The prototype of the Roco 73035 digital railroad slewing crane: A crane for the highest demands

The digital slewing railroad crane from Roco is based on the prototype of a railroad crane that was used on the tracks of the German Federal Railroad (DB) in eras IV and V. Such cranes were specially designed for track construction and heavy rescue work. Equipped with a rotating crane superstructure and a telescopic boom, the crane was versatile. Especially in the 1970s and 1980s, such cranes were indispensable in order to meet the increasing demands on railroad operations. Roco has recreated this prototype in great detail and reproduced numerous functions in the model that are in no way inferior to the original.

The German Federal Railroad and its important role in eras IV-V

In eras IV and V (approx. 1965 to 1994), the German Federal Railroad was in a phase of great change. The introduction of modern technology, the expansion of the rail network and the rationalization of operations characterized this period. The digital railroad slewing crane was an indispensable tool for DB to carry out track construction projects efficiently and ensure rapid assistance in the event of disruptions. Thanks to its universal application possibilities, the slewing crane made a significant contribution to increasing the efficiency of the railroad during this time. The model from Roco is an excellent representation of this chapter in railroad history.
