With the Roco 5110002 z21 Start digital set, Roco offers a comprehensive starter set for the world of digital model railroading. The set contains everything required for immediate operation: a robust class 132 diesel locomotive from the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era IV and three matching tank wagons. In addition, there is the powerful z21 start control center and the z21 multiMaus, which enable precise control. This set is ideal for anyone who wants to get into digital model railroad technology and at the same time enjoy an appealing and realistic train appearance.

The prototype: Class 132 diesel locomotive and the tank car train of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 132 diesel locomotive was used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR in the 1970s and is known for its reliability and versatility. With its characteristic shape and powerful engine, the class 132 was particularly suitable for freight traffic, but also for use on longer routes. The tank car train included in the set is a classic choice for Era IV, when the transportation of liquid and hazardous goods was particularly important in rail traffic.

In combination with the class 132, the result is an authentic and harmonious train appearance that brings the atmosphere of Era IV to the model railroad layout. The locomotive and cars are painted in the typical colors of the German State Railroad and complement each other to create an impressive freight train that will be an eye-catcher on any layout.

Extensive track set for flexible track layout

The set includes an extensive track set that is perfect for building a small circular route. The 12 curved tracks (R2) form two semi-circles which, together with the 9 straight tracks (G1), enable a versatile track layout. The connecting track and the short G1/2 track ensure a seamless connection and power supply. The track layout can be extended at any time so that the set can be flexibly expanded and individually adapted.

• 12 curved tracks (R2): Create a stable and even circuit.
• 9 straight tracks (G1): Provide an extension of the track for a more varied layout.
• 1 siding (G1/2): Connects the track to the z21 start control center and provides the necessary power supply.

Modern control with the z21 start control center and z21 multiMaus

The heart of the set is the z21 start central control unit, which enables uncomplicated control of the entire system. Together with the z21 multiMaus, the speed and direction of the train can be precisely controlled. The intuitive operation of the multiMaus makes it easy for beginners to use the digital control system, while still offering numerous functions for demanding model railroaders. With the optional extension of the Roco 10814 WLAN package, the layout can even be conveniently controlled via smartphone or tablet.

Perfect basis for starting and expanding the layout

The Roco z21 Start digital set is more than just a starter set - it is the basis for an expandable model railway layout. The z21 start control center and the multiMaus are designed for future expansions so that you can easily expand the layout and add further digital functions. The track set can be flexibly extended so that the layout can be adapted to your wishes and requirements. This set therefore not only offers the ideal starting point, but also numerous options for expanding and customizing your model railway world.
