Hello there, do you recognize those lines? If that’s a no, you have never lived or been in Germany before. In this series we will go through some pocket size fun.

Red is a very desired color, especially this nuance. We can find it everywhere: from kitchen gadgets, cars and even trains… This time the model brought for you is the Roco Regio-Shuttle BR 650 Epoch V.

Any resemblance is not merely coincidence, after all we’re talking about miniatures. If you’re not a collector, just try to answer this: Have you ever stumbled on delightful creations whether architecture or technology, which gave you the urge to be able to take it home with you? Well, there lies the magic of models.

Although size is questionable from person-to-person and some do prefer smaller pieces, most actually decide based on available space to show their pieces home along with others or not, for so many other reasons as well… Remember that we’re talking about a train representation, that is hu-ge. Rocco's proportion for this piece is 1:87 (H0).

One of the great reasons to pick this beautiful piece is that not only the outside but also the interior has been finely designed. Yes, the interior fittings are detailed and even the windows and its struts have been precisely represented.

Going deeper into the specifications, the train has a LED headlight, built-in load-regulated digital decoder, 2 driven axles, 1 axle with traction tires, 2 traction tires, … Following NEM 652 standards. (See more details here)
