Description

Roco 7500141 H0 Electric locomotive 4016, CFL, Ep. VI: Versatility from Luxembourg

The Roco 7500141 H0 electric locomotive 4016 brings the power and flexibility of the modern Luxembourg State Railroad (CFL) to your model railroad layout. This finely detailed model impresses with its prototypical design and precise technology and is ideal for use on Era VI layouts.

The prototype: TRAXX AC1 - flexibility in European freight traffic

The TRAXX AC1 series is a further development of the successful 145 series and was specially designed for cross-border freight traffic. These powerful locomotives are designed for the AC voltage systems commonly used in Europe (15 kV/16 2/3 Hz and 25 kV/50 Hz) and can operate both national and international connections.

With a continuous output of 5.6 MW and a maximum speed of 140 km/h, the TRAXX AC1 can handle demanding transportation tasks. Between 2004 and 2005, the CFL received a total of 20 P140AC1 locomotives, which have been used successfully in freight transport ever since.

Detailed model realization

The model of the CFL electric locomotive 4016 impresses with a multitude of prototypical details. The filigree design of the pantographs, the separately attached windshield wipers and the rail scraper on the chassis make this locomotive an eye-catcher on any layout. The headlights and taillights can be switched using a DIP switch and ensure a realistic representation in operation.

Technical details and compatibility

The electric 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 217 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, it can be used flexibly and fits seamlessly into a wide variety of system layouts. The NEM coupling shaft with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) enables simple integration into train formations.

Color scheme and design

The authentic paintwork and precise printing perfectly reflect the prototype of the CFL 4016. This model impresses with its simple elegance and prototypical design that captures the character of Era VI.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7500141 electric locomotive is robust and low-maintenance. The LED lighting is energy-efficient and long-lasting. Regular cleaning of the wheels and couplings ensures trouble-free operation. Delicate details such as the pantographs should be handled with particular care.

Conclusion: Modern technology and reliable performance

The Roco 7500141 H0 electric locomotive 4016 is an excellent model for anyone who wants to authentically recreate modern freight traffic. With its attention to detail, prototypical functions and outstanding technical features, it is an enrichment for any model railway layout of Era VI.
