The Building and Design of a New Model Train Locomotive
Ғылым және технология
Reynaulds.com is sharing Modelleisenbahn GmbHs video on how Roco designs and build a new locomotive. Have you ever wondered how a model train gets built? The planning, design, research, tooling, and manufacturing that goes into a model is simply remarkable. Have a look at how a Roco model goes from the drawing table to the shelves of hobby shops around the globe. Modelleisenbahn Gmbh owners of Roco makes some of the best models in the world and this video shows all the work they do to make all our dreams of model railroading a reality. Thank Modelleisenbahn Gmbh for all your hard work and great quality models.

Loco prices are going up, but seeing Roco still make their stuff in Europe with such attention to detail, the price is more than justified.

They were very nice factory in ho chi Minh City, Vietnam.
What an amazing process! Almost as involved and as complex as building a watch! No wonder ROCO trains are so incredibly realist in their appearance!
Never would have guessed that so much industrial machinery went into creating the shells and under frames!
A great piece of interesting entertainment ! There's no substitute for craft . Machines and lasers have a great influence , but the Human touch is wonderful . Love and care are worth a lot . Well done Roco.

Well, some things still have to be done by hand. No matter where they’re made, that’s still true. But because of computers and CAD/CAM, models today are vastly better than models from more than 30-40 years ago. Those were simple and primitive, unless they cost thousands.
AWESOME! how people working together can create such scale beauty... 🧡
I myself don't have the time enough to build a model locomotive with the intricate details i saw in this video, very impressive indeed, it explains the justified cost. When you think about, it would probably take months to build one and not look or run as a factory made peace. 👍
Thank you! Finally a well produced video that actually show the process from design to manufacturing.
That ending stunk! I wanted to see a few of them running around on somebody's nice layout---ya gotta redo that ending!

Excellent work, I was impressed to see Roco is still making their own motors - Most companies have just buy them from some other manufacturer.
I have many Roco, they are very high quality and have run without fault for many years :)
Wow, that sure is a lot of very intense planning, work and assembly, amazing process.
Absolutely incredible the amount of tooling required to produce this model....the quality and attention to detail is amazing...thanks for sharing this video.....hope to see more of these....xx
I did know that a lot of work was done to produce a model, with all the scanning,jigs, tools, dies ect. I have had my eyes opened to the complexity and time consuming task they undertake and will see my Roco locos, running stock and the Z21 in a completely different light. Excellent video thanks
My god this is so cool, I had absolutely no idea what went in to making these miniature pieces of functional art!
INCREDIBLE DETAIL, I will appreciate items even more!
I had no idea these lil machines were still handmade. I figured for sure this process would all be automated by now. Amazing video showing the detail & quality craftsmanship that goes into each miniature that is produced!
Great video! I’ve been a great fan of Roco since 40 years, and I will always be! I wish I’d see more steam locomotives! The technology can be compared to luxuy watch making. Very amazing indeed!

They really make beautiful models and none many of them are coming with advanced Henning and Leo Lab sound libraries. Roco models are high quality and super detailed models.
That is way cool. Never knew there was that much work going into these. I guess now I dont mind paying the price on some of the trains. Mad skill. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful and enlightening video showing such intense planning and such attention to detail. The whole video was excellent showing the skill and final assembly of the trains, inspiring.
Wow great video!
I know Reynaulds really well,haven’t seen him in a while,A great person and his brother Roman just as great,started out in a basement in Elmhurst ILLinois some time now in Elburn,If you get a chance go and see these guys,tons of knowledge and they can answer anything Hey Guys Mike from Lombard

Amazing attention to detail
My favorite MRR manufacturer is Roco. I'm willing to pay extra for models made in Europe. Roco has superb motors also, and together with decoders from ZIMO, the locomotives are the best runners I know. I just watched how Rapido Trains use a laser scanner to make accurate 3D drawings from prototypes. I hope this will become the new industry standard.
the video was amazing … intrigued and mystified. rock on, reynaulds.com … all the best to you and those employees who make you what you are.

Excellent demonstration video. Great detail and photography. (Nice music too!)
great video, really shows just what goes into making a model locomotive, i wish instead of the music though you had someone explaining the processes, I realize the video would have had to be longer but it would have been worth it I think.
An excellent video. I have a number of Roco items on my model train layout. ♡ T.E.N.
Great video & high quality product!
That’s a awesome job to have building model trains
Fantastic video! Congratulations!
Wow, great video !
I’ll never complain about the price of a new loco ever again... 👍
Awesome video. Thanks so much for the insight in this incredibly interesting stuff!! Never thought this much was involved in creating a model train.
So much care and attention conveyed effectively, nice vid 👍🏼
still a work of art
Very cool, thank you!
Very very interesting. So much work !!! So many details. This was an excellent video. It makes you appreciate the amazing models we have today. Very Well done. 3 thumbs up !!!
Very nice video. This motivates me to buy some of these models.
Impressionante! Magnifico sistema. Do início ao fim, Parabéns!
Awesome! Just awesome!
That’s extraordinary. I’m going shopping for my grand children. Nah. For me 🤣 They are more than toys. They’re spiritual. The Roco team can be very proud.
From now on I will look more closely at the models I am going to buy, you have no idea how many machines and specialized people to produce such a good quality model made by quality people.
Excellent!

Wow, that CNC machine was incredible.
Amazing skills and being in engineering myself, I know that the tooling cost itself would be in the £100,000 + area. Technology at its finest...well done Roco !, great looking Loco.

Roco ha rivoluzionato il modellismo ferroviario italiano con l'uscita, tanti anni fa, della bellissima ed avveniristica, per la fedeltà ai dettagli ed alla scala, E626, in tutte le livree e versioni. Di seguito ha incrementato la produzione di materiale rotabile italiano con eccellenti prodotti, carri, carrozze, materiale di trazione. Una produzione sempre eccellente, e credo apprezzata dal mercato italiano, che ha dimostrato un discreto volume di acquisti. Ora ci sentiamo trascurati, nuovi modelli ispirati alle nostre ferrovie non ne appaiono da tempo. Come mai ?
I am also one of your customers!

3D printing is still way too slow and the manufacturing would be too expensive because how slow the printing is. Also you still would need to produce a nice zinc or die cast frame. It cost about 2 million to bring out a high end model in Europe but once the tooling is built you can manufacture that model for decades.
I have ROCO...beauty
Truly fucking amazing
USA manufacturers lang ago ran off to China and are now going to paying the price for it. There is no reason US manufacturers could not do as Roco and keep it in the USA. I have a number of their locos and they are world class.

Without these CAD machines the dies we see would cost maybe 50 times as much. My Dad was a tool and die maker and brought home seven to eight hundred dollars a week back in 1960.
