The locomotive from Era VI is perfect for DC operation and its numerous details and high-quality technology make it a real enrichment for modern model railroad freight traffic.

The prototype: DB Cargo focuses on growth with "Starke Cargo"

Since December 2020, the Vectron locomotive 193 368-4 from DB Cargo has been traveling through Germany under the slogan "Strong Cargo" and promoting the new growth strategy of Deutsche Bahn's freight division. This initiative, which was launched in September 2020, stands for a clear focus on growth and efficiency in rail freight transport. The modern Vectron locomotive with its "Starke Cargo" lettering is a clear sign of the new goals and the further development of DB Cargo as a future-oriented logistics provider. The class 193 locomotive stands for performance, environmental friendliness and the expansion of rail freight transport in Germany and Europe.

As part of DB Cargo AG's modern locomotives, the 193 368-4 is designed for cross-border traffic and is one of the most powerful and reliable machines in operation in Europe. Its dynamic design with the striking color scheme and the "Starke Cargo" lettering gives the locomotive an unmistakable look and is a symbol of innovation and growth.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality equipment in H0 scale

The Roco 71967 locomotive is a faithful reproduction of the Vectron series in H0 (1:87) and brings all the striking features of the "Starke Cargo" locomotive to the model railway layout in impressive detail. With a length over buffers of 218 mm and a precise color scheme in the "Starke Cargo" design, the model fits perfectly into modern freight train compositions and is a real eye-catcher.

The model has finely detailed free-standing grab irons, partly made of metal, which round off the look of the locomotive. The locomotive is equipped with an NEM 362 coupler pocket with close coupler kinematics, which allows a flexible combination with other freight and passenger cars. Another highlight are the headlights and marker lights that depend on the direction of travel and are generated by maintenance-free LEDs and provide realistic lighting.

Excellent technology and flexible equipment for digital operation

The Roco 71967 is intended for analogue operation, but is prepared for digitalization and equipped with a PluX22 interface, which makes it easy to install a decoder. The model is equipped with a powerful motor and a flywheel, which ensures smooth starting and braking and realistic driving behavior. The four powered axles provide a high tractive force, ensuring reliable performance even with longer freight trains.

The headlights can be switched via a DIP switch if required so that the locomotive can be used flexibly on different routes. The locomotive is designed for DC operation, but offers the option of digitalization thanks to the PluX22 interface, allowing it to be adapted to individual requirements.

Perfect for modern Era VI freight traffic scenarios

The Roco 71967 "Starke Cargo" locomotive is ideal for model railroaders who want to recreate the modern freight traffic of Era VI. Its contemporary look and powerful performance make it the perfect choice for all layouts that incorporate current railroad projects and logistics themes. The locomotive cuts an excellent figure both as a tractor unit for heavy freight trains and in international rail freight traffic.
