ESU 31187 — Dampflok, H0, T18, 78 468 Museum, Schwarz, Ep VI, Vorbildzustand um 2018, LokSound, Doppelraucherzeuger, Rangierkupplung, DC/AC

The Prussian T18, later classified as the Class 78, was developed by Vulcan Stettin starting in 1912 to fulfill requirements for a bidirectional tank locomotive capable of reaching 100 km/h. Between 1912 and 1927, 462 units were produced, featuring a symmetrical 2’C2′ (4-6-4) wheel arrangement and a boiler design derived from the G8 class. With a power output of 1140 hp, these locomotives served in passenger and light express roles across the Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn, with the final units remaining in service until the mid-1970s. This specific model represents locomotive 78 468 in its Era VI museum configuration as it appeared around 2018, reflecting its preservation for historical excursion service.

This H0 scale model from ESU is equipped with a digital LokSound decoder and a dual smoke generator for prototypical exhaust effects. The technical specification includes digital shunting couplings and a universal electronics system compatible with both DC and AC layouts via a removable center pick-up slider. The model features a heavy metal chassis and body components to ensure traction, alongside directional LED lighting and detailed cab instrumentation. Prototypical details specific to the 78 468 museum variant are accurately rendered, including the era-appropriate black livery and contemporary railway markings.
