Roco 7510169 H0 Electric locomotive 482 020-5, SBB Cargo International, Era VI, DC sound: State-of-the-art technology in 'Alppiercer' design

The Roco electric locomotive 482 020-5 from SBB Cargo International combines the advanced technology of the TRAXX locomotives with a breathtaking 'Alppiercer' design. Equipped with high-quality digital and sound functions, this model offers a realistic driving experience and is a highlight on any H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: TRAXX platform and the Re 482

The TRAXX locomotive platform from the manufacturer Bombardier is a central component of modern transportation concepts of many railroad companies. The Re 482 series, which is used in Switzerland for cross-border freight traffic, is one of these universal locomotives. The first units were put into service in spring 2002 and have since proven their efficiency and reliability. In March 2024, locomotive 482 020 was given the name 'Europa' and incorporated into an eye-catching design as part of the 'Alppiercer' family.

Detailed design and digital highlights

The model is characterized by its elaborate printing in the 'Alppiercer' design, which was developed in cooperation with Railcolor-Design. The fine roof design and the rail scraper attached to the chassis underline the high level of detail of the model. In digital operation, the locomotive offers switchable high beam, individually switchable headlights or marker lights and cab lighting. These functions provide a realistic and authentic driving experience.

Technical features and digital functions

The locomotive is equipped with a modern digital decoder and a realistic sound module that reproduces operating sounds such as driving and braking noises as well as signal horns. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free LEDs that allow the light to change between red and white. Thanks to the NEM coupling system with close coupling kinematics, the model can be used flexibly and is suitable for all H0 layouts with a minimum radius of 360 mm. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 217 mm, it fits ideally into modern train formations.

Why this model is an enrichment for your collection

The Roco 7510169 H0 electric locomotive 482 020-5 impresses with its impressive combination of modern design, technical perfection and faithful reproduction.
