Electric locomotive BR E18 DB Ep.III

New in 2023: BR E 18 electric locomotive in the DB version in Epoch III. The model faithfully reproduces all the details of the original in a scale of 1:160. What should be highlighted are the prototypical roof equipment, the pantographs typical of DB locomotives and the finest insulators. All roof cables were made of metal. The fine wheel sets with spring pot replicas are an absolute novelty on a scale of 1:160. The lamps appear in a prototypical shape and size. The powerful engine with two large flywheels ensures that heavy express trains can be transported easily in the model by driving four axles. In addition, two wheels in a diagonal arrangement were fitted with traction tires.
