Roco 70465 H0 Electric locomotive E 412 013, Mercitalia Rail, Ep.VI, DC sound

The Roco 70465 E 412 013 electric locomotive is a powerful two-system locomotive from Mercitalia Rail, a subsidiary of the Italian state railroads FS. With its modern paintwork and high-quality technical equipment, it is a highlight for H0 model railroaders. The model impresses with digitally switchable light and sound functions as well as a detailed replica of the prototype.

Historical background of the E 412

In the 1990s, the Italian state railroads commissioned ABB Tecnomasio to produce 20 E 412 series dual-system locomotives. These locomotives were specially developed for cross-border traffic between Italy, Austria and Germany and are designed for a maximum speed of 220 km/h. Under 3 kV direct current and 15 kV 16 2/3 Hz alternating current, they have an output of 6 MW and 5.5 MW respectively. These locomotives have been in service since 1997 and have been repainted over time in the current Mercitalia Rail livery.
