About the model: The 116 006 electric locomotive is in the German Federal Railroad version and is from Era IV. It is 187 mm long (length over buffers) and is equipped with a digital interface. The model is factory equipped with a sound decoder. The locomotive is powered by 4 axles and 1 is equipped with traction tires. All other details about this model can be found under the features.
About the prototype: The class E 16 was the only German locomotive design with Buchli propulsion. After a lengthy bidding period, the Bavarian Group Administration of the German State Railroad ordered first one and then, after an intensive trial period, 16 additional express electric locomotives from BBC in 1923 for its main lines planned for electrification, which were to be given the type designation ES 1. The machines with the wheel arrangement 1'Do1' were moved by a single-axle drive, which had been developed by the Swiss engineer Buchli and worked to satisfaction in the SBB series Ae 3/6ˡ. In the total 52 years of service of the series, which was named E 16 after the newly introduced designation system and 116 from 1968 on, this type of drive proved itself very well despite costly maintenance. The locomotives were said to run extremely smoothly. In 1929, the Reichsbahn purchased four more locomotives from Krauss and BBC. Since they had undergone a number of changes compared to the first locomotives, including changes to the frame and superstructure, these vehicles were given the series designation E 16.1. The 120 km/h locomotives achieved an hourly output of 2,340/2,580 kW and a continuous output of 2,020/2,400 kW. In its first years of service, the E 16's duties included high-quality express trains from Munich. Most of the time, they hauled express and fast trains in Bavaria and to Austria. At the height of their career, the machines hauled three F trains, including the F 5/6 Orient Express, as well as 42 D train pairs. At the end of 1958, the Bundesbahn consolidated all E 16s at the Freilassing depot. Until the 1970s, it was impossible to do without these reliable locomotives, which, however, also enjoyed optimum care and maintenance in Freilassing. In 1978, the scheduled service of this series came to an end.
EDITION FREILASSING: Over the next few years, selected models from the former Freilassing depot will be reproduced under the "Edition Freilassing" label. In 1905, the first locomotives, at that time still steam locomotives, moved into the locomotive shed with its 20 tracks. Around 20 years later, the electric locomotive workshop was built, followed by other buildings in the years that followed. ROCO also has a close relationship with the Bavarian town of Freilassing, as the first German sales office was located here. Look forward to the models of this unique edition!
