Roco 7110027 H0 Steam locomotive 86 1617-9, DR, Ep. IV, DC sound: A masterpiece of the art of model making

The Roco 7110027 H0 steam locomotive 86 1617-9 is a beautifully shaped and highly detailed replica of a steam locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV (1965-1990). With many separately applied plug-in parts, an OB driver's cab and long cut-out water boxes, this model represents the state of construction in the 1970s. Thanks to the integrated digital technology and sound function, this locomotive is not only a visual but also an acoustic highlight on any model railroad layout.

The prototype of the Roco 7110027: Steam locomotive 86 1617

Between 1928 and 1943, a total of 775 class 86 locomotives were delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The locomotives were designed for use on branch lines, but were also used on main and feeder lines. With an output of 1,000 hp and a top speed of 70-80 km/h, the class 86 was a versatile and reliable steam locomotive.

After the Second World War, 164 locomotives remained in the GDR. By 1970, 162 of these locomotives had been given computerized road numbers. The 86 1617-9 was stationed in the Aue depot of the Reichsbahndirektion (Rbd) Dresden. The retirement of the last locomotives of this class began in 1973. This model shows the locomotive in an authentic construction condition of the 1970s.
