Description

Roco 70118 H0 Diesel locomotive V188 002, DB, Ep.III, DC sound: Double diesel power on the Spessart ramp

With the Roco 70118 H0 diesel locomotive V188 002, Roco is bringing an impressive double locomotive to the DC model railway layout - a real highlight for fans of unusual locomotive technology from the German Federal Railroad. Originally designed as type D 311 for the German Wehrmacht, the four locomotives built were used to pull heavy railroad guns. After the end of the war, two units, including the V188 002 a/b, found a new role in the DB's heavy freight and pushing service, particularly on the notorious Spessart ramp.

The V188 002 in its green Era IIIa livery with roof superstructure was a striking representative of the early diesel era. The double locomotive consists of two permanently coupled, fully motorized units and offers a realistic reproduction of the transition area, including a finely detailed engine room. The separately attached plug-in parts, the openwork roof ventilators and the precise reproduction of the frame panels with four sandboxes each are particularly impressive. The four driven axles with flywheel mass and four traction tires ensure a powerful and smooth ride.

In terms of technology, the model features a digital decoder (PluX22) and the "Dynamic Sound" package, which provides a realistic sound experience with rich bass tones. In digital mode, the engine room, driver's cab, control box and driver's desk lighting can be switched individually - all using modern LED technology. The motor-driven fans underline the technical sophistication of this model. The directional lighting with three white headlights and two red tail lights also corresponds to the prototype and gives the model a high degree of authenticity.

The Roco 70118 V188 002 is a real gem for DC fans of Era III, combining history, technology and the art of model making. Ideal for use on demanding freight lines and in scenic layouts with reference to the German Federal Railroad era.
