LGB RüBB Steam Loco 53 Mh Ep. VI

The LGB RüBB Steam Loco 53 Mh Ep. VI (HC-L28006) is a highly detailed model of the narrow gauge 53 Mh locomotive as currently operated by the Pressnitz Valley Railroad on the Isle of Rügen and on other Saxon narrow gauge lines. Finished in accurate Era VI paintwork and lettering, this locomotive blends robust engineering with fine detailing for realistic operation and display.

At its core is a powerful motor with traction tyres for confident performance. An integrated mfx/DCC decoder unlocks a host of light and sound functions, including directionally switching headlights, evocative running sounds and a clear whistle. Atmospheric lighting extends to the firebox and cab, enhancing realism in low light. A built-in smoke generator provides steam exhaust and cylinder steam that is synchronised with the wheel rotation, bringing the 53 Mh to life on your layout.

Thoughtful detailing includes many separately applied parts, plus opening cab doors and a smoke box door. The model measures 36 cm (14-3/16") over the buffers, making a striking centrepiece for a narrow gauge-themed railway.
