Marklin 55509 1 KPEV Class EG 507 "Technology" Freight Train Electric Locomotive MFX Digital Sound

The first electric locomotives of the Royal Prussian Railway Administration (KPEV) were once the pride of Prussia on rails and represented milestones in locomotive engineering at the time. These rugged prototypes were designed with uncompromising efficiency for special duties using proven principles from steam loco engineering. However, they used clean, invisible energy without any steam, soot, or coal.

Prototype: Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV) class EG 507 light freight train electric locomotive, era I.

Model: The model features completely new tooling and has a clear protective coating. The chassis and main frame are made of die-cast zinc, and the locomotive body is made of sheet brass. Separately applied parts are made of centrifugally cast brass. The model has an mfx digital decoder with 31 functions. It also has a programmable buffer capacitor. All axles are powered. The loco has extensive sound and light functions. It can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. A centrally mounted high-performance motor powers all axles. The motorized prototypical scissor pantographs can be raised and lowered in digital operation. The white dual headlights with LEDs change over to red marker lights and are digitally controllable. The approaching train light is controllable. The cab has warm-white LED lighting. The control desks are illuminated. The cab doors can be opened, the cab interior details are elaborately reproduced, and the cab has a built-in engineer figure. The locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied details, such as signs, a whistle, etc. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The factory-installed, remote-controllable Telex coupler fitted at the rear can be replaced with the screw couplers provided. A prototypical screw coupler is fitted at the front. A Telex coupler for the front is included with the model.
The minimum radius for operation is 1,020 mm / 40-1/8".
Length over the buffers 31.3 cm / 12-5/16". Weight approx. 3 kg / 6 lb 9 oz
