Roco 7500109 H0 Electric locomotive 155 013-6, DB AG, Ep. VI: A modern classic for freight traffic

The Roco 7500109 H0 155 013-6 electric locomotive brings the legendary Deutsche Bahn 155 class to your model railway layout in its traffic red livery. With its detailed realization, this model embodies the robust charm of this freight locomotive in modern Era VI. Perfectly suited for heavy trains and versatile use on your H0 layout.

The prototype: The class 155 - "Strom-Container" in freight service

The class 155, originally known as the class 250, was introduced by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1977 for heavy freight traffic. With 270 locomotives of this series, it reliably handled heavy loads and was a workhorse of the freight train service. After German reunification, these locomotives were transferred to the Deutsche Bahn fleet and reclassified as the 155 series.

From 1992, many of these locomotives were given the DB-typical traffic red livery in order to adapt them to the appearance of the modern railroad. With its angular shape and powerful technology, the class 155 was quickly nicknamed the "Strom-Container" or "Brick" and remained an integral part of German freight traffic.

Model features and detailing

The Roco 7500109 locomotive impresses with its high level of detail and precise reproduction of the original. The fine details such as the angular buffers, the pantographs and the exactly reproduced bogies are particularly striking. The model is also equipped with a switchable head and tail light that can be controlled via a DIP switch.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the classic traffic red livery of Deutsche Bahn and has all the typical lettering and markings of Era VI. The precise printing and the detailed design of the components make this 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 225 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for use on a wide variety of layouts. Thanks to the coupling shafts according to NEM and the close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics), the locomotive can be easily integrated into train formations.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7500109 is low-maintenance and robust. The maintenance-free LED lamps ensure reliable lighting, while the wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly. Occasional lubrication of moving parts contributes to long-term operational reliability.

Conclusion: A modern classic for your model railway layout
