Roco 7510019 electric locomotive 189 993-9, MRCE/SBB CI, Ep. VI

H0 Electric locomotive MRCE 189 993 - Siemens Dispolok design | Era VI | 2L digital with PluX22

The MRCE 189 993 is a particularly striking one-off in international freight traffic. As one of only three remaining locomotives in the historic yellow and silver Dispolok design from Siemens, it has been in service with SBB Cargo International since 2021. In north-south traffic from the Netherlands to Italy, it stands for cross-border performance - and now brings an extra portion of locomotive character to your layout in H0 scale.

Design & workmanship

The model impresses with a finely detailed realization of the legendary yellow/silver paint scheme of the former Siemens Dispolok. The roof design with four pantographs is just as true to the original as the many separately applied plug-in parts that visually enhance the model. The current MRCE logo emphasizes the modern integration into the operating events of Era VI.

Technical features & special functions

The headlights and marker lights can be switched separately in digital mode. The 3 headlights / 2 marker lights system works depending on the direction of travel and is equipped with LEDs. The combination of a 5-pole motor, four powered axles and a traction tire ensures high tractive power and smooth operation.
