Class 350 
H0
Siemens developed four-car electric multiple units known as Class 350 on the Desiro platform. The vehicles, which were purchased from 2004 onwards, have an output of 1500 kW and can be powered either by the direct current rail next to the track or by the 25 kV overhead line. The top speed of the first two series is 180 km/h, while series 3 and 4 are approved for 160 km/h.
F1 will activate the driving sound with the third rail
F2 will activate the driving sound with pantograph

FS E.428 H0
Starting in 1934, the Italian State Railways (FS) purchased a total of 242 E.428s for express train service on the direct-current electrified regional lines. Eight paired motors powered the four driving axles, producing a combined output of 2,800 kW. Two leading bogies reduced the axle load of the 135-ton, 130 km/h locomotives. The three series differ significantly in the driver's cab area. By 1989 the last machines were retired.

Class 450 H0
Siemens developed four-car electric multiple units called Class 450 on the Desiro platform. The vehicles, which were purchased from 2001 onwards, have an output of 1500 kW and draw their operating voltage from the side power rail next to the track. The maximum speed of the 127 vehicles is 160 km/h. The four-car units are used on London's busy suburban routes.
F17 slows down the locomotive slowly. With CV165 = value 0-5 you can switch between different brake squeals.

DB BR420 H0
Since the three-car S-Bahn railcars were introduced for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the ET420 are often referred to as Olympic railcars. With the thyristor cut control, DB was breaking new technical ground at the time. Since the power of 2400 kW was transmitted to all twelve axles, the 420 equipped with a suspension drive showed very good acceleration. The three prototypes were followed by eight series, in which minor changes were incorporated. The last two series had swivel sliding more…
ET423 S-Bahn DB AG, IGBT H0
As successors to the ET423 S-Bahn multiple units, DB AG procured a total of 462 four-car electric multiple units of the 423 series starting in 1998. Unlike their predecessors, which had two bogies per car, the 423 cars were supported by a Jakobs bogie at the transitions. The 2350 kW four-car units reached speeds of 140 km/h. The first 190 units were equipped with GTO converters, which were housed in a separate container under the vehicle floor. The 423s are used in the Rhine-Main, Cologne, more…

SBB Re450 H0
The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) commissioned the Re 450 series to be developed for use with double-decker trains on the Zurich S-Bahn network. Technically, the locomotive is based on the KTU converter-type Re 4/4 locomotive developed for several private railways. Unlike these, the S-Bahn locomotive has only one driver's cab and no conventional buffers or drawbars, but instead features automatic couplers. The 115 four-axle, 3000 kW locomotives, purchased in several series, reach a top speed of more…
ET403 DB H0
In 1973, the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB received three electric multiple units for inter-city express transport. All 16 axles of the four-part vehicle were powered. As was usual at the time, the trains only had first class places. Due to the small number of units, various assemblies from the already proven ET 420 S-Bahn multiple unit were installed, which enabled a reasonably secure stock of spare parts for wearing parts. The output was 3840 kW, the maximum speed in passenger operation was 200 more…
SNCB/NMBS HLE 27 H0
Between 1984 and 1987, the Belgian State Railways SNCB/NMBS purchased 60 samples of the HLE 27 electric multi-purpose locomotive for the 3kV DC net. The four-axle locomotives produce 4380 kW and reach a top speed of 160 km/h and initially hauled almost exclusively inter-city trains. As part of a social project, locomotive 2711 broke the world record for the longest passenger train in the world at the time in 1991 with 70 passenger cars. In 2006, all locomotives were equipped with push-pull more…
BR 151 H0
BR 151 For around 40 years the Class BR 151 represented the most important type for traction of fast and heavy freight trains for the State Railway of Federal Republic of Germany (DB). At the time of origin in the early 1970s the six axle loco were faster then any more more…
