Although the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) considered steam traction to be obsolete, in 1953 the Krupp company in Essen was commissioned to develop a new Pacific express train locomotive. In 1957, two elegant, 26,503 mm long and partially clad examples of the 2'C1' h3 type with a driving wheel diameter of 2,000 mm were delivered under the series number 10, which differed significantly in their firing type. While 10 001 was initially only equipped with additional oil firing (a conversion took place later), 10 002 had a main oil firing from the start. The two locomotives, embellished with silver decorative lines and fitted with conical smokebox doors, reached a top speed of 140 km/h with an induced power of 1,839 kW. However, due to the high axle load, the two locomotives were only permitted on certain main routes. They were stationed in the Bebra depot until 1962, then in the Kassel depot, from where they were used in heavy express train service on the north-south route and the Main-Weser railway. The general structural change with the constantly progressing electrification of the main routes were the main reasons why the 10 series did not go into series production. In January 1967, 10 002 suffered a break in a slide rod and was retired. In 1972 it was scrapped in the Offenburg depot. In June of the following year, 10 001 also had to resign from active service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn. However, the 109 t locomotive was preserved for posterity and can still be viewed in the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg.

Founded in 1960 as a manufacturer of plastic products (sand buckets, miniature military vehicles), the company is now one of the world's leading providers of model railways as an innovation leader. The first locomotives were produced in 1976. The models were characterized by precision and authenticity right from the start and established the company's reputation for quality early on.
In addition, Roco has always thought further about model railways and stimulated the industry with innovations. Over the decades, the wagons that are not shortened in length, the more prototypical tracks with less high rail profiles or the "snag-free" close couplings should be mentioned. A milestone for the future is the cutting-edge Z21 control system, which for the first time combines the virtual and real game worlds and thus raises the play value of model railways to a completely new level.
Company headquarters are in Bergheim/Salzburg. Roco has a global presence and, via Modelleisenbahn München GmbH, is a company of Modelleisenbahn Holding GmbH, which also includes the German quality manufacturer Fleischmann.
Roco relies on valuable and manual work. This is the only way to create the detailed, highly reliable and functional miniatures. Comprehensive quality management with internal and external quality assurance measures ensures that Roco locomotive and wagon owners receive the best quality and can enjoy their models for a long time. Here, too, Roco is a pioneer. The Roco factory in Arad was the first factory in the model railway industry to be certified according to ISO 9001 by the German DQS GmbH.
