Roco 78004 - Diesel locomotive class 2062 (AC Sound)
Diesel locomotive class 2062 in green livery of the Austrian Federal Railways.
■ Model with digital shunting couplers. More play fun guaranteed !
■ Engine front end and gear block made of die cast metal, therefore more dead weight and high tractive power
■ Rich detailing on the model with many plug-in parts and freestanding handles
■ Prototypical light and sound functions using on-board switchable decoder
■ Unobstructed view through the authentic driver's cab
■ AC model with buffer capacitor for uninterruptible power supply
To replace the cost- and personnel-intensive steam locomotives in the shunting service, the Austrian Federal Railways purchased a series of the 400 hp fast diesel locomotives of the series 2062 from 1958 onwards. The Jenbacher works in Tyrol built a total of 65 of these two-axle small diesel locomotives by 1966.
With its eye-catching cast-iron front shields, which serve as ballast weights, the ÖBB used the locomotive throughout Austria for shunting and construction train services. On the branch lines of Lower Austria, the locomotives were found in front of passenger trains and hauled one or two carriages. The last locomotives retired from regular service in 2003. However, some of them are still in operation today such as the works and construction train locomotives with the series designation X262.
