Information about the Prototype
The German Railroad began several years ago to search for a suitable replacement for the class 218 diesel locomotives that had been greatly burdened for almost four decades. The new locomotives had to be in a position to haul medium heavy regional passenger and freight trains without problem. The DB was finally successful with Bombardier, which was offering the class 246 single-motor diesel locomotive class developed from the Tax family. This diesel electric unit had turned in excellent results for several years pulling Metronome bi-level trains between Hamburg and Cuxhaven. New exhaust regulations made it difficult to build any more of the class 246. Bombardier therefore hit upon another path. Instead of a large diesel motor, that still had to be modified for the exhaust regulations, the just 19 meter / 62 feet 4 inches long and 83 ton locomotives were equipped with four individual, smaller diesel motors that met the new EU exhaust regulations Stage III B.
Safety Notes
- This locomotive is to be used only with an operating system designed for it (Marlin AC, Marlin Delta, Marlin Digital or DCC).
- Use only switched mode power supply units and transformers that are designed for your local power system.
- This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one transformer.
- Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating system.
- The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference with radio and television reception, when the locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The 74046 interference suppression set is to be used for this purpose.
- Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme changes in temperature, or high humidity.
- WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
- The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 according to Standard EN 60825-1.

Functions
-
Recognition of the mode of operation: automatic.
-
Mfx technology for the Mobile Station / Central Station.
Name set at the factory: DB AG 245 006 -
Address set at the factory: MM 24 / DCC 03
-
Setting the locomotive parameters (address, acceleration/braking delay (ABV), maximum speed): with the Control Unit, Mobile Station, Central Station.
-
Headlights, changing over with the direction of travel.
-
Only the train control functions and headlight changeover feature are available in analog operation.
-
Various controllable functions.
Note:
The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in descending order is:
- Priority 1: mfx
- Priority 2: DCC
- Priority 3: MM
If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest value digital protocol. For example, if mfx & MM are recognized, the mfx digital protocol is taken on by the decoder. Individual protocols can be deactivated with Parameter CV 50.
