60 years old and not at all tired!
ROCO is celebrating a round-number birthday in 2020, and the occasion needs to be marked with an art locomotive.
The elaborate design of the Taurus locomotive has once again been created in collaboration with the wonderful artist Gudrun Geiblinger.
In a symbolic way, the design bridges the gap between ROCO's origins as a manufacturer of children's toys, such as the famous sand bucket, and today's masterpieces in the world of model railroading.
For 60 years of ROCO is six decades of innovation and technicalism on a small scale, but a high level. Gudrun Geiblinger takes up these developments and uses many modern elements, such as a turntable, in her design.
Of course, ROCO's trademark par excellence cannot be missed: its well-known logo and its transformation through time.
A model that shouldn't be missing from any collection and is being released just once, in the anniversary year.
In cooperation with the ÖBB, the real-life model pulls passenger trains as well as freight trains in Austria and neighbouring countries.
