Roco 7510060 H0 Electric locomotive 1144 078-3, ÖBB, Ep. VI, DC sound: Technical perfection with digital innovation

The Roco 7510060 H0 electric locomotive 1144 078-3 is a masterpiece of the art of model making, combining detailed reproduction and state-of-the-art technology. Equipped with digital sound, switchable high beam and individually controllable cab lighting, this model brings the fascination of ÖBB Era VI to your model railroad layout. This locomotive is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also a powerful locomotive for passenger and freight trains.

The prototype: The ÖBB class 1144

The history of the 1144 series begins with the introduction of the 1044 series, which was procured by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) between 1976 and 1995. A total of 217 of these four-axle thyristor locomotives were built. With an output of 5,120 kW and a top speed of 160 km/h, the series set standards in modern railroad technology and shaped the image of the ÖBB for decades.

The 1044 078 was modernized in 2001 and was given the characteristic Valousek design. In April 2010, the locomotive was redesignated as the 1144 series and equipped with reversible train control. Since then, it has been operating as 91 81 1144 078-3 both in domestic traffic and cross-border to Germany, often in front of fast passenger trains and heavy freight trains.

Outstanding features of the model

The Roco 7510060 electric locomotive 1144 078-3 impresses with numerous technical features that make the model a highlight for model railway layouts. The roof design with continuous jet fans (Klatte grille) and the type VI Ub pantographs have been precisely implemented. In digital operation, the high beam, headlights and marker lights as well as the cab lighting can be switched individually. The high-quality sound decoder also provides a realistic sound experience that makes operation on the layout even more authentic.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the striking Valousek livery of ÖBB Era VI. Clear lines and precise printing give the model an elegant appearance, while fine details such as lettering and buffer beams underline the authenticity. The LED lighting ensures a prototypical light change in red and white, which also enhances the model's appearance.

Technical details and compatibility

The model is designed for the H0 gauge (scale 1:87) and the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 185 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for use on a wide variety of layouts. The NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) allow easy integration into existing train sets and ensure prototypical car spacing.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7510060 electric locomotive is robust and low-maintenance. The LED lights are maintenance-free, while the wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum functionality. These measures ensure that the model remains in perfect condition even during intensive operation.

Conclusion: An indispensable model for digital layouts

The Roco 7510060 H0 electric locomotive 1144 078-3 combines technical innovation and historical authenticity in an outstanding model. With its digital functions, authentic sound and precise reproduction, this locomotive is a highlight for discerning model railroaders. Whether as a powerful tractor unit or as an eye-catcher on your layout - this locomotive is a perfect choice for any H0 model railway layout.
