Roco 5110004 H0 digital starter set with BR 211 und Kranzug, DB, Ep.IV, z21start

Roco 5110004 H0 Digital starter set with BR 211 and crane train, DB, Ep. IV - The perfect introduction to the world of digital model railroading

The Roco 5110004 H0 digital starter set offers everything a model railroader needs for a successful entry into the digital world. The set consists of a class 211 diesel locomotive from the German Federal Railroad (DB) in Era IV and a crane train that can be used for a variety of shunting and construction tasks. The heart of this set is the z21 start control center which, together with the Z21 multiMAUS, enables simple and modern control of the entire system. With this set, you not only get a functioning crane train on your layout, but also the latest digital technology, which makes operation on your model railway layout flexible and convenient.

The class 211 diesel locomotive was a popular locomotive of the German Federal Railroad that was used on non-electrified lines in the 1960s and 1970s. In this set, it is equipped with a crane train consisting of a rotating crane superstructure, a guard car and a crew car. This combination makes the set a versatile work train that can provide realistic operations on any H0 layout. The set is supplemented by a ROCO LINE track oval with ballast so that you can start building and operating it straight away.

Prototype and use of the BR 211 with crane train

The BR 211, a variant of the V 100 series, was used by the German Federal Railroad primarily on branch lines and in shunting service. With its solid construction and reliable drive, it was the ideal locomotive for mixed traffic on non-electrified lines. In combination with a crane train, as included in this set, the class 211 also took on special tasks in track construction and maintenance work. The crane train consists of a rotating crane with a movable crane boom, a protective car for safe transportation and a crew car in which the workers were housed. These work trains were essential for the operation and maintenance of the railroad lines in Germany.

The model of the class 211 and the crane train in this set reflects the typical use of such trains in Era IV. The class 211 diesel locomotive is equipped with a 5-pole motor that ensures smooth running characteristics, while the crane train offers additional realism with its movable and rotatable crane function. This combination makes the set not only visually appealing, but also technically versatile for use on your model railway layout.

Modern digital technology with the z21 start control center

A highlight of the Roco 5110004 digital set is the z21 start control center, which is supplied together with the Z21 multiMAUS. This digital control system enables simple and precise operation of your model railway layout. With the Z21 multiMAUS you can control not only the locomotive, but also the entire crane train, including the lighting and the movements of the crane. The Z21 start has a modular design and can be extended with a WLAN router and an activation code, so that control via smartphone, tablet or computer is also possible.

This system offers model railroaders a wide range of control options, from simple operation via the multiMAUS to software-supported control with the Z21 app. The z21 start is ideal for beginners who want to build their first digital model railway layout, while at the same time offering sufficient functions and expansion options for advanced users. The enclosed ROCO LINE track oval with bedding consists of 12 curved tracks R2, 9 straight tracks G1, 1 straight track G½ and a connecting track and enables a layout with a footprint of 215 x 100 cm.

Technical details and functions of the Roco 5110004 starter set

The Roco 5110004 BR 211 is equipped with a 5-pole motor that ensures smooth and powerful driving characteristics. With 3 headlights and 2 red marker lights that change depending on the direction of travel, the locomotive is optimally equipped for operation on a modern model railroad layout. The LED headlights provide maintenance-free and long-lasting lighting. The crane train consists of a rotating crane superstructure that can rotate 360 degrees and a movable crane boom that provides realistic scenes on the layout. The crew wagon is equipped with an interior, which makes the model even more detailed.

The locomotive has a PluX22 electrical interface so that it can be operated digitally without any problems. A flywheel motor ensures smooth running characteristics, even at low speeds. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 494 mm, the set is large enough to be used on medium to large H0 layouts, and the minimum radius is 358 mm, so that even tight curves can be mastered without any problems.

Conclusion: The ideal introduction to the world of digital model railroading

The Roco 5110004 H0 Digital Starter Set is the perfect choice for model railroaders who want to get started with digital control.
