A little touch of history:
The 86 series steam locomotives were built from 1952, 164 of which were assigned to the DR railway. These locomotives were equipped with a standard 1'D1' tender. There are currently 244 locomotives in the area of the former GDR, 71 of which were delivered to the Soviet Union.
These machines were used on railway lines in the foreland of the Harz Mountains, the Erzgebirge and Upper Lusatia.
Presentation manufacturer Roco,
Austrian-born model railway brand Roco was founded in 1960 by Heinz Rössler. This manufacturer specialises in designing products derived from model railways.
Roco produces all types of railway equipment (wagons, carriages, locomotives) from different eras (I, II, III, IV, V or even VI). In general, the manufacturer designs products in various scales such as: HO: 1/87th; N: 1/160th and TT: 1/120th.
The brand is characterised by their eye for detail, and the robustness of their products, which are designed from metallic materials. Their products are as close to the real thing as possible, and for some (the Digitales Sound models) offer very well-reproduced sound effects.
The brand also offers railway accessories (spare parts, tyres, couplers, etc.) and digital modules (analogue controller, digital control unit, digital remote control, etc.).
