Prototype
The Deutsche Reichsbahn put fourteen class E 60 locomotives into operation from 1927 onwards for the shunting service on the large Bavarian stations. They had a power output of 1.074 kW and reached a top speed of 55 km/h. The three rod-coupled driving axles with blind axle and the drive with the double motor and the diagonal rods of the type Winterthur corresponded to a "half" class E 91 goods locomotive.
Due to the locomotives' striking bodies, the locomotives were nicknamed "Bügeleisen" (irons). In the years 1957/58, the vehicles were thoroughly rehauled and modernised. Among other things, they were fitted with shunting platforms and additional windows. Even in Epoch IV of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, some former class E 60 machines (from 1968 designated class 160) were still in operation. They were stationed in the railway depots of Freilassing, Garmisch, Rosenheim, Heidelberg and Treuchtlingen.
Edition Freilassing
Over the coming years, selected models from the former engine shed Freilassing are to be reproduced under the label “Edition Freilassing”. The first locomotives, at the time still running under steam, entered the locomotive shed with its 20 tracks in the year 1905. Around 20 years later, the electric locomotive workshops were constructed, and further buildings followed over the subsequent years. Roco, too, has close connections with the Bavarian city of Freilassing, as the company’s first sales office was located here. Look forward at Ajckids to the models in this unique edition!| Specifications: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
