ESU Removes “Pullman” Line RhB ABe 4/4 III & DFB Plattformwagen from Website

While ESU is mainly known for its “LokSound” DCC decoders and other electronics products, they also have the “Engineering Edition” line of products that brings high fidelity locomotives to the H0 scale market.

In G scale, ESU released some products in the past under the “Pullman” line. Previous Pullman releases include the RhB ABe 4/4 III EMU, the RhB Tm 2/2 switcher, and a set of hopper cars for the RhB/MGB/FO.

Unfortunately, in the last years, ESU kept postponing the release date of a new batch of the ABe 4/4 III & Tm 2/2. Basically every quarter that passed, the expected delivery date got pushed back by another quarter.

ESU has now completely removed the ABe 4/4 III and DFB Plattformwagen from their website.

ESU Announces New Handheld DCC Controller “Mobile Control Pro”

ESU has announced a new version of their handheld DCC controller called “Mobile Control Pro”. It’s the successor to the “Mobile Control II” which is not available on ESU’s website anymore.

The “Mobile Control Pro” can be paired to ESU’s own ECoS and CabControl DCC systems, yet it can also be used together with the Märklin CS3 digital system or the Roco Z21 DCC system. The communication happens over WLAN, and you have the option to use the Mobil Control Pro with your own network, or with a separate WLAN adapter.
