Minitrix 16496 N Gauge Electric Locomotive Br 151 111-2 DB Epoch IV Sound 1160
N scale model railway, scale 1:160: Minitrix 16496. Lighting with warm white LEDs. Peak signal can be switched off. Product description Model: The locomotive has a built-in digital decoder and sound generator for operation with mfx and DCC. Engine with flywheel, 4 axles powered, traction tires. Headlights and taillights that change with the direction of travel, warm white LEDs, driver's cab lighting, can be controlled digitally. The headlights change over with the direction of travel and will work in analog operation. Length over buffers 122 mm. Could only be achieved by a locomotive with an output of over 5,000 kW, so that a mere revision of the 150 series was ruled out from the outset. Krupp and AEG were responsible for the construction of the 151. In the interest of standardization, the proven traction motors of the 110 and 140 series were used, but completely new methods of insulation and heat dissipation had to be developed to achieve the desired increase in performance. Despite this, the locomotive became so heavy due to the unavoidable new, more powerful main transformer and the reinforced electrical resistance brake that the required wheel set load could only be met by extreme use of lightweight construction technology. According to the latest findings, the driver's cabs were fitted with ergonomic seats and air conditioning.
It was obligatory to equip it with wear buffer planks, which made it possible to attach central buffer couplings without any problems. The tried-and-tested bogies of the 150 were eliminated and new ones made of welded lightweight steel were constructed. The box support and wheel set guidance by lemniscate links could be taken over from the 103 series. The proven rubber ring spring drive was retained.
The traction motor voltage was now controlled by a 29-stage high-voltage switchgear with thyristor load switches. The first was on 21 November 1972 delivered the 151 001.
By 1977, 170 machines had been built at Krupp, Henschel, Krauss-Maffei, AEG, Siemens and BBC, which were initially used throughout Germany and in some cases even in front of passenger trains. Road numbers 151 089-122 had, and in some cases still NOCH an automatic coupler ("Unicupler") and for many years ran mostly in double traction pulling heavy ore trains on the Hamburg - Beddingen (5,700 t), Venlo - Dillingen (5,130 t) and Moers routes - Linz (3,220 t).After only accident-related locomotives had been phased out until 2009, there were large numbers of decommissioning after the economic and financial crisis, so that the number of six-axle locomotives used by the DB in 2019 had shrunk to eight units with automatic couplers. But many 151s have found a new field of activity in recent years with private transport companies such as Bayernbahn (5 units), EGP (6 units), Hector Rail (10 units), HSL (3 units), Lokomotion (4 units). , Saar Rail (2 copies) and SRI (4 copies).
