A finely detailed model of the ČSD 372 001-8 electric locomotive in H0 scale (1:87) impresses with faithful proportions and excellent running characteristics. It offers smooth, quiet operation thanks to a flywheel, direction-dependent LED lighting, and PluX22 digital-ready preparation, making it a great choice for both a layout and a collector’s display case.
The model depicts the first prototype of the dual-system Class 372 locomotive (based in design on the ES 499.1 / later Class 363) in the typical ČSD livery. Roco emphasizes fine details of the body, roof, and bogies, including realistic pantographs.
The locomotive is intended for analog operation on direct current power (DC); thanks to the PluX22 interface, it is ready for easy later digital conversion. The lighting is configured as 3 white lights at the front and 2 red at the rear, switching according to the direction of travel.
Main advantages:
- Precision prototype execution of the ČSD 372 001-8 locomotive
- High-quality motor with flywheel for calm, smooth starting
- Direction-dependent LED lighting (3× white / 2× red)
- Digital-ready preparation – PluX22 interface
- NEM 362 pocket with close-coupling mechanism (KK)
- Suitable for layout operation as well as for collectors
