Description

Roco 7520104 H0 Electric locomotive 1293 905-6, DPB, Ep. VI, AC sound: A modern powerhouse with digital perfection

The Roco 7520104 H0 electric locomotive 1293 905-6 brings state-of-the-art railroad technology and impressive AC sound to your model railway layout. This detailed replica of the Vectron locomotive from DPB Rail Infra Service GmbH is equipped with digitally controllable high beam, individually switchable head and tail lights and cab lighting. Its versatility and high-quality workmanship make it an indispensable highlight for model railroaders with AC systems.

The prototype: Advanced technology for freight traffic

DPB Rail Infra Service GmbH has been operating as an independent rail transport company specializing in freight transport and construction site logistics since 2018. In order to meet the requirements of international freight transport, DPB put three of the six Vectron MS locomotives of the A17 variant it had ordered into operation in 2024. These locomotives are specially designed for cross-border operations and feature state-of-the-art technology, such as a new contact strip for Italian traffic as well as optimized rail scrapers and sandboxes.

Model features: Innovative and rich in detail

The Roco 7520104 model is an exact replica of the Vectron locomotive 1293 905. It has an elaborately designed roof structure and new contact strips for Italian traffic. With digitally controllable light functions such as high beam and cab lighting as well as a powerful sound decoder, the model offers a realistic driving experience that appeals to all the senses.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the modern livery of DPB Rail Infra Service GmbH. Clear lines, precise lettering and high-quality printing reflect the contemporary character of Era VI. The LED lighting ensures a prototypical light change between red tail lights and white headlights and underlines the visual perfection of the model.

Technical details and compatibility

The locomotive is designed for the H0 scale (scale 1:87) and the 3-wire alternating current system (AC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 218 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for a wide variety of layout configurations. Thanks to the NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics), it fits easily into existing train formations and ensures prototypical spacing.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7520104 is low-maintenance and designed for a long service life. The maintenance-free LED lights and precision manufacturing guarantee reliable operation. Wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum running characteristics. An occasional check and lubrication of the moving parts contributes to long-lasting functionality.

Conclusion: A must-have for digital AC systems

The Roco 7520104 H0 electric locomotive 1293 905-6 is a technical masterpiece that will shine in any model railroad collection. With its impressive attention to detail, versatile digital functions and powerful sound, it is ideal for demanding model railroaders. Whether in freight service or as an eye-catcher - this model sets standards in function and design.
