The Roco 7520089 electric locomotive 9902 is an exclusive model of the 1600 series that was created in cooperation with ROCO. With its eye-catching design, this electric locomotive with the motifs from the children's book series "Tommie and Tess" is a real ambassador locomotive. The lovingly designed sides make this model a highlight on every model railroad layout and an indispensable collector's item for every model railroad enthusiast. Thanks to the integrated sound decoder and AC alternating current control, this model sets new standards both visually and technically.
The original 9902 locomotive was delivered to the Dutch State Railways (NS) in 1981 under the designation 1616. In the course of the reorganization of NS, in which passenger and freight traffic were separated, the locomotive was assigned to the NS-Cargo freight division. NS Cargo was later taken over by DB Cargo, which continued to use these locomotives for freight transport. In 2020, the last locomotives of the 1600 series were finally taken out of service at DB Cargo. Six of these locomotives, including the former 1616, were sold to the asset company RXP Tracte B.V., which belongs to the Railexperts Group. Here, the locomotive was given a new number and registered as locomotive 9902.
The connection to its sister locomotive 9901, previously known as Locon 9901, is particularly interesting. Railexperts continued this tradition by using the 1616 under the new designation 9902. Today, locomotive 9902 is used both for its own operations and leased to other rail transport companies (RUs). It thus remains an integral part of European rail traffic.
The Dutch company Railexperts offers a wide range of services in the field of rail transportation. These range from the traction of special passenger trains to locomotive and railcar transfers and last-mile services in freight transport. Particularly noteworthy are the approval and test runs that the company carries out. In addition, Railexperts offers a 24/7 control center service that monitors and coordinates the traffic movements of various RUs.
By purchasing and refurbishing the class 1600 locomotives, including locomotive 9902, Railexperts is demonstrating how historic machines can be successfully integrated into modern rail operations. The combination of tradition and modernity is also reflected in the design of this locomotive, which is given a special charm by the child-friendly motifs from "Tommie and Tess".
The model of the Roco 7520089 electric locomotive 9902 impresses with its exact replica of the original 1600 series locomotive. This AC model was designed for use on AC model railway layouts and offers a variety of technical refinements that make it an indispensable model for collectors and railroad fans. With a length of 201 mm over buffers, the model fits perfectly into H0 layouts.
A special highlight is the integrated PluX22 digital decoder (MS450P22) with sound function. This decoder makes it possible to control the locomotive digitally and use a variety of realistic sound effects that make operation on the model railway layout even more authentic. The interior lighting and the cab lighting can be switched digitally, which offers additional flexibility in operation. The locomotive lighting changes between 3 headlights and 2 tail lights depending on the direction of travel, so that the lighting also reflects the authentic operation of the locomotive.
The locomotive has a shaft for NEM 362 couplers with close coupler kinematics, which makes smooth operation possible. Particularly worth mentioning are the many separately attached plug-in parts, some of which have been produced using filigree etching technology. These details give the model a particularly high-quality look.
Another technical highlight is the buffer capacitor, which ensures uninterrupted operation even if the power supply is briefly interrupted. The innovative attachment of the pantograph also ensures a secure hold and precise contact with the overhead line.
The Roco 7520089 electric locomotive 9902 is an absolute must-have for all model railroaders who are looking for an AC model with a sound function. Its eye-catching design, based on the popular children's books "Tommie and Tess", makes it a real eye-catcher on any model railway layout.
