Metal model with a high-performance motor, smoke generator, cylinder steam, automatic couplings, constant light, light change depending on the direction of travel, spring buffers, metal wheel sets, wheel flange height less than 1.2 mm, automatic detection of Lenz-Digital (DCC) or conventional direct current operation (analog), lamps are equipped with maintenance-free LEDs.
When operating with Lenz-Digital, the following functions are also available: load control with particularly good slow-speed characteristics, adjustable acceleration and braking delay, USP - uninterrupted signal processing, ABC - automatic brake control, RailCom - bidirectional communication, remote-controlled coupling, remote-controlled original sound, separately switchable headlights at the front and rear, switchable driver's cab lighting that can be switched separately from the headlight, switchable rear light. The shunting gear reduces the speed of the locomotive by about half, so shunting movements can be carried out particularly sensitively; shunting light means that both the front and rear (white) lamps are switched on regardless of the direction of travel.
Prototype: The 86 series is a standard freight train locomotive, they were initially used on branch lines in the flatlands, and after the Second World War also in low mountain ranges. Apart from Krauss-Maffei, all of the major locomotive factories were involved in the construction of the 774 machines. The last 86 machines were decommissioned by the DB in 1974.

Lenz has been active in the field of model railways for over 30 years. Many of the technologies for model railway control that are taken for granted today are developments from the house of Lenz. The so-called DCC format for the digital control of model railways of all sizes is used worldwide and is thus the most widely used control system of all, declared a standard by the NMRA in 1993.
But even before the development of this digital control system, Lenz had already set milestones for the model railway enthusiast, for example with the "REPA Lok-Aus" and the legendary "Teichmann controller". Lenz is constantly working on making the occupation with model railways more interesting, more varied, but also easier: USP ensures uninterrupted data transmission into the decoder even when power is interrupted from the track, ABC ensures pinpoint stops in front of signals, RailCom delivers information from the locomotive back to the digital system.
Lenz's entry into 0 gauge has not only been well received by "veteran" zero gauge enthusiasts, but has also inspired numerous model railway enthusiasts to enter/with this great gauge. Lenz is continuously expanding its programme here as well, but still attaches great importance to the greatest possible faithfulness to the prototype, exceptional technology and high quality standards.
