Roco 71415 Electric locomotive double traction Re 10/10, SBB, Ep. IV: A strong team for heavy freight trains

Roco is presenting the Re 10/10 double traction locomotive as a special edition to mark the 175th anniversary of the Swiss railroad. This impressive model consists of the Re 4/4ˡˡ and Re 6/6 locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), which are painted green with decorative stripes and a coat of arms. These locomotives are used especially for heavy freight train traffic on the Gotthard line and are known for their high performance and reliability.

The model offers many fine details such as separately applied ventilation grilles and windshield wipers made of etched sheet metal, which ensure an authentic appearance. The two locomotives are individually powered and equipped with a PluX22 interface for easy digitization. Thanks to the factory-installed MS450P22 digital decoder, the model offers excellent control options in digital operation. With a length over buffers of 399 mm, this locomotive is an impressive highlight on any H0 model railroad layout.

Prototype: The Re 10/10 - A combination of Re 4/4ˡˡ and Re 6/6

The designation Re 10/10 stands for the double traction of a Re 4/4ˡˡ and a Re 6/6, which together have ten powered axles. This powerful combination is used by SBB almost exclusively in heavy freight train services, especially on the steep Gotthard route. The double unit reaches a speed of 80 km/h on gradients of 26 per thousand, even with a maximum load of up to 1,400 tons.

The Re 4/4ˡˡ and the Re 6/6 were valued for their reliability and power. They complemented each other perfectly, as the Re 6/6, being the stronger locomotive, was supported on the gradients, while the Re 4/4ˡˡˡ played to its strengths on the flatter sections. This combination is a prime example of the efficient use of electric locomotives in freight traffic.

High-quality model replica from Roco

The model of the Roco 71415 Re 10/10 impresses with its fine detailing and high quality of workmanship. The locomotives are equipped with finely engraved ventilation grilles and raised locomotive numbers, which makes the model particularly visually appealing. The locomotives also have front emblems that match the anniversary locomotives and emphasize the historic appearance.

The Swiss-style light change depending on the direction of travel ensures a realistic representation on the model railroad layout. The headlights change depending on the direction of travel, which makes the locomotives a highlight both visually and functionally. Thanks to the NEM 362 coupling systems with and without close coupling kinematics, the locomotive is versatile and easy to integrate.

Technical details and equipment

The Roco Re 10/10 not only impresses with its authentic appearance, but also with its technical highlights. Both locomotives are powered and together provide excellent traction, which is particularly effective in heavy freight train operation on the model railway layout. With eight powered axles and two axles with traction tires, the model offers excellent tractive power.

The model is equipped with a PluX22 interface that allows the installation of a digital decoder. The pre-installed MS450P22 decoder offers a wide range of control options, including light control and other digital functions. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the locomotive can be used on many model railway layouts without any problems.
