Roco 7120015 H0 steam locomotive 10 001 rot, DB, Ep. III, AC-sound

Roco 7120015 H0 DB steam locomotive 10 001 in red with AC sound: An elegant design study of Era III

The Roco 7120015 H0 steam locomotive 10 001 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) is an outstanding model that impressively implements the "Esslingen 1" design study of the class 10. With its striking rust-red paint scheme, chrome-plated decorative lines and numerous technical highlights, this locomotive is a perfect example of the innovations of Era III.

The prototype: The design study of the class 10

The class 10 was designed as a new Pacific express locomotive for the German Federal Railroad. In order to find a suitable design, numerous proposals were submitted, including proposal no. 1 from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen. This impressed with its dynamic and powerful appearance in rust-red paintwork with chrome-plated trim lines. Although this design never went into series production, it remains one of the most fascinating design studies in German locomotive construction.

The railroad company: Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB)

In Era III, the Deutsche Bundesbahn was synonymous with progress and innovation in rail transportation. The design study of the class 10 reflects DB's ambitious plans to usher in a new era in express train transportation. The 10 001 model is a tribute to this visionary time.

Era III: The era of railroad reconstruction

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by a mix of traditional steam locomotives and modern developments. Express locomotives such as the class 10 were to embody the future of the railroad. This model brings the spirit of this exciting era to your model railway layout in true detail.

Color scheme and design

The Roco 7120015 impresses with its rust-red paint scheme, which is finished with raised, chrome-plated decorative lines. Fine metal-spoked wheels, an LED headlight with direction-dependent change and digitally switchable driver's cab and engine lighting ensure a realistic appearance. The dynamic steam output, including at the cylinders, rounds off the visual effect.
