Roco 7110017 H0 Steam locomotive 01 0529-6, DR, Ep. IV, DC sound: An express locomotive with the latest digital technology

The Roco 7110017 H0 steam locomotive 01 0529-6 is a prototypical reproduction of a reconstructed express locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV (1965-1990). With its elegant appearance, modern digital and sound functions and finely detailed workmanship, this model is a highlight for sophisticated model railway layouts.

The prototype of the Roco 7110017: Class 01 0529

The class 01 was extensively reconstructed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn due to its poor condition. The aim of these measures was to increase performance and eliminate weak points. The most important improvements included a welded boiler with a third safety valve, a modernized driver's cab and bevelled Witte wind deflectors. The reconstructions made the 01 series more powerful and reliable.

In 1964, the 01 0529-6 was fitted with oil firing, a combustion chamber boiler and a mixing preheater. These features made it one of the most modern locomotives of its time. The operating condition from 1971 with white decorative lines and a pointed smokebox door shows the locomotive in its best form. Its last service station was Berlin-Schöneweide before it was taken out of service in 1983.
