Description

Roco 7500106 H0 Electric locomotive 155 006-0, DR, Ep. V: The 'electricity container' of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The Roco 7500106 H0 155 006-0 electric locomotive is a precise replica of one of the legendary electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). With its oriental red paintwork and many prototypical details, this model brings the characteristic 'electricity container' of Era V to your model railway layout.

The prototype: The class 155 - powerhouse of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The Deutsche Reichsbahn began purchasing the class 250 in 1977, which was later renamed the class 155. A total of 270 locomotives of this series were produced for heavy freight train service. With an impressive hourly output of 5,400 kW and a top speed of 120 km/h, it was the backbone of the DR's freight traffic.

Due to its angular design, which did without streamlined curves, the 155 series was nicknamed 'Strom-Container' and 'Brick'. Its robust construction and reliable technology made it one of the best-known electric locomotives in Germany.

Detailed model realization

The model is painted in an oriental red livery with DR lettering and impresses with its many prototypical details:

The filigree pantographs and the finely engraved bogies underline the high quality of workmanship. The headlights and marker lights can be switched and are controlled via a DIP switch. This function ensures a realistic driving experience and makes the model a highlight on your layout.

Technical details and compatibility

The locomotive is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 225 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, it can be used universally. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) ensures simple and safe integration into existing train formations.

Color scheme and design

The oriental red paintwork with DR lettering is a real eye-catcher and brings the typical look of Era V to your model railway layout. The precise printing and the many separately applied parts make the model an authentic replica.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7500106 is robust and low-maintenance. The LED lighting is long-lasting and ensures maintenance-free use. The wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth operation.

Conclusion: A powerhouse for your model railway

The Roco 7500106 H0 electric locomotive 155 006-0 is a high-quality model that authentically reflects the strength and reliability of the 155 series. With its detailed design, prototypical functions and the typical oriental red paintwork, it is a highlight for all friends of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and a must for every Era V layout.
