Roco 7520141 H0 Electric locomotive 4016, CFL, Ep. VI, AC sound: The modern electric locomotive for the highest demands

The Roco 7520141 H0 electric locomotive 4016 represents the latest railroad technology in an exquisite replica for the H0 scale. This locomotive from the Luxembourg state railroad CFL combines technical innovation, digital functions and high-quality workmanship to create an incomparable model railroad experience. With a light change in red and white, realistic sound effects and digitally switchable high beam, it is a highlight for every lover of Era VI.

The prototype of the Roco 7520141: The TRAXX AC1

The TRAXX AC1 was developed by Bombardier to meet the increasing demands of international freight and passenger transportation. "TRAXX" stands for "Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility" and symbolizes the versatility and flexibility of this series. The 185.1 series, from which the TRAXX AC1 was derived, is specially designed for the two AC voltage systems commonly used in Europe (15 kV/16.67 Hz and 25 kV/50 Hz).

Between 2004 and 2005, 20 P140AC1 locomotives were delivered to the Luxembourg state railroad CFL. With a continuous output of 5.6 MW, a top speed of 140 km/h and a weight of 84 tons, they set standards in modern railroad technology. The 4016 locomotive, which serves as the prototype for this model, is an outstanding example of this series.

The Luxembourg State Railroad (CFL) in Era VI

The CFL (Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois) is known for its innovative spirit and reliability. In Era VI, which has been in force since 2007, the CFL has further modernized its fleet in order to meet the requirements of international rail transport. Locomotives such as the 4016 reflect this development and combine efficiency, modern design and technical excellence.
