Roco New Items for 2008
Roco have announced some very interesting models for 2008 and here is a summary of what I've seen so far.
![]()
There is a model of the DB's Maglev train. This will be interesting to see how they do this as it doesn't run on rails.
![]()
There is a BR52 with digital sound and smoke generator pre-installed.
![]()
There are a couple of SBB re460's with interesting designs.
![]()
An Austrian croc 1189.02.
![]()
There is also the new premium starter set which includes a loco with digitally raising and lowering pantographs. It includes three coaches which have digitally operated opening and closing of doors accompanied by the appropriate sounds.
![]()
A Spanish Diesel 333 of RENFE with sound.
![]()
A popular release will be the BR221 with digital sound. Same design as model number 62840, but with integrated digital sound. Running noise synchronized with the speed noise, starting sound and horn can be sounded separately; sound not possible in analogue control mode.
![]()
For Dutch rail fans there is a 4-unit electric rail car train, Blokkendoos, NS
![]()
The new Swiss tilt train the ICN electric railcar, SBB
The Swiss National Railway started operating the 7-unit electric railcars for InterCity traffic in Switzerland in 1999. On curved stretches, the integrated tilting technology allows trains to travel 10 to 20% faster than trains hauled by locomotives.

There is also a very nice BR03.10 with digital sound coming in at 500 euros. Hmm!
![]()
A lovely little K.Bay BB II is also available. Between 1899 and 1903, the Maffei company from Munich delivered a total of 29 locomotives to the Royal Bavarian State Railway. Due to its low top speed and the low axle loads, these locomotives were mainly used on secondary lines for pulling both passenger trains and freight trains.
![]()
Suitable traction locomotive for set 64000.
The details of the new MultiMaus Pro have been made available elsewhere on the forum. This looks to be a good entry into computer control for those so inclined.
This and much more can be seen on the Roco website at http://www.roco.co.at

Darn, nothing of interest for me...

Not even that tilt train since I don't see it coming as far north as the Benelux!

I have the previous issue set and wonder what improvements have been made.
It is a very attractive model.
I'd like the Kbay loco too.
Cheers,
Bryan.

Now that the Nurnberg Toy Fair is in the brink, I wonder would all be on display on Roco's stand. Well if not all at least some.

QUOTE (Dogmatix @ 17 Jan 2008, 08:16) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ideally, of course, it would use magnets in the train and a set of coils in the 'track' to provide both levitation and propulsion... just like the real thing! Might be a bit expensive to realise, though.....
Yes, it would say on the box, "liquid helium not included"!
