Description

Roco 7510101 H0 Re 486 501-0 electric locomotive, BLS Cargo, Ep. VI, DC sound: An impressive locomotive for your model railway layout

The Roco electric locomotive Re 486 501-0 from BLS Cargo represents one of the most powerful and modern locomotives in international Alpine traffic. With precise DC sound, digital functions and a detailed design, this model offers everything that makes a model railroader's heart beat faster.

The prototype: Re 486 501-0 - Powerful across the Alps

The Re 486 501-0 is part of a series of ten multi-system locomotives ordered by BLS Cargo in September 2007 for international freight traffic. These locomotives are designed for operation across the Alps and on cross-border routes in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy. Despite the need for ETCS equipment, the locomotives were delivered without this system before being retrofitted at a later date. The Re 486 501-0 is the only locomotive in the series to bear the coat of arms of the village of Beura Cardezza and was redesigned in spring 2022 with an alpinist above a crevasse. This model perfectly captures the history and design of this powerful locomotive.

Detailed design and digital functions

The model of the Roco 7510101 H0 electric locomotive Re 486 501-0 impresses with a multitude of details, which were created with separately attached plug-in parts and partly using etching technology. Particularly noteworthy is the rail scraper on the chassis, which optimizes the model for realistic use in the mountains. In digital mode, the locomotive has switchable high beam and individually switchable headlights and taillights, which can be activated via a DIP switch to adapt the model to different operating conditions.

Technical features and lighting

The locomotive runs on direct current (DC) and is equipped with high-quality LED lighting that allows the light to change between red and white. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 217 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is perfect for use on H0 layouts. The NEM coupling system with close coupling kinematics ensures reliable and stable coupling with other vehicles. The model also supports the use of digital control options that make the driving experience even more realistic.

Why this model is an asset to your collection

The Roco Re 486 501-0 is an excellent choice for model railroaders who want to realistically recreate modern cross-border freight traffic across the Alps. With its precise design, digital functions and authentic DC sound, this model is a must for anyone who is enthusiastic about Swiss railroad technology and international freight traffic. The model is ideally suited for use on digital layouts as well as on classic H0 tracks.

Care and maintenance

The LEDs and the sound decoder are maintenance-free, but the wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth operation. The intricate details and precise paintwork require careful handling. Dust can be carefully removed with a soft brush to preserve the brilliant appearance of the model and ensure long-term operation.

Conclusion: A technical masterpiece for your model railroad

With the Roco 7510101 H0 electric locomotive Re 486 501-0, you are getting one of the most powerful and detailed locomotives in international freight transportation on your model railroad. The excellent digital functions, the realistic lighting and the precise sound make this model an excellent choice for all those who want to represent Alpine traffic and Switzerland in their model railroad world.
