BR 50 - the model

The Class 50 standard locomotive was one of the most successful steam locomotive designs; Obermeyer counts them among the "happiest constructions" of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Strong, reliable and, thanks to the low axle load, can also be used on secondary 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 the faithful detailed representation. Equipment of the BR 01 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 engine 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 axle
• The lamps are equipped with maintenance-free LEDs
• In digital mode, the front and rear headlights can be switched on and off separately, and the brightness can be adjusted separately from other lights
• The driver's cab lighting can be switched separately from the headlight, 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 Lenz locomotive tender coupling

With this coupling mimic, the radius R1 (914 mm) can also be driven on at the prototypical distance between the locomotive and the tender. Watch this video  shows how locomotive and tender are connected and disconnected.

Equipment of all Lenz gauge 0 locomotives and locomotives:

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

• Mixed construction metal/plastic
• High-performance engine
• Flange height less than 1.2 mm.
