Roco 7590044 Product Details

Unmistakable S-Bahn Livery in Pebble Grey and Orange

The Class 111 in S-Bahn livery is one of the most striking colour variants of this versatile electric locomotive. A broad orange band runs around the pebble-grey locomotive body, giving it its unmistakable local passenger service character.

The design is complemented by the red DB logo. Together with matching S-Bahn coaches, it creates a typical train from the Bundesbahn era that stands out clearly from conventional express and regional passenger formations.

DC Sound Brings Bundesbahn Operations to Life

The Roco 7590044 DC sound model is aimed at modellers who want to experience this distinctive S-Bahn train through sound as well as appearance. The sound equipment adds atmosphere in digital operation and makes the Class 111 feel even more lifelike as it runs.

A sound-equipped locomotive really comes into its own during the frequent acceleration and braking of an S-Bahn service. Station stops, journeys between stations and push-pull operation all gain an extra dimension.

Switchable Headlights and Tail Lights

In digital operation, the Roco 111 147 features switchable headlights and tail lights. This allows the lighting to be adjusted to suit different operating situations.

This function is particularly useful for push-pull services. The Class 111 can remain at one end of the train while the formation is driven in the opposite direction from the driving trailer. Appropriate lighting helps recreate prototypical operation.

Switchable Engine Room Lighting

An additional highlight of the sound version is the digitally switchable engine room lighting. It shows off the multi-coloured engine room to great effect, revealing details that are much less noticeable in an unlit locomotive.

This creates an attractive effect, particularly at dusk or in a dimly lit layout room. The combination of a multi-coloured engine room and lighting enhances the model's appeal both while running and during a station stop.

Finely Detailed Roof Equipment

The roof area of the Roco 7590044 is also finely detailed. Roof equipment is an important part of an electric locomotive's characteristic appearance and contributes to the model's technical character.

The roof details are clearly visible from the usual slightly elevated viewing position above a model railway layout. Together with the distinctive colour scheme and detailed engine room, they give the model plenty of visual interest.

The Class 111 – Building on Proven DB Technology

When developing the Class 111, Deutsche Bundesbahn drew on proven components from the Class 110. The new locomotive was designed for express passenger services while offering a range of improvements over its predecessors.

Particular attention was paid to smooth running at high speeds. New bogies were intended to bring significant improvements in this area. At the same time, working conditions for locomotive drivers were improved – an important step in modernising electric passenger services.

227 Locomotives Between 1974 and 1984

Deutsche Bundesbahn acquired a total of 227 Class 111 locomotives between 1974 and 1984. This large number underlines the class's importance to electric passenger services.

The Class 111 proved to be a versatile design and was used for more than conventional passenger trains. Its characteristics also allowed it to work in other areas of railway operation, including demanding S-Bahn services.

The Class 111 as an S-Bahn Locomotive

As a multi-purpose locomotive, the Class 111 also found an interesting role in S-Bahn services. Rapid acceleration, reliable operation and a suitable push-pull control system were important requirements for these frequent services.

Their striking S-Bahn colour scheme made these locomotives real showpieces of the Bundesbahn. The pebble-grey body and broad orange band made them recognisable even from a considerable distance.

Typical Push-Pull Operation on S-Bahn Services

The Class 111 became particularly well known for hauling S-Bahn push-pull trains. Push-pull operation allowed a quick change of direction at termini without the need for a locomotive runround.

This arrangement also offers interesting operating possibilities on a model railway. With matching coaches and a driving trailer, the Roco 7590044 can shuttle between two termini, enabling varied S-Bahn operations.

S12 Köln-Nippes – Au (Sieg) Route

The model is specified for the S12 Köln-Nippes – Au (Sieg) route. This allows the locomotive to be incorporated into a layout based on West German S-Bahn and local passenger services.

Electrified main lines, busy suburban sections and larger stations provide a suitable setting. Together with a matching S-Bahn push-pull train, the model creates a particularly convincing Era IV scene.

Ideal for a Classic DB S-Bahn Push-Pull Train in TT

The Roco 7590044 TT Class 111 with sound is especially appealing when combined with matching S-Bahn coaches. The characteristic colour scheme creates a coherent train formation, while the digital sound and lighting functions enrich layout operation.

The combination of sound, headlights, tail lights and engine room lighting makes this locomotive particularly appealing to modellers who want to do more than simply run their historic trains and actively incorporate different functions into their operations.

For Bundesbahn Enthusiasts, Sound Enthusiasts and Class 111 Collectors

The Roco 7590044 TT Class 111 DB S-Bahn electric locomotive is an attractive choice for fans of Deutsche Bundesbahn and classic local passenger trains. This striking colour variant is also ideal for collectors who want to display different versions of the Class 111 alongside one another.

The multi-coloured engine room, finely detailed roof equipment and digital functions ensure that the model can take a special place both on the layout and in a collection.
