Description

Roco 7510116 H0 DB electric locomotive 151 051-0 with DC sound: The freight train legend of Era IV

The Roco 7510116 H0 electric locomotive 151 051-0 from the German Federal Railroad (DB) is a high-quality model that impresses with its integrated sound function and digitally switchable lighting effects. This class 151 locomotive represents the technical strength and versatility of the freight train service in Era IV and is a must for demanding model railroaders.

The prototype: The class 151

The class 151 was put into service by the German Federal Railroad in 1973 especially for heavy freight train service. With an output of 5982 kW and a top speed of 120 km/h, it was one of the most powerful electric locomotives of its time. Its design was based on proven elements of the 110, 140, 150 and 103 series to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. Three removable hoods between the driver's cabs facilitated maintenance and the replacement of larger components.

The locomotives of this series were not only used in Germany, but also regularly in Austria, which underlines their versatility and high performance.

The railroad company: Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB)

In Era IV, the Deutsche Bundesbahn modernized its fleet in order to meet the growing demands of freight transport. The class 151 played a key role in this and was synonymous with reliability and strength in freight train services for decades.

Era IV: The time of progress

Era IV (1965-1990) marks the wave of modernization in rail transport, during which powerful locomotives such as the class 151 were introduced. This model brings the spirit of this era to your model railway layout in an authentic way.

Color scheme and design

The Roco 7510116 locomotive impresses with its typical Era IV colors of the German Federal Railroad. Many attached plug-in parts, some using etching technology, and the wheels with low wheel flanges ensure a realistic appearance. The pantograph drive without cover and the digitally switchable driver's cab lighting underline the attention to detail.
