LGB Steam Loco DR 99 0244-6 Era IV mfx/DCC (HC-L26818)

This LGB HC-L26818 model depicts the German State Railroad (DR) narrow gauge steam locomotive 99 0244-6 in its oil-fired configuration from the Seventies. Finished with prototypical Era IV paint and lettering, it combines authentic detailing with robust performance for large-scale garden and indoor layouts.

Power comes from two strong, ball-bearing motors driving all five wheelsets, delivering smooth, confident running. An integrated mfx/DCC decoder unlocks a rich suite of functions including directionally switching headlights, cab lighting and separately controllable running gear lights. Whistle and bell can be triggered via a reed switch, and these sound features are also available in analogue operation.

A built-in smoke generator provides immersive steam effects, synchronised to the wheel rotation, with additional cylinder steam for added realism. The locomotive body features many separately applied details, a fully detailed cab and opening doors, enhancing display presence and operational authenticity.
