Model: HO gauge DC. Austrian Federal Railways electric locomotive 1142 685. Prototypical with different front ends and long UIC number.

Prototype: Between 1969 and 1977 the ÖBB procured a class 1042.5 (road numbers 1042.531 to 707) modified in accordance with technical progress with characteristic roof superstructures and single-arm pantographs that were reversed compared to the locomotives previously delivered. The assembly of the 1042.685 took place at Simmering-Graz-Pauker in Graz under the factory number 72813/1976, while BBC was responsible for the electrical part. In its first years of service, the locomotive was based at the Wien Süd train haulage line. In the 1990s, starting with serial number 1042.531, a reversing train control system was installed - among other conversions - and the locomotive was re-designated as series 1142. After a collision with a goods train in February 2002, 1142 685 was refurbished. The front side of driver's cab 2 received the then new small headlights with adjacent tail lights, a larger push handle and handrails under the windows. The side of driver's cab 1 still has the large lower head lamps, the smaller push handle and the handrails under the head windows, which extend to the driver's cab doors. The blood orange paintwork has also been preserved. This hermaphroditic existence remained even after a T5 refurbishment with repainting in Valousek design. For decades, the locomotive was used in front of all types of trains, after the conversion to 1142 685 also in front of push-pull trains and heavy goods trains in multiple traction. The locomotive has recently been parked and will probably soon go the way of the old iron.

Variations of this product
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.
