Tender locomotive BR 24 040, DRG, Era 2, Rbd Regensburg Bw Plattling, small Wagner smoke deflectors, 3 headlights, tender 3T16

BR 24 - Prototype

The Class 24, built from 1928 to 1940, was largely identical to the tank locomotive Class 64. Boilers, cylinders, engines, wheelsets and many other parts were exchangeable. The two-cylinder superheated steam engine with Heusinger control drove the second coupled wheelset. On the flat, the machines could haul a 350-ton train at 90 km/h. Originally, all locomotives had Wagner wind deflectors, but at DB they were replaced by Witte wind deflectors on many locomotives.

BR 24 - the model

The model is the same as the prototype; many parts are identical. That's why we're relaunching the popular BR 24 after the BR64. And for the first time also in two interesting variants that we have not yet offered. The DB variant with the small Witte wind deflectors and the maverick 24 061, which the Göttingen testing institute equipped with a 2'2'T26 tender, which could store almost twice as much water and also allowed reversing at 80 km/h due to its rear wall of the driver's cab.
This locomotive model also impresses with its rich equipment and - like all Lenz locomotives - with the detailed representation true to the original. Equipment of the BR 24 in addition to the standard equipment:

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

The new editions

The models are equipped with the Lenz-e.motion drive with the angle magnetic sensor mounted on the motor axle for motor control. In addition, the new models will have a smoke generator with wheel-synchronous smoke output.
