Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 94.5-17 steam tank locomotive. Road number 94 1232, Bw Mannheim, assigned to Mannheim.

Model: The locomotive is new tooling and the frame and body with boiler, and the tender are constructed of die-cast zinc. Other applied parts are mostly constructed of metal. This is a highly detailed model with many separately applied details and a prototypically detailed cab. The locomotive has a cab with a ventilation installation, riveted water tanks, a coalbunker with smooth welded add-on sides. The smoke box door does not have a central locking device and can be opened. There is a reproduction of the equipment on the smoke box door. The sand box cover and water tank covers can be opened and the cab doors can be opened. The locomotive has sprung buffers, triple headlights, the lower lights being DRB lamps for electric lighting and the upper light being a DB Reflex glass lamp, and much more. The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder, controlled high-efficiency propulsion, and a sound generator with running sounds synchronized with the motion of the wheels as well as extensive sound functions.

The locomotive can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. All of the driving axles are powered. The locomotive has a built-in smoke generator with chuffing synchronized with the motion of the wheels, multiple step cylinder steam, and a steam whistle. The triple headlights have a light color correct for the era and change over with the direction of travel. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free, warm white LEDs are used for the lighting. The locomotive has sprung buffers, cab lighting, firebox lighting, and running gear lights. The locomotive has newly designed, remote controlled Telex couplers front and rear that can be replaced by the reproduction prototype couplers included with the model. The valve gear switchover is done with a servomotor (forward, reverse, continuous operation). An accessory package with reproduction prototype couplers, smoke fluid, and a figure of a locomotive engineer and a fireman is included with the locomotive. Order yours from ajckids.com.

Minimum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/16".

Length over the buffers 39.5 cm / 15-9/16".
