Roco 7300106 H0 Diesel locomotive class 290, DB, Ep. IV

Are you looking for a powerful and elegant diesel locomotive for your analog H0 layout? The Roco BR 290 276 from the German Federal Railroad is a completely new design that combines the classic German Federal Railroad look with modern model building standards - ideal for heavy shunting and light mainline service in Era IV.

The new generation of shunting locomotive - now in a model

The V 90, later known as the BR 290, was DB's answer to the increasing demands of shunting and transfer traffic from the mid-1960s onwards. Based on the proven V 100, it was equipped with an extended frame, higher operating weight and a more powerful engine. Roco is now bringing this proven workhorse to your tracks as a completely new model design.

Prototypical down to the smallest detail

The locomotive comes in the classic purple-red livery of the German Federal Railroad. It impresses with an openwork driver's cab, the finest engravings, filigree railings and metal stems - for the best tractive power and high stability. The wheel sets are equipped with low wheel flanges and ensure a harmonious appearance.

Prepared for digitalization and shunting couplings

Even though the model is designed for analogue operation, it can be easily digitized thanks to the PluX22 interface. The locomotive is also prepared for the installation of an electric shunting coupling - the corresponding soldering points are already provided on the circuit board. The coupling will be available separately at a later date.

Conclusion: The analog powerhouse for your DB layout

With the Roco 7300106 BR 290 you get an absolutely coherent, prototypical and powerful model that also impresses in analog operation with its excellent running characteristics - and is equipped for the digital future if desired. Now available in the model railroad store - get this Federal Railroad workhorse for your Era IV fleet!
