List of products by brand ROCO

ROCO, miniature train manufacturer

The Roco brand is owned by Modelleisenbahn GmbH. It is a historic miniature train manufacturer based in Austria.

Roco is well known in the railway modelling world for its high-quality and detailed train replicas, as well as for their excellent mechanical performance.

ROCO H0 Scale Trains

Currently, Roco primarily manufactures its H0 scale railway models (1:87), although it also has a small catalog of TT scale trains (1:120).

Within the H0 scale, Roco produces locomotives and wagons from numerous countries, mainly highlighting Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and France.

ROCO Renfe Locomotives

Although Spain or Portugal are not primary markets for Roco, over the years they have marketed some interesting Iberian models.

Some of the most iconic Renfe locomotives have been manufactured by Roco in H0 scale, mainly aimed at the Spanish market.

Notable models include the 319 and 333, both high-level reproductions highly appreciated by fans of Spanish railways. Other locomotives such as the 307, 281, or 250 were also marketed by Roco in their time.

Roco N Scale Trains

For some years now, Roco no longer manufactures material in N scale (1:160), although for many decades it was a scale very present in the catalogs of the Austrian brand.

After the merger of Roco with Fleischmann (another iconic model railway brand), the group's management decided to specialize each brand in a scale. Roco retained the manufacture of H0 scale, and Fleischmann took over N scale.

Many of the models developed by Roco in N scale were reissued under the Fleischmann brand, as well as some accessories like Roco N scale tracks, currently integrated into the Fleischmann catalog. Interestingly, many current models and accessories still bear the Roco name, despite no longer being marketed under this brand.
