Prototype:
The Vectron is a universal locomotive that can now be found in many countries in Europe. Whereas the Vectron was originally ordered by private companies, Siemens has recently also been able to win larger orders from state railroads in Germany, Switzerland & Austria. In the meantime, more than 1000 of these machines are in service on Europe's tracks in a wide range of variants. The Vectron is available in DC, AC or multi-system versions. This beautifully designed machine will initially be released by KM1 in 13 different variants. Depending on the prototype, all roof equipment will also be implemented in the model. But not only the roof configurations will be considered on the model accordingly, also the underbody is a feast for the eyes. Due to the multi-system capability of the Vectron, there are different train protection systems underneath the locomotive. These are designed depending on the variant and country. The Vectron is the first modern and transnational project at KM1. Due to the multiplicity of versions and the production in all-metal mixed construction, the Vectron is your entry into the modern railroad of Gauge 1 and is equally attractive and also affordable.
