Description

Roco 7310060 H0 Diesel locomotive 118 210-4, DR, Ep. IV, DC sound: A masterpiece of East German engineering

The Roco diesel locomotive 118 210-4 brings a piece of railroad history of the German Reichsbahn (DR) of the GDR to your model railway layout. This model, part of the famous V 180 series, represents the largest and most versatile diesel locomotive ever built in the GDR. With state-of-the-art technology, impressive sound equipment and outstanding attention to detail, this locomotive is a must for every model train collector.

The prototype: The V 180 class of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class V 180, later known as the class 118, was developed in the 1960s to replace the steam locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Originally designed as a four-axle locomotive, it was later produced in a six-axle version, which had an exceptionally low axle mass of just 15.6 tons. This technical masterpiece meant that the V 180 could be used not only on main lines, but also on branch lines and steep gradients - a unique feature among large German diesel locomotives.

The locomotive 118 210-4 was stationed at the Meiningen depot of the Erfurt Reichsbahndirektion (Rbd). It was used for both freight and passenger service and met the requirements of the demanding railroad operations in the GDR with its reliability and versatility.
