Electric Locomotive Road Number E 03 002
With a raised, continuous decorative strip including delicate engravings – a striking detail of the prototype. Naturally, it is implemented on the Club Model! Prototypically replicated signs for the DB “Keks” logo, road number, and technical inscriptions ensure exceptional authenticity. The engineer's cab number features finely engraved numerals that match the prototype. The prototypically designed cab rear wall will delight model railroad fans. A detailed, reseda-green control desk with precisely printed controls. The 2-spoke master controller – just like the original. A reproduction of the historic special trains that ran during the 1965 International Transport Exhibition in Munich – including two locomotive engineers for operation at speeds of 200 km/h / 124 mph. An authentic and highly detailed Insider model that lets you experience what is probably the most attractive version of the legendary class E 03 loco.
