The ESU model of the DB class V60 is completely new! Chassis, body, engine, gearbox, central pickup including holder, smoke generator, lighting, digital clutch, speaker and all details have been developed from scratch. Headlight inserts are vertically engraved to match the appearance of the DB standard lanterns. Switching from AC (as supplied) to DC mode is accomplished by pulling off the center pickup and activating a small slide switch just in front of the front axle. The digitally remote-controlled electromagnetic coupler (shunting coupler) plugs into the standard coupler shaft according to NEM 362. The mounting height of the coupler can be adjusted in two steps. If necessary, it can be removed without soldering and replaced with another (non-digital) coupler. The newly designed smoke generator delivers a larger amount of exhaust. Of course, the LokSound 5 decoder is completely new. Smooth running characteristics and a number of convenient functions and possible settings provide plenty of options for the control-oriented model train enthusiast. There is a “heavy train” function in which the acceleration and braking times are doubled and the motor operates acoustically at higher speeds. When activating the “locomotive brake,” the locomotive idles and slows down slightly faster than normal – to a stop if necessary. This function works independently of the throttle position. In shunting mode, the locomotive accelerates and decelerates faster than in normal mode.
