Description

Roco 7520105 H0 Electric locomotive Re 6/6 11673, SBB, Era V-VI, AC sound: Swiss precision with impressive digital technology

The Roco electric locomotive Re 6/6 11673 from the Swiss Federal Railways combines historical authenticity with the latest digital technology. Equipped with a powerful AC sound decoder and realistic Swiss-style lighting functions, this model brings the strength and elegance of one of Switzerland's best-known locomotives to your H0 model railway layout.

The prototype: The Re 6/6 and its history

The Re 6/6, developed for heavy service on the Gotthard, was first put into operation in 1972. With an impressive hourly output of 7,850 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, it was a worthy successor to the Ae 6/6 and is still one of SBB's most powerful locomotives today. The Re 6/6 11673, named after the town of Cham, was inaugurated on May 12, 1979. After almost 40 years in service, it was decommissioned in 2015 following an accident at Erstfeld station. However, the "Cham" emblem lives on on the Re 4/4 11278 and preserves the memory of this impressive locomotive.

Detailed design and digital highlights

The locomotive impresses with its prototypical design with angular lamps, an air conditioning system and intricate etched parts such as ventilation grilles and windshield wipers. In digital operation, the locomotive offers extensive lighting functions that realistically simulate operation according to the Swiss prototype. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 222 mm, the model fits harmoniously into H0 train formations and becomes a visual highlight on your layout.

Technical features and digital functions

The model is equipped with a modern AC sound decoder that produces realistic operating sounds such as driving and braking noises. 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 locomotive can be used flexibly and is compatible with all H0 track systems with a minimum radius of 360 mm. The extensive lighting functions and the impressive sound make this locomotive a technical masterpiece.

Why this model is an enrichment for your collection
