NEW Roco 7500259 H0 E-Lok 1116 112-4 ÖBB Bosporus Paket Ep.VI

Roco 7500259 – ÖBB Electric Locomotive 1116 112-4 with Bosporus Package in H0, Era VI

Would you like to run an ÖBB Taurus with special prototype features in analog mode while keeping the option open for digital retrofitting? The Roco 7500259 replicates the 1116 112-4 electric locomotive with the Bosporus package in H0 scale. This Era VI model combines elaborately designed roof equipment with four-axle drive and a PluX22 interface. It thus offers an interesting addition to your Austrian fleet.

Characteristic Roof Equipment of the Bosporus Version

What sets this Taurus version apart upon closer inspection? The model is particularly distinguished by its roof design and the prototypical arrangement of the antennas. These details reflect the special equipment of the prototype locomotive and are showcased both in a display case and when viewing the locomotive in motion.

Imagine the 1116 112-4 in front of a freight train set slowly rolling out of the station onto the main line. With a suitably designed setting, this creates a scene that brings international rail traffic to life on your layout.

Run in analog mode and upgrade to digital if desired

The Roco 7500259 is designed for analog operation on H0 two-wire DC layouts. A digital decoder and sound are not included as standard equipment with this version.

You can add a compatible decoder via the built-in PluX22 interface. This leaves you free to decide whether to use the locomotive permanently in analog mode or to incorporate it into a digital fleet at a later date. Digital operation requires a compatible decoder and a suitable control system.

Four powered axles and direction-dependent LED lighting

The drive system powers all four axles. A flywheel ensures smooth running, while traction tires help transfer power to the track. The LED lighting switches between three white headlights and two red taillights depending on the direction of travel.

The model features NEM 362 coupler mounts with close-coupling kinematics. Its length over buffers is 221 mm, and the specified minimum curve radius is 358 mm.

The Prototype: To Southeastern Europe with the Bosporus Package

Selected locomotives of the ÖBB Class 1116 were equipped with additional train control systems and technical modifications for an expanded area of operation in Southeast Europe. This equipment package, known as the Bosporus Package, enables operations in Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, among other countries. It thus supports cross-border freight traffic, allowing longer transport routes to be covered without changing locomotives.

A Locomotive for Your Era VI Freight Trains

Use the locomotive as the starting point for a train set based on your preferred prototypical scenario. For example, plan a freight train journey between a transfer yard and a double-track main line. Matching Era VI freight cars complete the theme.

When putting together your train, consider not only the couplers but also the required track radii of the cars and the available length of your station tracks. This will allow you to integrate your new train seamlessly into your existing layout.
