Marklin 37907 - Diesel Locomotive BR 290
Prototype: German Railroad, Inc. (DB Cargo) class 290 heavy switch engine. Ocean blue / beige basic paint scheme. Original version, without railings on the sides. The locomotive looks as it did at the end of the Eighties.
Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion, centrally mounted. 4 axles powered through cardan shafts. Traction tires. The triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The headlights at Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. When the headlights are turned off at both ends, then the double "A" light is functioning. The headlights are maintenance-free warm white LEDs. The engineer's cab details are shown in relief. The locomotive has separately applied metal grab irons and hand rails. Add-on steps to the engineer's cab can be installed on the locomotive for larger radius curves.
Length over the buffers 16.4 cm / 6-7/16".
