Roco 7510170 H0 Re 4/4 III 43 electric locomotive - DC sound model of the SOB with private railroad charm

With the Roco 7510170 Re 4/4 III 43 electric locomotive, Roco presents a DC sound model of the famous Swiss Re 4/4 - in the version of the Schweizerische Südostbahn AG (SOB). The locomotive belongs to Era IV-V and impresses with its striking design with round private railroad headlights, new rear-view mirrors, rectangular buffers and the "Rothenthurm" emblem. Technically, it is designed to meet the highest demands - with extensive digital and sound equipment.

Technology for demanding model railroaders

The locomotive is equipped with a PluX22 sound decoder and offers extensive digital features:

• Switchable headlights/tail lights with typical Swiss light changes
• LED cab lighting and engine room lighting, digitally switchable
• Interior lighting in LED technology
• Buffer capacitor for uninterruptible power supply

With four powered axles, traction tires and an integrated flywheel, the locomotive also impresses in terms of handling and tractive power. Coupling is via NEM 362 with close coupling kinematics - ideal for tight radii from 358 mm.

Shape variant with typical SOB features

This version of the Re 4/4 III has a new front with large round headlights, new rear-view mirrors and rectangular buffers for shuttle operation. The SOB used these locomotives on steep lines with up to 50 ‰ - including the famous Voralpen-Express. Company number 43 was one of the locomotives taken over by SBB in 1983 and was used in a variety of express, freight and construction train services.

Historical background - The "Golden Chair" of the SOB

The SOB's Re 4/4 III was affectionately known as the "Golden Chair" due to its yellow lettering and striking appearance. It was the backbone of SOB traction in the 1980s and 1990s and was also regularly used beyond its own network. In 1994-96, the four SOB locomotives returned to SBB - a piece of railroad history that comes to life with this model.
