Roco 7180014 TT steam locomotive 44 139, DRG, Ep. II Product Details
Roco steam locomotive 44 139 - TT, DRG, Era II
The Roco 7180014 shows the heavy freight locomotive 44 139 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in a special version with photographic paint. With Wagner wind deflectors, the finest printing and many separately applied parts, this model is a real highlight for Era II layouts in TT scale.
Design & finish
The locomotive has a photographic paint finish, a special lime paint that was applied by locomotive factories to make locomotives more visible for photographs. This was only applied for presentation purposes and could be washed off. The design is complemented by the striking Wagner wind deflectors. Many separately applied components and a detailed driver's cab ensure a realistic appearance.
Technology & equipment
The locomotive is powered by a 3-pole motor with a flywheel. Two axles are driven and equipped with traction tires to achieve a higher tractive force. The lighting is provided by a 2 headlight that switches depending on the direction of travel and uses modern LED technology. A Next18 interface is provided for later digitization. The model is designed for DC analog operation.
Historical background
The class 44 was created as part of the standard locomotive program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. With its 1'E h3 axle arrangement, it was designed for heavy freight train service and was to be able to haul up to 1,200 t in low mountain ranges and 600 t over steep ramps. The first 10 locomotives were delivered in 1926. Series production began on a larger scale from 1937, so that the class 44 formed the backbone of heavy goods traffic in Germany for decades. The photographic livery was a special feature that was used for presentation and advertising purposes. It enabled high-contrast images of the locomotives at a time when black and white photography dominated.
Compatibility & possible applications
The locomotive is designed for DC analog operation and can be digitally retrofitted via the Next18 interface. It is ideally suited for use in freight train service in Era II and harmonizes perfectly with DRG freight cars of the same era.
Purchase arguments & target group
This model is a must for fans of historic DRG vehicles. The photographic paint scheme makes the 44 139 an extraordinary locomotive that is interesting for both display case collectors and model railroaders with a historical layout theme.

Frequently asked questions
| Question: | Which scale and power system is the Roco 7180014 designed for? |
| Answer: | The steam locomotive is a TT-scale model in 1:120 for analogue two-rail DC layouts. It is suitable for compatible TT track systems with a 12 mm gauge. This version is not intended for H0 track or three-rail AC systems. |
| Question: | Which prototype and special livery does the model represent? |
| Answer: | The model represents Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft heavy freight locomotive 44 139 from Era II. Its distinctive grey photographic finish reproduces the temporary coating applied to prototype locomotives for high-contrast factory and presentation photographs. Wagner smoke deflectors complete the historic appearance. |
| Question: | Is the locomotive already digital or equipped with sound? |
| Answer: | The locomotive is supplied for analogue operation without sound. A Next18 interface is provided for the later installation of a compatible digital decoder. Adding sound also requires a suitable sound decoder, an appropriate speaker and sufficient installation experience. |
| Question: | Which drive and lighting features does the locomotive offer? |
| Answer: | The model is powered by a three-pole motor with a flywheel. Two axles are driven and fitted with traction tyres to support pulling performance. Its two-lamp LED headlight signal changes according to the direction of travel. |
| Question: | Which dimensions and track requirements should be considered? |
| Answer: | The locomotive measures 190 mm over the buffers and requires a minimum curve radius of 310 mm. It has a NEM 358 coupling pocket with a close-coupling mechanism and can be combined with suitably equipped TT freight wagons. Numerous separately fitted parts and the detailed cab also make it attractive for collectors. The recommended age is 14 years and above, and the model is not suitable for children under three because of small parts. |
