Description

Roco 70324 H0 Class 191 electric locomotive, GTS Rail, Ep. VI, DC sound: State-of-the-art technology for freight traffic

The Roco 70324 H0 Class 191 electric locomotive is a detailed replica of the Vectron DC locomotives from GTS Rail. Equipped with a high-quality digital sound decoder, prototypical lighting functions and a precise design, this model is an absolute highlight for all fans of modern freight locomotives.

The prototype: The Vectron class 191 - efficiency in freight traffic

The Italian railroad company GTS Rail received three Vectron class 191 direct current locomotives from the Siemens factory in Munich-Allach in 2020. The locomotives are characterized by high efficiency and versatility. Each locomotive has an individual name: 191 043 'Penelope', 191 044 'Muvt' (Apulian slang for 'hurry up' or 'move') and 191 045 'Galileo'. These machines are used for national and international freight transport and represent state-of-the-art locomotive technology.

Digital features and technical highlights

The model is equipped with a digital sound decoder that provides authentic operating sounds. In digital operation, the main beam as well as the headlights and marker lights can be switched individually. The cab lighting can also be activated separately, providing a realistic driving experience.

Free-standing grab rails, partly made of metal, and a detailed roof design emphasize the quality of the model. The light change system (red-white) ensures a true-to-life representation, while the LED light sources guarantee maintenance-free lighting.

Color scheme and design

The model impresses with its precise printing and prototypical design in the typical GTS Rail look. The harmonious proportions and intricate details make this locomotive a visual highlight.

Technical details and compatibility

The locomotive is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 218 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, it is suitable for many layout scenarios. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) ensures a simple and reliable connection with other vehicles.

Care and maintenance

The Roco BR 191 is robust and low-maintenance. The LED lighting is long-lasting and energy-saving. The wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly for optimum operating quality. If necessary, moving parts can be easily lubricated.

Conclusion: Modern freight locomotive for your layout

The Roco 70324 H0 electric locomotive class 191 offers advanced digital technology, excellent sound and a prototypical design. It is a perfect addition to model railroad layouts of era VI and ideal for modern freight traffic. With its precise workmanship and numerous functions, it meets the highest demands and brings the atmosphere of international freight trains to your layout.
