Description

Roco 7520124 H0 Electric locomotive E 44 107, DB, Ep. III, AC sound: Historic electric locomotive of the German Federal Railroad

The Roco 7520124 H0 electric locomotive E 44 107 is a masterful model of the E 44 series of the German Federal Railroad and a real highlight for model train enthusiasts and collectors. This locomotive represents the power and design of the 1930s to 1950s and offers not only attention to detail, but also impressive digital functions that bring the historic charm of the E 44 to life.

The prototype: Class E 44 of the German Federal Railroad

The E 44 class was used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and later the Deutsche Bundesbahn from 1932 to 1954 in a total of almost 200 units. From 1968 it became known as the class 144. These four-axle bogie locomotives had an output of around 2,200 kW and a top speed of 90 km/h. They were mainly used in express trains. They were mainly used for express trains and freight traffic and were known for their reliability and versatility. The E 44 was one of the first locomotives to be developed on the basis of the Reichsbahn standard design and shaped the image of German rail transport for several decades.

The model: true to detail and modern functions

The Roco 7520124 H0 electric locomotive E 44 107 model impresses with a multitude of functional and visual details:

It is equipped with the characteristic large lamps of the Reichsbahn standard design, which reflect the typical design of the E 44 series. The pantograph type SBS 10 is also a striking feature that has been faithfully reproduced. Further details such as the extra windscreen wipers and the unobstructed view through the driver's cab ensure a particularly realistic appearance. The wheel sets with low wheel flanges contribute to the locomotive rolling excellently on model railroad layouts.

For model railroaders who value digital control, the model also offers switchable cab and engine room lighting that can be activated via the digital control system. These functions enable an even more realistic representation when the locomotive is in operation.

Technical features and coupling system

The model is designed for operation with 3L alternating current (AC). It is equipped with a coupling shaft in accordance with NEM, which allows easy integration into your model railroad world. The KK kinematics ensure that the model remains in operation without any problems even on tight radii. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 176 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the E 44 fits perfectly into all standard H0 layouts. The use of this model on an Era III model railroad is therefore possible without restrictions.

Digital functions and lighting

The Roco 7520124 H0 electric locomotive E 44 107 offers a variety of digital functions that make the model particularly attractive. The high beam can be switched via the digital control system and the head and tail lights can be controlled individually. These functions not only provide more realism, but also make the locomotive a technical highlight. In addition, the LED lighting ensures uniform and energy-efficient illumination of the locomotive without the need for maintenance.

Care and maintenance

Maintenance of this model is uncomplicated. Regular cleaning of the wheelsets and bogies helps to maintain the running performance and driving behavior on the model railroad. The LED lighting requires no special maintenance, while the digital control system can be checked regularly for updates. The use of a soft brush for the regular removal of dust ensures that the model always remains in the best possible condition.

Conclusion: A classic for every model railway layout

The Roco 7520124 H0 electric locomotive E 44 107 is a masterpiece of model making. It not only offers outstanding attention to detail and authentic functions, but also outstanding performance on your model railroad. The combination of historical accuracy, modern functions and high-quality design makes it a must-have for model railroaders who want to recreate Era III. Its use as a traction engine in front of passenger trains and freight trains brings a new dimension to your model railroad world.
