A Powerful Presence!
As the first model in 1 Gauge, the DB's showpiece is being equipped with the new more powerful Märklin large railroad decoder. With up to 32 functions, a current buffer, and excellent sound, this class 103 represents a new milestone in precision and operating enjoyment.
Model: In many details, this is a redesigned model. The locomotive's frame and the side frames on the trucks are constructed of metal. The body is prototypically divided into parts and is constructed chiefly of metal. The locomotive has a newly developed mfx digital decoder with 32 functions, fine motor control, and a current buffer. The locomotive can be operated with AC power, DC power, and Märklin Digital. The locomotive has a powerful motor, centrally mounted. All of the axles in both trucks are powered through cardan shafts. Digitally controlled Telex couplers are mounted on both ends. They can be replaced by prototype couplers included with the locomotive. The double-arm pantographs can be raised and lowered with servomotors in digital operation. The white headlights and red marker lights are LEDs. They will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The locomotive has white LEDs to light up the engineer's cab at the front of the locomotive (depending on the direction of travel) and the engine room. The engineer's cab doors can be opened, the locomotive has interior details, and there is a figure of an engineer in cab 1. The grab irons are metal and there are many other separately applied details: windshield wipers, antenna, whistle, headlight bezels, and much more. The roof equipment is detailed with double-arm pantographs. The side frames on the trucks have been improved with many other separately applied details such as sand pipes and lines. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The Märklin couplers can be replaced by closed end skirting and prototype couplers. The locomotive has many sound functions such as multi-stop announcements, various dialogs including announcements.
The minimum radius for operation 1,020 mm / 40-3/8".
Length over the buffers 60.9 cm / 24".
