The Roco 186 905-6 electric locomotive from Crossrail is an excellent model of modern locomotive technology that perfectly reflects the international freight traffic of the V-VI era. With precise attention to detail, high-quality plug-in parts and a realistic design, this locomotive is a must for model railroaders who are enthusiastic about cross-border rail traffic.

The prototype: Crossrail - an important player in international freight traffic

The 186 905 belongs to the 186 class, which was originally ordered by CB Rail for international freight traffic. These multi-system locomotives (TRAXX MS2e) are specially designed for use in several European countries and were first deployed in Switzerland in 2008. Crossrail, a major company in cross-border freight transport, was the first operator of these locomotives in Switzerland and Italy. The 186 905 was the only locomotive to retain its white operating number on the front and also bore the characteristic Crossrail lettering until the end of 2020.

Detailed design and innovative technology

The Roco 186 905-6 impresses with its detailed replica. The model has separately attached plug-in parts, some of which are made using etching technology, which further enhances the authentic look. A special feature is the snow plow on the chassis, which makes the model even more realistic for use in winter operation. The digital equipment includes a switchable head and tail light, which can be controlled via a DIP switch to adapt the locomotive to different operating conditions.

Technical features and lighting

The model is designed for operation with direct current (DC) and has LED lighting that allows the light to change between red and white. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 217 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is perfect for use on H0 layouts. The NEM coupling system with close coupling kinematics ensures stable and reliable coupling with other vehicles.

Why this model is an enrichment for your collection
