The prototype: The Vectron locomotives from DPB

DPB Rail Infra Service GmbH has been operating as an independent rail transport company since 2018 and specializes in freight transport. In 2024, the first three of six Vectron MS locomotives of the A17 variant ordered were put into operation. These powerful vehicles are used for construction site logistics as well as for national and international freight train services.

DPB's Vectron locomotives are characterized by their versatility and modern technology. The locomotive 1293 905 is equipped with a contact strip for Italian traffic and offers the latest design of rail scrapers and sandboxes, which increases its adaptability and safety. These technical innovations make it a key locomotive for cross-border freight traffic in Europe.

Model features and attention to detail

The model of the Roco 7500104 impresses with a multitude of details that precisely reproduce the original. The elaborate roof design, the new sanding strips and the finely crafted rail clearances and sand boxes ensure maximum authenticity. The model also has a switchable head and tail light, which is controlled via DIP switches, as well as a prototypical light change in red and white.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the characteristic livery of DPB Rail Infra Service GmbH. Clear lines, accurate lettering and high-quality printing give the model a modern and appealing look. The authentic color scheme reflects the contemporary look of Era VI and makes the locomotive a visual highlight on your layout.

Technical details and compatibility

The model is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 218 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for operation on a wide variety of layouts. The NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) ensure prototypical coupling and flexible integration into train sets.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7500104 is robust and low-maintenance. The LED lamps are long-lasting and maintenance-free. To ensure that the model functions optimally, the wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly. Moving parts can be lightly lubricated if necessary to ensure long-term operational reliability.
