Roco surprises us in 2025 with a nice wagon set featuring three type S heavy-duty wagons of the Dutch State Railways.
These wagons are, as the name suggests, for transporting heavy goods.
The wagons are fitted with NEM 362 shafts with KK-Kinematik. The length over buffers is 372 mm.
We have this new set in stock now.
Modelleisenbahn Gmbh markets model cars and trains under the Roco name from Bergheim, Austria. The manufacturer was previously based in Salzburg, Austria.
The company was founded in 1960 by Ing. Heinz Rössler who started with plastic "mini tanks". After exports to the US became successful, production expanded to include model trains. In 1975, Roco was able to take over much of the tools from the Röwa company. This allowed it to break through into the European market. Later, model trains were also made in scales TT (since the 1990s), H0e (narrow gauge H0) (since the 1980s) and 0.
