Almost 200 locomotives of the E 44 series (renamed Class 144 by DB in 1968) were put into service between 1932 and 1954. These four-axle bogie locomotives had a power output of around 2,200 kW and a top speed of 90 km/h. The locomotives proved their worth hauling both passenger and freight trains. Some locomotives were equipped with push-pull train control and thus used in suburban service in metropolitan areas. The E 44 – from which the E 44.5, E 93, and E 94 series were further developed – can rightly be considered one of the most reliable and successful electric locomotives, as it helped to establish the bogie design and axle-hung traction motors.
EDITION FREILASSING
Under the "Edition Freilassing" label, selected models from the former Freilassing locomotive depot are being recreated. In 1905, the first locomotives, then steam locomotives, moved into the engine shed with its 20 tracks. Around 20 years later, the electric locomotive workshop was built, and further buildings followed in subsequent years. ROCO also has a close connection to the Bavarian town of Freilassing, as its first German sales office was located there. Look forward to the models in this unique edition!
