Description

Roco 7100049 H0 Steam locomotive class 56 - CFL war steam locomotive in a fine design

With the Roco 7100049 steam locomotive 5605, Roco presents a fascinating model of the Luxembourg State Railroad (CFL) from Era III. The engine is based on the well-known class 52 of the German Reichsbahn (KDL 1) - a so-called war locomotive - and was also used in Luxembourg from the 1950s. This model combines robust prototype technology with fine detailing and modern model railway technology for H0 operation.

Impressive technology - drive & detailing

The locomotive is driven on two axles of the tender, while a cardan shaft transmits the power to all five driving axles of the locomotive - a total of seven driven axles ensure high tractive power. A flywheel mass guarantees smooth running. The LED headlights are implemented as 2 headlights with direction of travel change. The PluX16 interface allows digital retrofitting. The Z21 model is also driver's cab compatible - ideal for modern control systems.

Finest details for the highest demands

The fine spoked wheels made of metal as well as the driving and coupling rods made of precision cast metal underline the high-quality standard of this model. Delicate CFL lettering ensures a harmonious appearance that fits perfectly into European Era III train formations.

Historical background - CFL and the class 52

After the Second World War, the CFL urgently needed modern and available steam locomotives. A number of DRB class 52s - also known as KDL 1 (Kriegsdampflok) - were taken over. These locomotives were a mainstay of traffic on the northern line in Luxembourg until the early 1960s and were known for their reliability in heavy service.
