Description

Roco 7510144 H0 Electric locomotive BB 25182, SNCF, Ep. IV, DC sound: French versatility with digital sound

The Roco 7510144 H0 electric locomotive BB 25182 is a detailed replica of the classic multi-system locomotive BB 25100 of the French State Railways (SNCF). With integrated digital sound and switchable light functions, this model is a perfect choice for model railroaders who appreciate Era IV and the elegance of French railroad technology.

The prototype: The BB 25100 - reliability in mixed service

The BB 25100 series belongs to the Jacquemin family, a series of versatile electric locomotives. These machines were specially developed for mixed service and are designed for a maximum speed of 130 km/h. Thanks to their ability to use both 1.5 kV direct current and 25 kV/50 Hz alternating current, they are particularly flexible in use.

The BB 25182 shown in this model belongs to the 'Savoie' replica version from Alsthom. These locomotives are characterized by an interrupted light grey stripe on the side walls and were produced in several delivery series between 1964 and 1976.

Digital features and technical highlights

This model is equipped with a high-quality digital sound decoder that provides realistic operating sounds. In digital operation, the headlights and marker lights can be switched individually, ensuring prototypical lighting.

The 'Savoie' replica version is true to detail, including the characteristic light gray stripe and precisely designed roof superstructures. The robust but elegant shapes of the locomotive make it a real eye-catcher on your model railway layout.

Color scheme and design

The model impresses with its prototypical color scheme and printing. The typical SNCF colors and the interrupted light gray stripe emphasize the authentic appearance of the locomotive. This high-quality design makes the model an elegant addition to any collection.

Technical details and compatibility

The locomotive is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 186 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the model is ideal for versatile use on your layout. The NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics) ensure problem-free integration into train formations.

Care and maintenance

The Roco BB 25182 is low-maintenance and durable. The maintenance-free LED lamps ensure reliable lighting. Wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to maintain the quality of operation. Moving parts can be easily lubricated if necessary.

Conclusion: SNCF versatility and technology

The Roco 7510144 H0 electric locomotive BB 25182 combines French engineering skills with modern digital technology. With its realistic sound and switchable light functions, it is a perfect addition to any model railway layout of Era IV. Get this model and enjoy the versatility and elegance of the SNCF on your layout.
