Product Features and Details
Prototype: In order to avoid labor-intensive steam trains with low ridership, the German State Railroad Company (DRG) was developing four-axle diesel multiple unit, which were delivered in 1928 by the wagon factory Wismar. The queued in the number range 855-871 vehicles have been delivered as a one- or two-class cars. The first green-painted vehicles received in 1932 the elegant two-tone paint in red wine cream. Home to the ESU-model was in Mainz, another car came from Frankfurt / Oder, Guben, Kassel, Stuttgart, Ulm and Waren / Müritz to Einsatz.Ergebnis the considerations to speed up the Eilgüterverkehrs was Leig- Concept (Light express freight). Light-drawn with passenger locomotives trains (up to 12 axles) go to the main towns. Based on the people railcars VT 858-871 the DRG had a freight railcars to entwickeln.Ende of 1930 gave the wagon factory Wismar three 65 km / h fast vehicles. The drive of the set as a VT 10001-003 car was also carried out by a Maybach diesel engine G 4a, which carried 150 hp. For passenger and freight rail cars, the engine via a four-speed manual transmission lent its force to a blind shaft, which was connected by connecting rods to the two axles of a bogie. In the roof structure, the four groups were cooler with four elements. Since coal at the time but was much cheaper than diesel fuel, the railcar could barely play their consumption advantages. Various recordings prove that the possibility of up to three cars (six axles) with a total load of 85 t carry, was used. The range of appendage was large: part painted as a sidecar passenger cars, boxcars or passenger / freight train baggage car are photographically dokumentiert.Obwohl freight railcars listed with only three vehicles to the splinter genres in the DB portfolio, we looked at it only from 1960 to 1962. DB looked for people railcar hardly needs and built only 859 railcars to elaborate and put him as VT 62904-1957. In the DR remained with VT 856 a car, which was founded in 1960 retired.
Model: Driving with the DMUs is thanks to the ESU LokSound V4.0 M4 decoders for enjoyment. This can automatically log on Märklin® and ESU headquarters. The quaint diesel multiple unit moves thanks to the built PowerPack storage capacitor even at the lowest speed and dirty rails absolutely jerk-free. In addition to the realistic Diesel engine sound matching sounds are played when cornering or driving up turnout. Of course, the railcars have a smoke generator which generates synchronous to LokSound the plume. All prototypical lighting functions can be switched in the model. The direction dependent light change can be switched off on the traction end. The Rangierbeleuchtung and up into the fifties valid driving false-peak signal ZG2 can be activated. A cab lighting works also depends on the direction of travel. Also in the passenger or luggage compartment there is a light.
