Model: HO gauge DC. Electric locomotive Re 4/4 169 of the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon-Bahn. First version with a short bumper bar and modified resistance grid for early eras. Case without coat of arms engraving. Finely detailed model with many separately attached plug-in parts, engraved decorative line. Elaborate, multicolored replica of the engine room. Fine wheel sets with low wheel flanges. Elaborately designed roof with pantographs. In digital operation with switchable high beam and individually switchable headlights or taillights.

Prototype: After the Ae 4/4 on the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon railway, which went into operation in 1944, had proven themselves successfully for over two decades, in the early 1960s other older mainline machines were due to be replaced. While the SBB aimed to purchase Re 4/4?? with classic direct control and single-phase AC motors, the BLS opted for more modern technology with silicon rectifiers and shaft current motors. These machines, initially classified as Ae 4/4??, then as Re 4/4 after technical improvements, were built by SLM and BBC and used for both passenger and freight transport on the BLS, GBS, SEZ and BN network and the adjacent SBB routes .
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.
