Roco 7120017 H0 Steam locomotive 01 0529-6, DR, Ep. IV, AC sound: A highlight for AC model railroads

The Roco 7120017 H0 steam locomotive 01 0529-6 is an exact replica of the reconstructed express locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV (1965-1990). Equipped with modern digital and sound technology, the finest metal wheel sets and an authentic color scheme, this model is a perfect eye-catcher on any AC layout.

The prototype of the Roco 7120017: Class 01 0529

The class 01 was extensively reconstructed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in order to improve its performance and increase its reliability. The improvements included a welded boiler with a third safety valve, a modernized cab design and beveled Witte wind deflectors. The oil firing system made the locomotive more efficient and more powerful.

The 01 0529-6 received an oil main firing system, a combustion chamber boiler and a mixing preheater in 1964. The operating condition from 1971 with white decorative lines and a pointed smokebox door shows the locomotive in its most magnificent form. The locomotive was last stationed in Berlin-Schöneweide and was taken out of service in 1983.

Roco: Precision and innovation

Technical features of the Roco 7120017

The model is designed for H0 gauge and a 3-wire alternating current system (AC). The locomotive is driven on two axles of the tender and via a cardan shaft on all three driving axles of the locomotive, which enables even power transmission. With a length over buffers of 281 mm and a minimum radius of 420 mm, the locomotive is very versatile. The LED lighting provides a realistic change of light in white, and the NEM-652 interface enables simple retrofitting.
