Model:
HO gauge AC. Steam Locomotive 85 004 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft. Epoch II. Finely detailed model with many separately attached plug-in parts. Engine with flywheel, LED lighting, fine wheelsets. Top signal alternating with the direction of travel, a red tail light. NEM 362 coupler pocket with short coupling kinematics on both locomotive sides. Model in AC version equipped with extensive sound features and dynamic steam from the chimney. The dynamic steam from Roco ensures a driving and noise-synchronous smoking of the locomotive. Version without smoke deflectors. Model with two top lights.
 
Prototype:
In total, only 10 locomotives of the approximately 133-ton tender locomotive were built for use on the so-called Höllentalbahn. The locomotives of the class 85 were thus the heaviest tender locomotives that were used in Germany. Because of their traction, the beefy-looking tender locomotives quickly proved themselves on the mountain route. Because of their good performance could be removed in 1933 for the operation until then required rack. Even with the locomotive staff, the locomotives were extremely popular, but they shortened the travel times with passenger trains by more than 1/3 of the original travel time.

Accessories
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.
