Novelty 2022: Variant of the BR S499 as the BR 340 of the ČD Cargo
in Era VI. The grace of the shapely machines of the type Škoda 47E
"Laminátka" was excellently transferred to the scale 1:87 and an
absolutely coherent overall picture was created. The many
attractive details, such as the skylights in the engine room, have
been elegantly implemented and the strongly structured lines of the
locomotive body visualized by sharp engravings. Precisely
reproduced were technical elements, such as the bogies, which
complete the successful design of the model. The colorful livery of
the prototype, including dynamic trim elements, also suits the
locomotive in 1:87 thanks to elaborate painting and printing. The
locomotive is powered by a five-pole motor whose smooth running is
perfected by two flywheel masses. Lighting in red and white, which
changes with the direction of travel, is of course present and
designed in contemporary LED technology. For easy retrofitting of a
digital decoder, the locomotive has a PluX22 interface. Thanks to a
generously dimensioned speaker mount, a vehicle sound can also be
installed quite easily.
