39583 Class 181.2 Electric Locomotive (H0)

Pushing boundaries, building a joint Europe: The class 181.2 dual system locomotives ran to Luxem- bourg and France starting in 1974 pulling famous trains such as the "Mozart", the TEE "Goethe", or the overnight sleeping car train Moscow – Paris. For decades the class 181.2 pulled passenger and freight cars from every corner of Europe and changed current systems easily but reliably: At the border the locomotive engineer lowered the German pantograph, overcame with momentum a section of catenary without current, and then raised the French pantograph. The elegant, low locomotive body resulted moreover from the lower mounting of the French catenary. The fascina- ting class 181.2 has written European history – and will continue it on many Märklin layouts: as a truly endlessly interesting model.

The German Federal Railroad (DB) class 181.2 electric locomotive is presented in a steel blue basic paint scheme. It is identified by the road number 181 203-1. The locomotive retains its original appearance, which was established in 1984.

The locomotive is equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder and features extensive sound functions. It is powered by a controlled, high-efficiency propulsion system with a centrally mounted flywheel. All four axles are driven using cardan shafts, and traction tires provide additional grip. The locomotive is equipped with triple headlights and dual red marker lights that change according to the direction of travel. These lights can be controlled digitally and also function in conventional operation. In digital mode, the lights at Locomotive End 2 and 1 can be individually turned off. The cab lighting adjusts based on the direction of travel, while the engine room lighting can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are utilized for the lighting system. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally. The model also features separately applied imitation wheels, grab irons, windshield wipers, UIC sockets, and roof conductors. The buffer height complies with NEM standards. Brake lines, prototype couplers, and various plugs are included as separate parts for optional installation. The length of the locomotive over the buffers is approximately 20.6 cm / 8-1/8".

Highlights:

  • Completely new tooling.
  • Intricate metal construction with many separately applied details.
  • Pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally.
  • The pantographs are prototypically equipped with different contact strips.
  • Cab lighting and engine room lighting can be controlled digitally.
  • Separately applied imitation wheels.
  • mfx+ decoder includes extensive light and sound functions.
  • Buffer height adheres to the NEM.
