A finely detailed model of the BR 189 electric locomotive in ČD Cargo livery (Era VI) in H0 scale. It stands out with its robust construction, highly detailed roof, and features such as metal single-arm pantographs and a view into the driver’s cab. Thanks to the PluX22 digital interface, it is ready for easy digital conversion and modern operation on your layout.
