Roco 7500143 H0 Electric locomotive BB 126163 'En Voyage', SNCF, Ep. V-VI: Versatility in a modern design

The Roco 7500143 H0 electric locomotive BB 126163 is a detailed replica of the French dual-system electric locomotive BB 26000 of the SNCF in the striking 'En Voyage' design. With prototypical equipment and an authentic color scheme, this model is a perfect choice for fans of modern French railroad technology.

The prototype: The BB 26000 - Flexible and powerful

The locomotives of the BB 26000 series known as 'Sybic' were delivered to the French State Railways (SNCF) between 1988 and 1998 in a quantity of 234 units. These multi-purpose locomotives are designed for use in freight and passenger transport and cover a wide range of applications.

With a top speed of 200 km/h and an output of 5,600 kW, they are among the SNCF's most powerful electric locomotives. Their dual-system capability enables operation under 1.5 kV direct current and 25 kV/50 Hz alternating current, which means they can be used flexibly throughout France. The BB 126163 has a modern 'En Voyage' design that symbolizes the versatility and modernity of this series.

Detailed model realization

The model is characterized by a filigree reproduction of the two different pantographs and fine etched parts on the roof. The two-light headlights are prototypically designed and, in combination with the red-white light change, are a visual enrichment. The switchable lighting via a DIP switch provides additional functionality.

Color scheme and design

The 'En Voyage' design has been implemented precisely and gives the model a modern and elegant look. The detailed printing and the harmonious color combination make the locomotive an eye-catcher on any H0 model railway 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 204 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is very versatile. The NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) ensure problem-free integration into existing train formations.

Care and maintenance

The Roco BB 126163 is low-maintenance and robust. The LED lamps have a long service life and provide reliable lighting. The wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to maintain the quality of operation. Moving parts can be easily lubricated if necessary.

Conclusion: Modernity and versatility for your layout

The Roco 7500143 H0 electric locomotive BB 126163 impresses with its prototypical design and high functionality. With its modern design and versatility, it is an excellent addition to model railroad layouts of eras V and VI. Get this locomotive and experience the versatility of French rail traffic!
