Equipped with modern communication and safety systems, the 648 001-9 offers a prototypical driving experience on any model railroad layout.

The model is available in TT gauge and features numerous finely detailed and separately applied plug-in parts that make the appearance of the locomotive even more realistic. Particularly noteworthy are the rear-view mirrors as filigree etched parts and the multi-colored rear walls of the driver's cab, which give the model an extraordinary depth of detail. The diesel locomotive is not only an eye-catcher on any layout, but also a reliable and powerful model for operating long freight trains.

Roco: A guarantee for the highest art of model building

The GySEV and the class 648: Modern technology in freight traffic

The Györ-Sopron-Ebenfurti Vasút (GySEV) is a Hungarian-Austrian railroad company that operates both passenger and freight services. The 648 001-9 locomotive is part of the modern freight train fleet and was repainted in green and yellow in 2018 to underline GySEV's characteristic appearance. The locomotive is based on the proven technology of the 233 series and was used specifically for heavy freight train operations.

The 233 series, from which the 648 001-9 also originated, is known for its robustness and reliability. Originally developed in the Soviet Union, these locomotives were used to transport heavy goods for many years. With the modern equipment of the GySEV locomotives, including advanced radio and safety equipment, the 648 series is still an indispensable workhorse in European freight transport today.
