Catalogue information
Version: AC version with multi-protocol locomotive decoder with speed control (digital) and front and rear lights that change direction; minimum radius 35.8 cm. Example: in 1954, the Dutch Railways 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" (equipment 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 train sets were delivered. These were mainly used in InterCity services. Note: The Hondekop model stands out because of the exact imitation of the characteristic head shape and the correct representation of the inscriptions 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, so you can easily plug in a digital decoder, and a 5-pin current-carrying close coupling between the carriages.
