Catalogue information
Version: this locomotive is equipped with a digital decoder; minimum radius: 35.8 cm Example: In 1954, the Dutch Railways (NS) placed a large order of electric train sets with the Dutch industry (Werkspoor, Beijnes and Allan) due to the rapidly progressing electrification of all main lines. At the NS, these train sets were referred to as "mat 54" (material 54) because of the year of the first order. Due to the striking head shape, they soon received the nickname "Dog's Head". A total of 68 two-part ELD2 train sets have been delivered to the NS. These were mainly used in InterCity services. Note: The model of the Hondekop Plan F "yellow moustache" stands out for the exact imitation of the characteristic head shape and for the correct representation of the lettering and colors. The realistic imitation of the different bogies, the fine detailing and the installed windows complete the overall impression. The model is powered by a powerful engine, which is kept out of sight by the interior design. The motor drives a bogie via a cardan shaft. The front lighting changes from yellow to red with the direction of travel. The model is equipped with a digital 8-pin NEM connection and a 5-pin current-carrying close coupling between the carriages.
