Description

Roco 7520159 H0 Electric locomotive Re 4/4 172, BLS, Ep. VI, AC sound - Swiss BLS classic with digital sound for AC layouts

The Roco 7520159 brings the traditional BLS Re 4/4 172 in its final operating phase to your H0 layout as a fully digitized AC version. With digitally switchable high beam, Swiss light change, authentic sound, fine engine room and scissor pantograph, the model is not only visually impressive, but also technically impressive across the board.

Technical progress meets model tradition

The locomotives classified as Re 4/4 from 1964 replaced obsolete machines on the BLS network. Unlike SBB, BLS opted for modern technology with silicon rectifiers and shaft current motors. The Re 4/4 172, built by SLM and BBC, was used for both passenger and freight services - on BLS, GBS, SEZ and BN lines as well as adjacent to the SBB.

Digital sound package and lighting control

Equipped with a PluX22 sound decoder, the model offers realistic operating sounds. The Swiss headlights are LED-based, and the main beam can also be controlled separately digitally - as can other lighting functions. Ideal for demanding model railroaders who want to combine operational reliability and faithfulness to the prototype.

Detailed implementation for the highest demands

The locomotive is shown in its final operating state with a short bumper, fine wheelsets with low wheel flanges and the typical resistor grille on the roof. The multicolored reproduction of the engine room is a real highlight for all BLS fans, as are the engraved decorative line and the "Eggerberg" coat of arms.
