DB CL 118 ELEC LOCO

Marklin 55186 Gauge 1 DB Class E 118 Electric Locomotive \n55186 – Class 118 Electric Locomotive In 1975/76, three of the class 118 were given the new paint scheme of ocean blue / ivory as an experiment, among them road number 118 028 based in Würzburg. This mutated the three units to the exotic members of their class. A uniform look with passenger cars of the same color was also desired for these older design locomotives. \n \nPrototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class E 118 in the "Ocean Blue" / "Ivory" paint scheme of Era IV. Express locomotive with type SBS 38 pantographs with a type DBS 54 contact strip and DB standard design lamps. Road number 118 028-0, BD Nürnberg, Bw Würzburg, assigned to Würzburg. \nHighlights \nCompletely new tooling, locomotive constructed of metal. \nHighly detailed model for advanced model railroaders. \nDouble arm pantographs that can be raised and lowered with a servomotor in digital operation. \nDigital remote-controlled Telex couplers front and rear. \nReproduction prototype couplers included. \nModel: The locomotive is completely new tooling. The frame and body are constructed of metal. The locomotive has many separately applied metal parts. It also has an mfx digital decoder, controlled high-efficiency propulsion, and extensive sound functions such as running sounds, locomotive whistle, train radio, and much more. The locomotive can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. It has a centrally mounted powerful motor with all driving axles powered.
