A Masterpiece of Model Railway Engineering: The Roco NightJet Black Edition

The Roco 5510005 NightJet Black Edition is a feat of model railway technology, designed for discerning collectors and model railway enthusiasts. With its sleek Black Edition color scheme, this limited-edition model is capped at 150 units for DCC and 50 units for AC, each equipped with individual decoders and lighting boards that allow for customized lighting control in each car. This exclusive feature, combined with meticulous detailing, sets this model apart as a unique item within the world of model railroading.

Advanced Technical Features and Digital Functions

The technical features of the Roco NightJet Set make it a standout, creating an engaging and realistic night train experience on any layout:

• Individual Decoders in Each Car: Every one of the seven cars has its own decoder, allowing precise control of each car’s lighting. This configuration supports unique lighting effects, such as corridor and compartment lighting, and enables customization of destination display lighting.
• Realistic Lighting System: Equipped with a total of 285 LEDs across 77 auxiliary outputs, the set offers a highly detailed and realistic lighting experience. The headlights, tail lights, driver’s cab lighting, and compartment lights can be controlled independently, creating an authentic night train atmosphere.
• Randomized Lighting Effects: To simulate real-life passenger activity, a special random mode controls the lighting within compartments, mimicking the effect of passengers turning their lights on and off throughout the night, adding liveliness to the scene.
• Switchable Light Colors: Interior lighting can be switched between warm white and cool white tones, enabling the simulation of day and night environments, and enhancing the ambiance according to the time of day depicted on the layout.
• RailCom-Enabled: Each car is equipped with a RailCom transmitter, which facilitates easy programming and configuration on the main track for enhanced user convenience.

Detailed Interior and Authentic Design

In addition to its digital capabilities, the Roco NightJet Set impresses with its high level of craftsmanship in interior design and overall aesthetic. The set includes seven cars: an end sleeping car (WLAmz), a regular sleeping car (WLAmz), three couchette cars (Bcmz), a multifunction car (ABbmpvz), and a control car (Bfmpz). Each car is meticulously crafted with authentic interiors, including accurately replicated sleeping compartments with partitioned spaces. These finely detailed cars deliver a faithful representation of the ÖBB NightJet’s real-life luxury and comfort.

The Black Edition boasts an elegant, minimalist design that enhances its visual appeal on any layout. The connecting lines between cars are faithfully rendered, adding to the model’s realism. The cars are also equipped with durable, close-coupling mechanisms and NEM 362 standard couplers with kinematics, ensuring stable connections and smooth operation between cars during movement.

Innovative Lighting for a True Night Train Experience

The lighting system of the NightJet Set is a remarkable feature that brings the night train experience to life. A total of 285 LEDs are distributed across the set, providing varied lighting effects that are controlled by individual decoders in each car. The lighting boards are equipped with capacitors and charging circuits to ensure consistent, steady lighting. Through the random mode, realistic lighting effects are created, imitating passengers switching lights on and off in their compartments, adding a vibrant atmosphere to the layout.

The adjustable lighting color offers further realism, allowing users to select between warm and cool lighting to simulate different times of day or moods. Whether recreating an evening scene or a nighttime journey, the NightJet cars adapt to the layout’s setting, enhancing the visual appeal and creating an immersive scene.
