The Märklin 39354 is a special edition of the Deutsche Bahn AG BR 152 in HO scale, part of the Sonderedition Technologie series. It features a digital decoder, C-Sinus motor and sound module with air horn signal, all in a 22.5 cm model with two powered axles and four traction tyres. A solid choice for anyone looking for a German Epoch V electric locomotive with full digital functions right out of the box.
C-Sinus motor and integrated digital functions
The Märklin C-Sinus motor delivers smooth, controlled running particularly noticeable during shunting and slow starts. The digital decoder allows direction-dependent switching of the double headlights, activation of the air horn sound module and use of shunting mode without start-up or braking delay. Compatibility with the Central Unit 6021 extends integration options for existing digital layouts.
Cab detail and exterior finish
The 39354 features cabs with interior fittings, applied handrails, applied snowploughs and head signals switchable in both conventional and digital mode. At HO scale, these elements give the locomotive a coherent visual presence on the track no additions needed to make it convincing on the layout.
On the layout, leading an Epoch V consist
At 22.5 cm long, the BR 152 commands the head of a train with authority. Whether leading a freight consist or working a classification yard, this DB AG electric locomotive brings visual continuity and period coherence that sits naturally alongside typical German Epoch V rolling stock. The Technologie special edition sets it apart within the series, making it equally appealing to collectors following Märklin's reference releases.
