Roco 70073 H0 Diesel locomotive 2143 010-3, ÖBB, Ep. IV: Power and versatility in model form

The Roco 70073 H0 diesel locomotive 2143 010-3 is a precisely manufactured model that brings the versatile diesel locomotive of the Austrian Federal Railways from Era IV to life. With detailed replicas, modern technology and its historical significance, this locomotive is a highlight on any model railway layout.

The prototype of the Roco 70073 diesel locomotive 2143

The locomotives of the 2143 series were built between 1964 and 1977 by the Simmering-Graz-Pauker-Werke (SGP) for the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). They were specially designed for use on non-electrified main and branch lines, particularly in eastern Austria. Thanks to their versatility, they were used for both passenger and freight transport. A total of 77 units of this series were delivered, which were characterized by their reliability and flexibility.

Manufacturer quality: Simmering-Graz-Pauker-Werke

Simmering-Graz-Pauker-Werke was regarded as a leader in the manufacture of diesel locomotives for the Austrian market. With the 2143 series, they once again proved their expertise in locomotive construction. The robust machines were designed for use on demanding routes and combined powerful performance with a compact design.

Era IV: Progress and modernity

Era IV (1965-1990) was characterized by strong progress in the field of railroad technology. The introduction of the 2143 series reflects ÖBB's efforts to modernize transport on non-electrified lines. Its characteristic shape and striking paintwork make it one of the best-known diesel locomotives of its time.

Technology and equipment

The Roco 70073 is designed for the H0 scale (scale 1:87) and uses a DC analog current system. The built-in 5-pole motor ensures smooth and even power transmission, while the headlights and marker lights that depend on the direction of travel emphasize the authenticity of the model. The minimum radius of 358 mm enables versatile use on model railway layouts.

Design and attention to detail

The locomotive is painted in the typical color scheme of Era IV and impresses with its free-standing grab irons, some of which are made of metal. These fine details give the model a realistic appearance. The switchable head and tail lighting rounds off the high-quality appearance.

Conclusion: A must for model train fans

The Roco 70073 H0 diesel locomotive 2143 010-3 is an excellent model that combines historical authenticity and modern model-making technology. It is the perfect addition to any H0 layout and impresses with its attention to detail, robustness and versatility. This locomotive is a real highlight for collectors and model train enthusiasts.
