A little touch of history:
The NS railway company leased this Vectron power car via ELL (European Locomotie Leasing), for night traffic from Amsterdam to Vienna (return). These railcars could reach speeds of up to 200 km/h.
These models are operated in cooperation with NS, DB and ÖBB. As a result, passengers will be able to benefit from a comfortable and inexpensive alternative in future.

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). Generally speaking, 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.).
