameters. There are pantographs that can be raised and lowered with servomotors in digital operation. The white and red LED headlights / marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The engine room lighting can be controlled. There is white LED lighting in the cabs that changes over with the direction of travel as well as approaching train lamps, which change over with the direction of travel.
The cab doors can be opened, there are interior details, and one cab has a figure of a locomotive engineer. There is also engineer control desk lighting. The locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied parts such as signs, windshield wipers, whistle, and much more. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The locomotive has a factory-installed, remote controlled Telex coupler on the rear and a prototype coupler on the front. Each of the couplers can be replaced by the other type of coupler (included with the locomotive).
Minimum radius for operation is 1,020 mm / 40-3/16".
Length over the buffers 60.9 cm / 24".
