The Roco 52564 reproduces the SETG V 100.53, a diesel locomotive that joined this Austrian operator in 2020 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn. Released in 2023, the model comes factory-fitted with an MS450P22 PluX22 sound decoder on a PluX22 socket, so all digital functions are available straight out of the box with no additional work required. Four powered axles and a flywheel deliver smooth, controlled running particularly at the low speeds typical of shunting work.
A shunting diesel with real yard presence
The V 100 is a locomotive type that reads instantly in any freight consist or shunting scene. In this version with SETG livery and running number V 100.53, the visual identity sits comfortably within a Central European Era VI railway setting. Front and rear lights are LED, switching direction automatically with the loco, and the lighting functions allow toggling between shunting and main-line headlights. The clear cab view adds a welcome level of detail without any need for modification.

On the layout and in a consist
At 139 mm long, the V 100.53 takes up a compact footprint on the track plan and works equally well leading a short freight train, sitting at a dead-end siding or working a classification yard.

For anyone building an Era VI layout with local or industrial freight traffic, this model brings a recognisable, well-characterised piece of motive power to the consist.
