Roco 78504 – Electric locomotive class 1016 “CAT”, ÖBB, AC, DCC Sound

Electric locomotive class 1016 of the Austrian Federal Railways.

■ The model is equipped with 16 bit sound – for an even better sound quality
■ City Airport Train (CAT) design
■ Hauls besides CAT trains also Eurocity trains and goods trains
■ In digital mode with switchable high beam and individually switchable headlights or tail lights
■ Z21 driver’s cab available

The locomotives and coaches for the City Airport Trains shuttling between Wien Mitte and Wien-Schwechat Airport have a unique design. As a result of the introduction of ETCS at the ÖBB, there was a shortage of suitably equipped dual-frequency locomotives. Since the single-system version of the Taurus was sufficient for CAT, class 1116 locomotives were replaced by classes 1016 014 and 036 at the end of 2012.
