Märklin 36505 H0 DHG 500 V61 OF DB MHI
Modelled after the diesel shunting locomotive of the fictitious series V 61 of the German Federal Railways.After the private and industrial railways were extremely satisfied with the DHG 500 supplied by Henschel in Kassel, the large German Federal Railways also received this. The machines of the series DHG 500 are seen from the drive, considerably more modern than the diesel locomotives of series V 60, which have a rod drive and are driven by means of dummy shaft. Since maintenance is quite personnel- and cost-intensive, the Deutsche Bundesbahn decided to follow the private and industrial railways and to order some of the locomotives which were subsequently run as series V 61 from Henschel.Model: Locomotive with digital decoder and special motor as well as built-in sound electronics. 1 powered axle, traction tyres. Three-light head end signal changes dependent upon the direction of travel operated conventionally, can be switched digitally. Coupling hooks. Length over buffer 11.2 cm.This text is machine translated.
