Roco 7510142 H0 Electric locomotive E 16 09, DRG, Ep. II, DC sound: Historical masterpiece of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The Roco 7510142 H0 electric locomotive E 16 09 from the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) is an excellent replica of the legendary E 16 09, which was introduced into express train service on the Bavarian network around Munich at the beginning of the 1920s. With the finest details, a faithful reproduction of the Buchli drive and modern digital equipment, this model is a must for collectors and model railroaders who want to recreate the history of German railroad technology.

The prototype: DRG electric locomotive E 16 09

In the early 1920s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft was looking for powerful electric locomotives for express train service in the Bavarian region. The locomotives of the E 16 series were developed to meet the high requirements. Due to the successful use of Buchli-type single-axle drives in Switzerland on the Ae 3/6 I series, the Reichsbahn decided to equip the E 16 with this innovative drive. The locomotives reached a top speed of 120 km/h and an hourly output of 2,340 kW. They were primarily used for express and fast trains, which mainly ran between Munich and Austria.

Finely detailed model with digital functions

The Roco 7510142 H0 electric locomotive E 16 09 impresses with its excellent attention to detail. The model has separately attached plug-in parts that create a realistic look. Particularly noteworthy is the faithful reproduction of the Buchli drive, which makes the model outstanding both functionally and visually. The engine room and driver's cab are printed, which provides additional realism. The locomotive is equipped with numerous functions in digital operation, including individually switchable headlights or marker lights, cab lighting and engine room lighting to make the model appear even more alive.

Technical features and lighting

The model is designed for operation with 2L direct current (DC) and uses the latest LED technology to ensure long-lasting and efficient lighting. The light changes between red and white, which makes the model more realistic for different operating conditions. The locomotive has a length over buffers (LüP) of 187 mm and requires a minimum radius of 360 mm. The NEM coupling system with close coupling kinematics ensures a reliable and stable connection with other vehicles. This means you can easily integrate the model into your model railroad layout.

Why this model is an enrichment for your collection

The Roco 7510142 H0 electric locomotive E 16 09 is a valuable asset for model railroaders who are interested in the history of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the development of electric locomotives. With its high level of detail and digital functions, this locomotive not only offers historical authenticity, but also modern operating functions that bring the model to life on the model railroad. It is perfect for model railroad layouts that want to recreate the historic express train service of Era II.

Care and maintenance

Maintenance of the model is easy as it is equipped with maintenance-free LEDs. However, to maximize performance, the wheels should be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth operation. Dust can be carefully removed with a soft brush, while the clutches and mechanical parts should be checked regularly. This care will help to ensure that the model remains in excellent condition for many years to come.

Conclusion: An indispensable model for railroad enthusiasts

The Roco 7510142 H0 electric locomotive E 16 09 is an outstanding model that perfectly reflects the development of electric locomotives in Germany. With its excellent attention to detail, digital functions and faithful reproduction of the Buchli drive, this locomotive is an absolute must for model railroaders who want to recreate the DRG's historic express train service. It is a valuable addition to any collection and an enrichment for any model railroad layout that wants to bring Era II to life.
