Description

Expert+ FS D.445 XMPR Diesel Locomotive VI (~AC-Sound)

Back in the 1970s, Italy's railway engineers took a proven winner—the rugged D.443 diesel locomotive—and turbocharged it for the modern age. The resulting D.445 preserved its predecessor's workhorse reliability while introducing a clever innovation: an onboard 2,800V power plant to directly heat passenger carriages. No more cumbersome generator wagons getting in the way. Just set the thermostat and let this muscular engine do the hard work, freeing you to sit back and enjoy a toasty journey through the Italian countryside. Over time, subtle tweaks like flat windscreens further optimized the design for cost and durability. But under the hood, the D.445 remained a tireless beast of burden charged with ferrying Italy's people and products across the rails. It's proof that the classics only get better with age.
