Roco 7520120 H0 Electric locomotive 484 021-1, SBB Cargo, Ep. VI, AC sound: Modern technology for freight transportation

The Roco 7520120 H0 electric locomotive 484 021-1 brings the impressive world of modern freight transportation directly to your model railway layout. This model is a faithful reproduction of the SBB Cargo locomotive 484 021, which was in service with SBB Cargo International between 2018 and 2020. With its digital control, AC sound and switchable light, this locomotive is a highlight for discerning model railroaders.

The prototype: The Re 484 021 - a versatile locomotive type

The Re 484 021 is an indispensable part of today's SBB Cargo freight traffic. The locomotive was used throughout Switzerland in all areas of freight transportation, from heavy long-distance freight trains to short general cargo connections. Its use on the north-south transversal, where it provided the connection between the large marshalling yards, is particularly striking.

The 484 021 locomotive is the last of its series and commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Gotthard Railway in 2007. This model shows the locomotive in operating condition during its service with SBB Cargo International, including the typical lettering under the doors and the ETCS system installed between 2017 and 2018.

Modern features and digital control

The Roco 7520120 model is equipped with the latest digital technology. In digital operation, the locomotive offers switchable high beam as well as individually controllable headlights and taillights, which enable a realistic lighting atmosphere. The integrated AC sound decoder provides authentic operating sounds and makes the model an acoustic highlight. With its precise implementation and innovative features, this locomotive is an impressive example of contemporary model-making technology.

Color scheme and design

The locomotive is painted in the typical SBB Cargo livery, which is complemented by precise printing and fine details. The lettering under the doors and the authentic design of the roof superstructure and buffer beams underline the model's attention to detail. This locomotive is a visual eye-catcher on any 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 217 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the locomotive is suitable for use on 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 7520120 is low-maintenance and robust. The maintenance-free LED light sources guarantee reliable lighting. The wheels and couplings should be cleaned regularly for optimum functionality. Occasional lubrication of moving parts contributes to long-term operational reliability.

Conclusion: A must for modern AC model railroad layouts

The Roco 7520120 H0 electric locomotive 484 021-1 is a perfect combination of technical innovation and authentic design. With its digital control, high-quality sound decoder and faithful reproduction, it is a highlight for every model railroader. This locomotive brings the fascination of modern freight traffic to your layout in an impressive way.
