Model: O gauge DC. Diesel locomotive BR 216 133-9 of the DB, BD Frankfurt Bw Gießen. Decoder with energy storage and numerous functions, mixed construction metal / plastic, high-performance motor, flange height less than 1.2 mm, spring buffers, metal wheel sets, constant light, direction-dependent light changes, driver's cab with lighting, ABC, USP, RailCom, digital / analog recognition, sound, interior fittings, 4 driven axles.

Prototype: After the successful V 200, a single-engine diesel locomotive was planned in the mid-1950s, which was to replace the still numerous steam locomotives of the 03, 23, 38 and 50 series on non-electrified routes. The nine pre-series models manufactured by Krupp still had a rounded face (which earned the locomotive the nickname Lollo), which was replaced in series production by the angular, simpler and more cost-effective form. The V 160 was powered by a 1,900 hp 16-cylinder from Mercdes-Benz or Maybach. From 1964 the V 160 built by Krupp, Henschel, KHD, Krauss-Maffei and MaK did their job.
With more than 800 units, the V 160 series is one of the most frequently used line diesel locomotives in the DB. The V 160 family includes, among other things, the series 215 to 219, 225 and 226. They were used in simple branch line and regional transport as well as in front of freight trains, express trains and intercity trains. The 218 series is the latest development in the V 160 family. It has an electric train heater and a 2500 to 2800 hp engine, which made the auxiliary diesel of the heating generator superfluous. Train heating and push-pull train control ultimately made the 218 a universal locomotive for passenger and freight train services, some of which is still in use today.

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.
