Sound-ready models have a jumper plug for use on your analog system, a loudspeaker and a buffer capacitor. Subsequent digitization can therefore be carried out independently. You can find an instruction video on the Roco YouTube channel. If you want to drive digitally without sound, you can get started without sound after installing a cheap driving decoder. This gives you the greatest possible flexibility in the technical design of your models: You can immediately enjoy analogue driving fun and still have the choice of the extent to which you would like to digitize your model at a later date.
Prototype: In the partnership project of the new Silk Roads, the Eisenbahngesellschaft Potsdam mbH (EGP for short) provides the rail services in Germany for the Mukran Port Group. The Smartron electric locomotives from Siemens are used. The container trains are up to 740 meters long. The DBO bahnoperator GmbH is another partner of this project. With the dragon-like design of the 192 103, a sign of successful cooperation has been set since December 2020.
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.
