Product Information

Full details

This N gauge model train is for model railway enthusiasts looking to add a detailed and high-performing steam locomotive to their German DR-era layouts. Its key benefit is the expertly applied details and excellent running characteristics, offering a realistic representation of the BR02 steam locomotive. A minor caveat is its analog DC operation, which may require conversion for advanced digital control systems.

FAQs

What scale is this locomotive model?

This is an N gauge model, which is a 1:160 scale.

Does this locomotive work with DCC?

The model is supplied for Analogue DC operation. It has a Next18 interface, meaning you can install a compatible DCC decoder for digital control.

What is the minimum radius this locomotive can navigate?

The minimum recommended radius for this locomotive is 192mm.

What type of livery does the model have?

It features a DR (Deutsche Reichsbahn) livery in chrome green with a white decor line, representative of Epoch V.

What does 'Fuel Tender' mean for this locomotive?

A fuel tender is a separate car attached to the locomotive, carrying its fuel (like coal or oil) and water, allowing for longer runs without refueling.

How do I clean the model?

Use a soft, dry brush or a specialized model cleaning cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as couplings, may be available from Arnold or specialized model railway hobby shops. Check the manufacturer's website or contact their customer support.

Troubleshooting

Locomotive not moving on DC power

Ensure track is clean and power supply is connected. Check wheel-cleanliness and that no obstructions are present. Verify the DC controller is functioning correctly.

Poor electrical pickup or intermittent running

Clean the metal contact points on the wheels and the track. Ensure the locomotive is seated correctly on the track.

Lights not working or flashing

Check the bulb or LED connections. If operating digitally, check decoder settings and ensure the light function is enabled. For analogue DC, ensure sufficient voltage is applied.

Couplings detached or damaged

Inspect the NEM coupling pocket and hook. Replacement couplings are often available from the manufacturer or specialized hobby stores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This model is designed for analogue DC operation out of the box. Place it on a compatible N scale track (9mm gauge) powered by a DC controller. For digital operation, an appropriate DCC decoder compatible with the Next18 interface will need to be purchased and installed.

Compatibility:

  • Scale: N Gauge (1:160 Scale).
  • Operation: Analogue DC. Compatible with standard DC power packs.
  • Digital: Requires a Next18 DCC decoder for digital command control. Consult your DCC system's manual for installation.
  • Couplings: Features NEM couplings for connection to other N gauge rolling stock.
  • Track Radius: Minimum recommended radius is 192mm.

Care:

  • Keep the model clean from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry brush or a specialized model cleaning cloth.
  • Lubricate moving parts periodically with model-specific lubricant, following manufacturer recommendations.
  • Store the locomotive in its original packaging or a suitable display case to protect it from dust and damage.
