The Roco model faithfully captures the characteristic appearance of the legendary T679.1 locomotive, known by the nickname Sergei. The real locomotives of this class were among the most powerful diesel locomotives of their time from 1966 onward and were especially typical for heavy freight service. The ČSD Era IV livery is complemented by realistic printing, finely detailed bogies, and delicate separately fitted details.
The locomotive is designed for 2-rail DC digital operation and comes factory-fitted with a PluX22 DCC decoder with sound functions.
