On this page you’ll find a ranking of the best Model railway locomotives from Roco. To give you a quick overview, we’ve added the most important product details. This page always stays fresh and updates automatically.

1. Roco H0 Ro Steam locomotive 26.084, Sncb (Dc)

The locomotives of the war locomotive series 52 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn that remained in Belgium were designated as series 26. These were the locomotives that were built by Belgian locomotive factories only in 1945 and delivered shortly after the end of the war. In total, the series 26 included locomotives numbered 26.001 to 26.100. 

2. Roco 7510060 H0 E-Lok 1144 078-3 der ÖBB

Electric locomotive 1144 078 of the Austrian Federal Railways. From 1976 to 1995, the ÖBB acquired 217 units of the four-axle thyristor locomotives of the series 1044. The powerful locomotives, with 5,120 kW and a top speed of up to 160 km/h, shaped the modern image of the ÖBB for many years. In 2001, 1044 078 underwent modernization work, including the Valousek design. In April 2010, the installation of the push-pull control system was completed, and it was renumbered to 91 81 1144 078-3. 

3. Roco H0 Ro electric locomotive 485 012-9, Bls Cargo (Dc)

In 2001, BLS Lötschbergbahn AG decided to order ten Traxx locomotives for cross-border freight transport. The BLS Cargo locomotives, designated Re 485 in Switzerland, are technically identical to the Re 482 series from SBB Cargo and the 185 series from DB Cargo, with an additional Swiss package. With their delivery between December 2002 and mid-2003, the remaining Ae 4/4 locomotives were retired. The new machines are primarily used for transit freight trains to and from Germany. 

4. Roco 7100023 H0 Dampflok BR 35.10 der DR

Steam locomotive class 35.10 of the German Reichsbahn. Drive on two axles of the tender and via a cardan shaft on all three driving axles of the locomotive. With the introduction of the computer-based numbering system at the German Reichsbahn, the locomotives formerly designated as class 23.10 received the new class designation 35.10. The locomotives were a development result from the two prototype locomotives 23 001 and 23 002. The locomotives of class 35.10 were particularly popular among operating personnel due to their low coal consumption and smooth running. 

5. Roco H0 Ro electric locomotive 1043 002-3, ÖBB (Dcc)

To meet the ÖBB's desire for the rapid delivery of new locomotives for freight transport on the Tauern Railway, four locomotives were diverted from a series of the Swedish Type Rc 2 that was under construction. The locomotives, equipped with thyristor technology, performed well, and a total of ten machines were delivered by 1974. Hardly any other series of the ÖBB had such a wide variety of labeling options during its operational time. The 1043 002, one of the locomotives in the ÖBB-Jaffa design, was in service in the 1990s with an umber-gray roof, frame, and chassis. The upper decorative stripe was placed above the front windows. The locomotive plates were removed, and the locomotive numbers were affixed as adhesive digits on the frame. 

6. Roco 5500003 H0 5er-Set Güterzug „Oberammergau“ der DB

Train set "Oberammergau" of the German Federal Railways. It consists of the electric locomotive 169 005, a covered goods wagon, type Gs, a 4-axle flat wagon, type Rs, an open goods wagon, type E, and a hopper wagon, type F-z 120. On January 24, 1905, electric operations began on the 23.7 km long track to Ammertal. It was the first journey of an electric train under a simple alternating current overhead line. Thus, it became the first route equipped with a new system, known as "railway current," which is still used today in Central and Northern Europe. The line was initially operated with electric multiple units and later with small electric locomotives capable of speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. The energy, in the form of single-phase alternating current, came from the Kammerl hydroelectric power plant on the Ammer River. Starting in 1930, the robust LAG 5 – later 169 005 – supplemented the electric locomotive fleet on the Oberammergau Railway. Despite its length of only 8.7 m, this small powerhouse proved to be exceptionally reliable. For decades, the railway, with its coziness and idyllic surroundings of a Bavarian local line, held a special charm for all railway enthusiasts. The era of the "Neinasechzga" in local transport on the Oberammergau Railway came to an end in May 1981. With the withdrawal of the old locomotives, regular operations began, and the charm of an incomparable era was irretrievably lost. 

7. Roco 7100017 H0 Dampflok BR 01 0529-6 der DR

Steam locomotive 01 0529 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Drive on two axles of the tender and via a cardan shaft to all three driving axles of the locomotive. The Deutsche Reichsbahn feared that due to the partly poor condition of the series 01, it would be increasingly difficult to maintain enough locomotives for the express trains. Therefore, they decided to reconstruct the 01, which also meant an increase in performance and the elimination of faults, and this was particularly successful with this series. The new welded boiler received a third safety valve. All boiler fittings were clad, the driver's cab was modernized, and the Witte deflectors at the front were angled. The "01 529" was equipped in 1964 with a combustion chamber boiler, a mixing preheater, and oil-fired main heating. Its last service location was Berlin-Schöneweide. It was retired in July 1983. 

8. Roco 70771 H0 DB AG diesel locomotive 218 290-5

Roco 70771 H0 DB AG Diesel Locomotive 218 290-5.

9. Roco 7300003 H0 Diesel locomotive Rh T 466.2 of the CSD

Diesel locomotive series T 466.2 of the Czechoslovak State Railways. In the 1970s, there was a significant demand for powerful freight diesel locomotives for medium-duty shunting and line service at the former Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). As a result, the lighter variant T 466.2 was derived from the industrial locomotive type T 448. It was manufactured by ČKD in Prague starting in 1977 in nine production series (with minor differences) totaling 494 units, and was put into service with the ČSD until 1986. 

10. Roco 7500129 H0 E-Lok BR 185 142-7 der DB AG

Electric locomotive 185 142 of Deutsche Bahn. The TRAXX AC1 is a series of electric locomotives primarily developed for freight transport. The name TRAXX stands for "Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility." The series 185.1, directly derived from the series 145, is now designed to operate on both of the common alternating current systems in Europe: 15 kV/16 2/3 Hz and 25 kV/50 Hz. With a weight of 84 tons, it delivers a continuous power output of 5.6 MW and is approved for speeds of up to 140 km/h. For cross-border operations, the locomotives have been equipped with various country-specific packages. 65 locomotives (185 085 – 185 149) were delivered with the Swiss country package. From May 2007, 185 142 was in operation with a striking Edelweiss design.
