Are you looking for a modern diesel locomotive for your H0 layout that combines the latest real-world history, digital features, and a distinctive RDC design? The ASM 79120 H0 DE2700 Diesel Locomotive, RDC, Era VI, AC-Digital is an exciting model for anyone looking to expand their fleet with a DE2700-class diesel locomotive in the Railroad Development Corporation (RDC) livery starting in 2021. It is precisely this connection to RDC, freight transport, and the Alpen-Sylt-Express that gives this model a particularly interesting operational background.
The prototype was acquired by RDC from Hectorrail in 2021 and joined existing locomotives of the same class. The locomotive was repainted in RDC’s corporate colors and named “Cindy.” It was named in honor of the wife of RDC’s founder and owner, Henry Posner III. Thus, the model not only brings modern rail logistics to the layout but also a personal story that makes it particularly appealing to collectors.
The ASM 79120 is a DE2700-series diesel locomotive, and its classification as Era VI makes it an excellent fit for modern layout concepts. The prototype was used to haul freight trains as well as the Alpen-Sylt-Express. This makes the model versatile, suitable for use both at the head of freight trains and in appropriate scenes depicting modern passenger rail service.
The H0-scale version makes the locomotive a suitable choice for model railroaters who collect current H0-scale rail vehicles or wish to use them in layout operations. The RDC design gives it a distinctive appearance that clearly differs from classic standard paint schemes. On the layout, the locomotive can thus serve as an eye-catcher on the main line, at the station, or in the depot.
The model impresses with its prototypical design of the superstructure and undercarriage. Many intricate details and numerous separately attached parts ensure a high-quality model appearance. The fine paintwork and decals, true to the prototype, underscore the modern character of this RDC locomotive and make it an attractive collector’s item for display as well.
The technical features are also designed for demanding model railroad operation. Power is provided by a five-pole motor with a flywheel, while the gearbox is designed for prototype-accurate speeds. This makes the locomotive ideal for model railroaders who value not only a convincing appearance but also realistic running characteristics.
The ASM 79120 is specified as an AC-Digital model and features a built-in ESU LokPilot decoder with automatic detection of analog operation. This allows for a seamless transition to digital operation without any additional steps. Additionally, the locomotive can be upgraded to a sound-equipped locomotive, making it particularly appealing to model railroaders who wish to add sound capabilities at a later date.
Prototype-accurate headlights and tail lights, as well as digitally controllable cab interior lighting, ensure a realistic appearance during operation. The short-coupler mechanism on both sides with NEM coupler mounts facilitates seamless integration into compatible train sets. This makes the ASM 79120 a compelling choice for anyone looking for a modern diesel locomotive with RDC heritage, digital capabilities, and high-quality detailing.
If you’d like to expand your H0 layout with a striking DE2700 from the Railroad Development Corporation, this ASM model is a perfect addition. Get the ASM 79120 DE2700 “Cindy” diesel locomotive and bring a modern Era VI highlight to your model railroad.
