Description

Roco 7310006 H0 SNCF diesel locomotive BB 62405: DC sound and historical authenticity in Era V

The Roco 7310006 H0 diesel locomotive BB 62405 of the French State Railways (SNCF) combines historical precision with the latest digital technology. With DC sound, switchable light functions and a realistic paint scheme in faded condition, this model is a highlight for any Era V model railroad layout.

The prototype: BB 62405 of the SNCF

The BB 62405 belongs to the class 2400, which was acquired by the Dutch State Railways (NS). The SNCF procured a total of 44 of these used diesel-electric locomotives, which were used for the construction of new high-speed lines. After being overhauled in the Tilburg workshop, they were given the number series 60000-70000 in France and were nicknamed "Hollandaises". The BB 62405 was in service in 1999 in a faded operating condition, often in double traction in order to haul heavy trains efficiently.

Era V: Transition and innovation

In Era V (1985-2007), the focus was on technical innovations and international cooperation. The BB 62405 represents this era in which used locomotives took on new tasks in a changed operating context.

Digital features and sound

The model is equipped with a PluX22 sound decoder that provides realistic operating sounds. Shunting lights and individually switchable headlights and taillights are available in digital operation, which ensures a high degree of prototypical fidelity. A buffer capacitor ensures uninterrupted operation, even on demanding routes.
