Anniversary locomotive with unmistakable design

The unique edition also underlines the special character of this model and makes the locomotive a real highlight for collectors and model railroaders who are looking for something special.

A Taurus with European symbolism

The legend of Europe on the bull stands for strength, movement and the courage to set off.

Just as Europe was once carried across the sea, today the Taurus connects countries and cultures on Europe's rails. It stands for modern technology, reliability and boundless mobility. This gives this anniversary locomotive not only a visual and technical significance, but also a symbolic statement that further enhances its appeal.

Versatile use in international transport

The electric locomotive belongs to the Austrian Federal Railways and is assigned to Era VI. In use in Austria, Germany and Italy in passenger and freight traffic, it demonstrates precisely the international range of use for which the Taurus series is known. This makes the model ideal for modern train compositions that are intended to credibly bring cross-border traffic to the H0 layout. Whether in front of high-quality passenger trains or in freight traffic, this locomotive ensures a modern and powerful appearance in the train formation.

The combination of international prototype, eye-catching anniversary design and unique edition makes this model interesting in many ways. It fits into both operationally oriented modern fleets and collections in which exclusive special models have a special place.

Technical features for impressive model railroad operation

The model is equipped with a NEM 362 shaft with KK kinematics. In addition, a coupling adapter is included for use in front of Railjet models that are equipped with electric couplers ex works. This means that the locomotive is also flexible in practical layout operation and well matched to suitable sets. This solution is particularly interesting for model railroaders who want to implement modern Austrian train formations in a harmonious way.

The technical data also underline the high-quality standard of the model. The locomotive has four powered axles, one axle with traction tires and a flywheel. The electrical interface for PluX22 traction units forms the basis for the technical equipment. The headlights are designed as 3 headlights and 2 marker lights depending on the direction of travel; LED headlights are also available.
