NEW Roco 7310142 H0 Diesellok BR 106 094-6 DR Ep.IV DC-Sound

Roco 7310142 H0 Diesel Locomotive BR 106 094-6 DR – DC Sound, Era IV

Are you looking for a classic Deutsche Reichsbahn shunting locomotive with authentic paintwork, variable details, and digital sound for your H0 model railroad? The Roco 7310142 BR 106 094 diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) brings the characteristic shunting operations of Era IV to your layout. The model features a dark red paint scheme and has a rain guard over the side windows. Of particular interest are the variably mounted frost protection covers for the ventilation grilles, as well as the die-cast zinc motor housings, which provide additional weight and high tractive force.

The locomotive is assigned to the Rbd Greifswald, Bw Pasewalk, home depot. Its design incorporates key features of the historic shunting locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and combines them with extensive digital features. In digital mode, switchable shunting lights, low beams, headlights, tail lights, and cab lighting are available.

This makes the Roco 7310142 ideal for model railroad enthusiasts who collect historic DR rolling stock and wish to enhance their switching yards with a detailed locomotive complete with sound functions.

Dark red paint scheme and typical features of the Class 106

The dark red paint scheme defines the appearance of the Roco 106 094. A characteristic detail is the rain guard over the side windows, which was already introduced on the prototype during the construction of the first main production series.

The design of the locomotive fronts also has a historical background. Over the course of development, the front end was modified compared to the first prototypes. In later versions, the fronts were designed to be straight except for the rounded corners, while the lights were mounted directly on the front.

These differences make the development history of the switching locomotive particularly interesting. The Roco model captures the typical features of the Era IV version and thus offers a fitting addition to collections of historic Deutsche Reichsbahn rolling stock.

Frost protection covers can be installed as desired

A special feature is the frost protection covers for the ventilation grilles. These can be mounted either in the open or closed position.

This allows you to customize the appearance of the ventilation areas. The variable design offers additional flexibility in adapting the model to your own preferences.

Together with the dark red paint finish and the rain canopy, this detail underscores the locomotive’s meticulous design and makes it appealing to model railroaders who value distinctive features.

Die-Cast Zinc Engine Mounts for High Traction

The motor mounts on the Roco diesel locomotive are made of die-cast zinc. This construction gives the model more weight and is designed for high tractive force.

This construction method is a particularly interesting feature for a switching locomotive. It complements the detailed exterior design with a special structural characteristic.

The combination of the heavy motor mounts and the digital equipment makes the Roco 7310142 a versatile addition for shunting and freight operations on a suitable H0 model railroad layout.

Historical Background of the BR V 60 Shunting Locomotive

Development of the BR V 60 shunting locomotive for the Deutsche Reichsbahn (East) began with the testing of the first two prototype units in 1959. Before series production could begin, further design changes were necessary, which were initially tested on a small series of five units.

From 1962 to 1964, LKM Babelsberg delivered the first series of 163 locomotives to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Even while this main series was still being built, a rain guard was installed above the side windows. In addition, the front sections of the front end were given a slightly modified shape.

On the first locomotives, the front end sections were slightly curved around a vertical axis. The lamps protruded from brackets. Starting with locomotive number V 60 1053, the front end sections were designed to be straight except for the rounded corners, and the lamps were mounted directly on the front.

The Roco 106 094 incorporates the characteristic features of this development and represents a Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotive from Era IV.

Digital Sound and Versatile Lighting Functions

The Roco 7310142 is equipped with a digital decoder and sound. This allows the locomotive to be controlled on a compatible H0 DC digital layout and operated with the intended sound functions.

The digital features include several switchable lighting functions. In addition to direction-dependent headlights and tail lights, shunting lights, low beams, and cab lighting can be used.

These functions offer additional creative possibilities for various operating scenarios on the model railroad layout. Especially during shunting, the lighting can be adapted to the specific situation.

Direction-Dependent Headlights and Tail Lights

The model features a direction-dependent three-light headlight and two tail lights. The headlight is implemented using LEDs.

When the direction of travel changes, the lighting pattern adjusts accordingly. Additional digital lighting functions are also available, making the model more versatile in operation.

Switchable shunting light, low beam, and cab lighting

In digital operation, the Roco 7310142 offers additional switchable lighting functions in addition to the head and tail lights. These include shunting lights, low-beam lights, and cab lighting.

These additional lighting functions expand the possibilities for showcasing the locomotive on your layout. This allows you to select the appropriate lighting for various operating situations.

Combined with the integrated sound, this creates a versatile set of features for model railroading enthusiasts who want to control their locomotives digitally.

PluX22 Interface and Digital Control

The locomotive features an integrated PluX22 digital decoder and an electrical interface compliant with the PluX22 standard. The model is designed for digital DC operation.

The combination of decoder, sound, and switchable lighting functions offers a comprehensive set of features for digital layout operation. This makes the locomotive particularly suitable for model railroaders who want to control multiple functions precisely.

Close-coupling mechanism for compatible train formations

The Roco 7310142 features a NEM 362 coupler housing with close-coupling mechanism.

This allows for the use of compatible model railroad couplers. The standardized coupler mount provides a basis for connecting to compatible freight cars and enables the integration of the locomotive into corresponding train formations.

A Shunting Locomotive for DR Era IV

The Roco 7310142 is designed for model railroaders who wish to recreate the shunting and freight operations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The dark red paint scheme, the rain guard, and the adjustable frost protection covers give it a distinctive appearance.

The die-cast zinc motor housings add to the locomotive’s weight and provide high tractive effort. At the same time, the digital decoder with sound and the switchable lighting functions offer numerous possibilities for operation on a digital model railroad layout.

The model is also of interest to collectors: the specific locomotive number 106 094 and its home base at Rbd Greifswald, Bw Pasewalk, give this version a specific connection to the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
