The model is 214 mm long (length over buffers) and impresses with numerous technical features that make operation on modern model railroad layouts particularly realistic. Thanks to the digital interface, the locomotive can easily be retrofitted with a decoder, making it ideal for use on digital layouts.
The class 038, also known as the Prussian P 8, was one of the most successful steam locomotives in Germany and was used on many branch lines. These locomotives were originally developed for passenger services on main and branch lines and were particularly valued for their reliability and versatility. Until the 1970s, the 038s shaped the image of the German Federal Railroad, especially on rural lines.
The design with riveted tender and Witte wind deflectors was typical of these locomotives, which were mainly used in local transport. They mostly hauled passenger trains and were an integral part of daily operations on German branch lines for a long time. It was only with the introduction of diesel and electric locomotives that the 038 series was slowly replaced.
Roco is known for its high-quality and precisely manufactured model railroads. The model of the Roco 71379 steam locomotive 038 509-6 is a completely new construction and impresses with its numerous, separately attached plug-in parts, which make the model particularly fine and detailed.

The cab and engine lighting in particular provides additional authenticity as it can be switched in digital operation. The 3 headlights change depending on the direction of travel, which makes operation on the model railroad layout even more realistic. With the PluX22 digital interface, the locomotive is future-proof and can be easily integrated into digital systems.
The Roco 71379 steam locomotive is designed for direct current (DC) operation and offers a variety of technical details that ensure smooth and realistic operation. The locomotive is driven by two axles, two of which are equipped with traction tires for optimum tractive power.
