Roco 7510011 Electric locomotive 186 295-2, Railpool, Ep. VI: A colorful comeback for your H0 layout

The Roco 7510011 186 295-2 electric loc omotive is an exact replica of one of the best-known locomotives from the "Lineas" company. This locomotive, which stands out with its colorful design, is a real highlight for any H0 model railway layout. With its impressive length over buffers of 217 mm and extensive technical functions, including a factory-installed digital decoder and separately switchable light functions, the 186 295-2 brings authentic Era VI freight train traffic to your layout.

The prototype: The 186 295-2 electric locomotive and Lineas

The 186 295-2 electric loc omotive is part of the TRAXX locomotive family and was developed for cross-border freight traffic in Europe. The locomotive is operated by Lineas, a subsidiary of the Belgian state railroads (SNCB) founded in 2017, which specializes in rail freight transport. SNCB's logistics division was previously known under various names such as B Cargo or B Logistics. After an accident at a level crossing in 2017, in which the 186 295 suffered considerable damage, it was put back into service in February 2019 - this time with a new, eye-catching design with colorful stripes that sets it apart from other locomotives.

Roco: model making at the highest level

The model train manufacturer Roco is known for its detailed and high-quality models. The Roco 7510011 impresses with its precise workmanship and the authentic reproduction of the 186 295-2 locomotive in the eye-catching Lineas design. The model has numerous separately attached plug-in parts, some of which are made using etching technology, giving the locomotive a particularly realistic appearance. The prototypical roof with the four pantographs and the colorful stripe pattern make this model a real eye-catcher on the layout.

Technical details and functions of the Roco 186 295-2

The Roco 7510011 is equipped with the latest technology to ensure a realistic driving experience. The 5-pole motor ensures high tractive power and smooth running of the locomotive. Four of the axles are powered and one of the axles is equipped with traction tires to increase tractive power. The model is designed for digital operation and has a PluX22 interface that is equipped with a factory-installed MX645P22 digital decoder. This enables precise control of the locomotive and its light functions in digital operation.

The locomotive has 3 headlights and 2 marker lights that change over depending on the direction of travel. In digital operation, these light functions can be switched individually, as can the high beam, which provides even more authenticity on the layout. Thanks to the close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) in accordance with NEM 362, realistic train formations can be formed, which is particularly advantageous when operating with freight trains.

A versatile model for cross-border freight traffic

The Roco 7510011 electric locomotive 186 295-2 is not only a visual highlight, but also technically well-equipped for cross-border operation on European freight train routes. The locomotive is operated by Railpool and is used both in Belgium and in neighboring countries. Thanks to its powerful engine and sophisticated design, it is ideal for use in heavy freight traffic. The enclosed decal with the Lineas logo makes it possible to further individualize the model as desired.

Conclusion: A real gem for your H0 layout

The Roco 7510011 186 295-2 is a locomotive that impresses both visually and technically at the highest level. With its eye-catching design, the extensive technical functions and the detailed reproduction of the prototype locomotive, it fits perfectly into any modern H0 layout of Era VI. Whether in use on freight train routes or as a single item on the layout - this locomotive provides a realistic driving experience and is guaranteed to attract everyone's attention.
