The Roco 71356 Class 254 electric locomotive is an exact replica of the famous class 254 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV. This model brings the striking and powerful appearance of the original locomotive perfectly to the H0 model railway layout. With a length over buffers of 213 mm and many technical functions, the class 254 is an absolute highlight for collectors and model railroaders who specialize in freight traffic in Era IV. The locomotive is factory-equipped with a sound decoder that provides realistic sounds for an authentic driving experience.
The class 254, also known as the E 94, is one of the best-known electric locomotives in Germany. It was originally developed for freight trains and was famous for its robustness and performance. With an impressive starting power of 3,900 kW and an hourly output of 3,240 kW, the E 94 was capable of pulling heavy freight trains even in mountainous terrain. A special feature of this locomotive was its tatz bearing drive, which enabled speeds of up to 100 km/h - an impressive performance for a locomotive that was primarily designed for freight train service. After the Second World War, the German Reichsbahn continued to use the remaining machines, where they were nicknamed "iron pigs".
The model train manufacturer Roco is known for its exact and high-quality replicas of historical locomotives. With the Roco 71356 BR 254, the company once again demonstrates its skills in the field of model making. The electric locomotive impresses with its precise attention to detail, from the filigree metal grab rails and handrails to the separately applied components that make the model look authentic. The locomotive is painted in the typical green livery of Era IV, which perfectly reflects the style of the time. With its solid construction and striking bogies, this locomotive is an eye-catcher on any model railway layout.
The Roco 71356 BR 254 is equipped with a variety of technical functions that make it a top model for model railroaders. The locomotive is driven by six axles, two of which are equipped with traction tires to ensure high tractive power. The integrated PluX22 digital decoder enables precise control of the locomotive in digital operation. Thanks to the factory-fitted sound decoder, you can enjoy realistic operating sounds such as starting and braking noises as well as the characteristic roar of the tatz bearing drive.
The locomotive has 3 headlights that change depending on the direction of travel at both ends of the vehicle and switchable cab lighting that provides even more authenticity. These lighting functions are fully controllable in digital operation and make a significant contribution to the realistic representation of locomotive operation. The locomotive is driven by the DC system, which makes it compatible with most H0 model railway layouts. The model also has an electrical interface in accordance with NEM 658, which makes it possible to install additional electronics.
The Roco 71356 BR 254 is the ideal locomotive for model railroaders who want to expand their H0 layout with a powerful freight locomotive steeped in history. Its robust construction and high level of detail make it a valuable collector's item. The combination of technical features such as the digital decoder, the realistic sound effects and the comprehensive lighting make this locomotive a highlight of any Era IV layout. The BR 254 is a model that is both visually and functionally impressive and should not be missing from any collection.
