Roco 7310011 Diesel locomotive 112 294-4, DR, Era IV - A model with power and history
The Roco 7310011 112 294-4 diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) brings a powerful and striking locomotive of Era IV to your H0 model railway layout. This model is a detailed replica of the class 112, which was created as a result of modernization measures for the class 110 and is distinguished by its reinforced motor and higher power. Roco has designed the locomotive with great attention to detail so that it is a real highlight on any layout and will delight both collectors and model railroaders.
Prototype and history: The class 112 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn
The history of the class 112 begins in the early 1970s. In 1972, the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) equipped some class 110 locomotives with a more powerful 1,200 hp diesel engine in order to optimize them for use in express train services. This increase in power was necessary as the standard version of the 110 series was too weak for this type of service. In addition to the engine upgrades, other components were also adapted to make the locomotives more stable and efficient. Due to the positive test results, the DR decided to convert almost 500 locomotives to the more powerful class 112 in its workshop in Stendal.
Locomotive 112 294-4 belonged to the Reichsbahndirektion (Rbd) Erfurt and was stationed at the Bahnbetriebswerk (Bw) Gera. With its striking red paint scheme and robust, powerful body, the class 112 became a symbol of the efficiency and modernization of the DR during Era IV.
