BR 50 locomotive with tender

BR 50 - the role model

The class 50 standard locomotive was one of the most successful steam locomotive designs; Obermeyer counted it among the "most successful designs" of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Strong, reliable and, thanks to the low axle load, also suitable for use on branch lines. It was not until the end of the 1970s that the last of the more than 3,100 locomotives built by DB were taken out of service.

BR 50 - the model

This locomotive model also impresses with its rich equipment and - like all Lenz locomotives - with its detailed representation true to the original. Equipment of the BR 50 in addition to the standard equipment:

Decoder with USP and energy storage as well as numerous functions and sound already integrated
Prototypical locomotive-tender distance.
Noiseless motor control enables smooth, jerk-free running and particularly good low-speed characteristics
The speed of the motor is determined by an angular magnetic sensor mounted on the motor shaft
The lamps are equipped with maintenance-free LEDs
In digital mode, the front and rear headlights can be switched on and off separately, the brightness can be set separately from other lights
The driver's cab lighting can be switched separately from the top light, the brightness can be set separately from other lighting
The shunting gear reduces the speed of the locomotive by approx. half, so shunting movements can be carried out with particular precision; shunting light means that both the front and rear (white) lamps are switched on regardless of the direction of travel

The Lenz locomotive tender coupling

With this coupling mimic, the R1 radius (914 mm) can also be travelled with a prototypical distance between the locomotive and tender.This Video (using the example of the BR 50) shows how the locomotive and tender are connected and disconnected.

Equipment for all Lenz 0-gauge locomotives and traction units:

All 0-gauge locomotives from Lenz set standards in terms of equipment, functionality and fidelity to the original:

Mixed metal/plastic construction
High-performance motor
Flange height less than 1.2 mm
