Roco 7110017 H0 ατμομηχανή BR 01 0529-6 της DR

Model railway enthusiasts operating a Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) layout in Era IV will appreciate the Roco 7110017 H0 steam locomotive BR 01 0529-6. This finely detailed model captures the distinctive appearance of the reconstructed class 01.05, with road number 01 0529-6, as it appeared between 1970 and 1990. The locomotive features a die-cast metal chassis and a metal boiler, providing excellent pulling power and durability. Equipped with a 5-pole motor with flywheel, it delivers smooth low-speed performance. Triple headlights change direction with the direction of travel, and the NEM 362 coupling with close coupling mechanism ensures reliable operation on curves down to radius R3 (419.6 mm). The model is prepared for digital operation with an 8-pin NEM 652 interface, allowing easy decoder installation for those who wish to upgrade from analog DC.
