Description

Roco 7520106 H0 Electric locomotive 155 006-0, DR, Ep. V, AC sound: The "power container" for your model railroad

The Roco 7520106 H0 electric locomotive 155 006-0 is an impressive replica of the heavy freight locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). With its characteristic oriental red paintwork, digital functions and AC sound, this locomotive brings the flair of Era V to your AC model railway layout in true detail. Perfect for use in front of heavy freight trains or as a collector's item, this model impresses with its technical and visual precision.

The prototype: The class 155 - top performer of the DR

The Deutsche Reichsbahn introduced the class 250 (later the class 155) from 1977 in order to meet the increasing demands of freight traffic. A total of 270 locomotives were built in this series, which were nicknamed "Strom-Container" or "Brick" due to their angular design. Their hourly output of 5,400 kW and the maximum permissible speed of 120 km/h made them a reliable locomotive for heavy freight train services.

The 155 006 locomotive was part of this successful series and shaped the image of the DR on its main lines for decades. Even after German reunification, it remained in service and became a universal workhorse in freight traffic.

Model features and digital functions

The Roco 7520106 locomotive impresses with its detailed design and innovative technology. The filigree pantographs and finely engraved bogies emphasize the high-quality workmanship. In digital operation, the model has individually switchable headlights and marker lights as well as cab lighting. The integrated AC sound decoder provides a realistic sound experience that makes operation on your layout even more authentic.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the striking oriental red livery of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and has true-to-original DR lettering. The precise printing and the authentic reproduction of the design make this model a visual highlight on your H0 layout.

Technical details and compatibility

The model is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 3-wire alternating current system (AC). With a length over buffers (LüP) of 225 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for a wide variety of layouts. Thanks to the NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics (KK kinematics), the locomotive can be easily integrated into existing train formations.

Care and maintenance

The Roco 7520106 is low-maintenance and robust. The maintenance-free LED lamps ensure reliable lighting, while the wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum functionality. Occasional lubrication of moving parts contributes to long-term operational reliability.

Conclusion: A classic for heavy goods traffic

The Roco 7520106 H0 electric locomotive 155 006-0 is an absolute highlight for any AC model railway layout. With its authentic design, digital functions and high-quality sound, it is the perfect choice for fans of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and heavy freight traffic. This model combines historical accuracy and modern technology in perfect harmony.
