ICE T Class 411
A newly engineered tilting multiple unit could connect classic and modern DB AG long-distance themes. Multi-car expansion sets could support a complete train family.
The ROCO Wish Workshop for the 2027 Model Year
ROCO New Products 2027 – Which Models Would We Like to See?
Which locomotive is still missing from the H0 range? Which modern multiple unit should appear as a complete train family? Which TT vehicles could expand the range? And which Austrian narrow-gauge railway is still waiting for the right H0e model?
Important:
As of August 2026, no official regular ROCO
new-products programme for 2027 has been published.
Every 2027 proposal on this page is a wish or idea –
not an announcement by ROCO.

Thinking Ahead Together About ROCO New Products for 2027
The page “ROCO New Products 2027 | Model Wishes & Ideas” is not intended to be a supposed preview of a manufacturer programme that is not yet known. Instead, it asks the question layout operators and collectors discuss every year: which model would genuinely expand the ROCO range in a useful way?
ROCO is especially strong in H0, covering everything from steam locomotives and classic Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn vehicles to modern FLIRT, Railjet and Vectron trains. The range also includes TT models and a long-established H0e world based on Austrian narrow-gauge railways. Z21 additionally provides a comprehensive digital control family. A wish for 2027 therefore does not have to be another locomotive.
A Good New Product Should Expand Existing Model Worlds
Designs that can support several useful variants are particularly valuable. A multiple unit can appear for several operators. A shunting locomotive creates genuine operating tasks on many layouts. A new passenger coach can finally turn an existing locomotive family into a complete train. In H0e, even one additional vehicle type can turn a small track plan into a complete Austrian narrow-gauge railway.
A Model Wish Should Be More Than a Class Number
A particularly useful proposal includes not only the prototype but also the gauge, preferred era, railway company, typical train formation and desired technology. A shunting locomotive might benefit from a digitally controlled coupling. Interior lighting and destination displays could be more important on a modern multiple unit. The wish workshop below allows all of these points to be combined.
Clearly Identified
A wish becomes a new product only when ROCO actually announces it.
The official 2027 section further down the page therefore accepts only current product pages that explicitly state “New Product 2027”, “New Products: 2027” or another unambiguous 2027 new-product designation.

Fifteen Wish Ideas for ROCO 2027
These proposals are not announcements. They are intended to start discussions. Anyone interested in an idea can add it to a personal wish list and later transfer it automatically into the message sent to Modellbahnshop.
Mireo Plus B Battery Multiple Unit
Battery trains are becoming increasingly important on regional routes. A model could reproduce a modern line that is not electrified throughout in a particularly convincing way.
Class 120 Re-Engineered for Modern Standards
A contemporary implementation with current electronics could cover classic InterCity, InterRegio, tourist and test-train subjects over several decades.
ETA 150 / Class 515
A Deutsche Bundesbahn battery railcar would form an attractive historical counterpart to today’s battery trains. Small stations and short platforms would be ideal for it.
More V 90 and Class 290 Variants
The new shunting-locomotive family invites further DB, DB AG, museum and private-railway conditions. Variants of this kind have considerable operating value.
Modern Engineering or Inspection Railcar
Measurement, inspection and maintenance vehicles create completely different operating patterns from normal passenger trains and could bring realistic activity to construction sites.
Class 218
This classic Deutsche Bundesbahn diesel locomotive could cover passenger, InterCity, regional and engineering-train themes in TT. Numerous liveries would support a long-term model family.
Class 110 / E 10
A classic Deutsche Bundesbahn electric locomotive would add important express, regional and special-train subjects to TT and could cover several eras.
Modern Vectron Dual Mode
Dual-mode traction would expand current TT freight themes by connecting operation under overhead wires with industrial sidings and non-electrified branch sections.
Modern Mariazell Railway
A current Mariazell Railway vehicle would form an exciting contrast to the historic Class 1099 and make a present-day narrow-gauge layout possible.
New ÖBB Class 2095 with Modern Technology
A technically updated narrow-gauge diesel locomotive with detailed lighting, a Next18 interface and sound options could be useful for many Austrian layouts.
Add Missing Long-Distance Coaches
Not every wish needs a locomotive. Restaurant, driving, couchette or supplementary coaches can finally make existing train families complete and prototypical.
Pocket Wagons and Intermodal Transport
Modern freight trains need enough different wagon variants. Further pocket and container wagons could make long international block trains possible.
Digital Couplings for Shunting Locomotives
Class 290, V 100 and other shunting locomotives would benefit greatly from being able to uncouple wagons directly from the digital command station.
Even Easier Vehicle Management
Convenient local management of locomotive images, functions, CV data and train formations could make the Z21 system even easier to use with large vehicle fleets.
ROCO’s Three Important Vehicle Worlds
Which Wishes Suit H0, TT and H0e?
| Gauge | Scale / Track Gauge | ROCO Strength | Possible Wish Direction for 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| H0 | 1:87 · 16.5 mm | largest vehicle and wagon programme | new multiple units, shunting vehicles, train families and AC/DC variants |
| TT | 1:120 · 12 mm | DR, DB and international vehicles | additional DB classics and modern freight technology |
| H0e | 1:87 · 9 mm | Austrian narrow gauge | modern Mariazell Railway, ÖBB and NÖVOG subjects |
ROCO Is More Than Rolling Stock
Which Z21 Ideas Would We Like to See in 2027?
Make Digital Layout Operation Even Easier
The Z21 family ranges from the entry-level z21start to the black Z21 and the high-output Z21 XL. Wishes for 2027 therefore do not have to focus solely on locomotives. Software, feedback, locomotive management and general operating convenience can also be included.
Easier Backup of Locomotive Data
Convenient backup of locomotive images, function names and personal settings would be useful for large fleets.
Make RailCom Easier to Understand
Vehicle feedback could be integrated even more clearly into normal operation in both the app and track diagram.
Shunting with the WLANMAUS
Coupling sequences, shunting lights and macro functions could be made particularly easy to access for layout operators.
Keep Local Operation at the Centre
A layout should remain convenient to operate without a permanent internet connection. A local network and open interfaces are especially valuable for this.
Functions That Really Help During Operation
Which Model Technology Would Be Particularly Interesting from ROCO in 2027?
More Digital Couplings
Shunting and local-freight locomotives gain considerable operating value when wagons can be uncoupled without manual intervention.
Separate Lighting Functions Consistently
Cab lighting, tail lights, high beam and shunting lights should be independently controllable in a sensible way on high-specification digital models.
Prepare for Power Buffers
Small shunting locomotives and narrow-gauge vehicles in particular benefit from reliably designed energy storage.
Retain Analogue Versions
Alongside fully equipped sound models, more affordable versions should remain available for self-digitisers and analogue operators.
Layout Operation Rather Than a Feature List
A function is valuable when it is actually used during operation.
Particularly useful examples include shunting lights, separately switchable tail lights, digital couplings, interior lighting and reliable slow-speed running.
The ROCO Model Railway World
ROCO Model Railways as the Basis for 2027 Wishes
H0, H0e, TT, Track and Digital Technology
ROCO combines a very broad European vehicle programme with ROCO LINE, H0e and TT subjects and the Z21 system family. Wishes for 2027 can therefore range from a new steam locomotive or missing coach to an improved digital layout function.
