Marklin 55509 Class EG 507 "Technology" Freight Train, Electric Loco, Gauge 1, Metal Frame and Body, with Lights and Sound
The first electric locomotives of the Royal Prussian Railway Administration (KPEV) were once the pride of Prussia on rails and represented milestones in locomotive engineering at the time. These rugged prototypes were designed with uncompromising efficiency for special duties using proven principles from steam loco engineering. However, they used clean, invisible energy without any steam, soot, or coal.
Prototype: Royal Prussian Railroad Administration (KPEV) class EG 507 light freight train electric locomotive, era I. The class EG 507 and 508 freight locos built in 1913 and 1914 epitomize the Prussian virtues of the KPEV. During the pioneering era of electric train haulage, the company left nothing to chance and therefore ordered test locos for very specific purposes from a variety of companies. Most of them resembled curious giants from another world, also due to their unusual sound. However, like many other locomotive types from the early days of electric train haulage, they laid the foundation for the modern railroads of today.

Model: The model features completely new tooling and has a clear
protective coating. The chassis and main frame are made of die-cast
zinc, and the locomotive body is made of sheet brass. Separately applied
parts are made of centrifugally cast brass. The model has an mfx
digital decoder with 31 functions. It also has a programmable buffer
capacitor. All axles are powered. The loco has extensive sound and light
functions.
It can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC.
A
centrally mounted high-performance motor powers all axles. The motorized
prototypical scissor pantographs can be raised and lowered in digital
operation. The white dual headlights with LEDs change over to red marker
lights and are digitally controllable. The approaching train light is
controllable. The cab has warm-white LED lighting. The control desks are
illuminated. The cab doors can be opened, the cab interior details are
elaborately reproduced, and the cab has a built-in engineer figure. The
locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied
details, such as signs, a whistle, etc. The buffer beams have sprung
buffers and separately applied brake lines. The factory-installed,
remote-controllable Telex coupler fitted at the rear can be replaced
with the screw couplers provided. A prototypical screw coupler is fitted
at the front. A Telex coupler for the front is included with the model.
The minimum radius for operation is 1,020 mm / 40-1/8".
Length over the buffers 31.3 cm / 12-5/16".
Weight approx. 3 kg / 6 lb 9 oz
