ASM 79320 H0 Diesel Locomotive DE2700, RDC, Era VI, AC Sound

Are you looking for a modern diesel locomotive for your H0 layout that impresses with its fascinating real-life history, powerful appearance, and digital sound? The ASM 79320 H0 DE2700 Diesel Locomotive, RDC, Era VI, AC Sound is a particularly exciting model for anyone who collects modern rail vehicles with high-quality technical features or wants to use them on their layout. The model depicts the DE2700 series diesel locomotive in the Railroad Development Corporation (RDC) version introduced in 2021, bringing a distinctive Era VI vehicle to the tracks.

The prototype of this locomotive is closely associated with modern freight and passenger rail service. To haul freight trains as well as the Alpen-Sylt-Express, RDC purchased another DE2700-series diesel locomotive from Hectorrail in 2021, in addition to the locomotives of the same series it already owned. This locomotive was repainted in RDC’s corporate colors and named “Cindy” in honor of the wife of RDC’s founder and owner, Henry Posner III. As a result, the prototype not only holds operational significance but also has a personal history that makes this model particularly interesting.

Prototype-Accurate DE2700 in RDC Livery

The ASM 79320 impresses with its prototypical design of the locomotive’s superstructure and undercarriage. Many intricate details and numerous separately applied parts ensure a high-quality model appearance. The fine paintwork and decals, faithful to the prototype, underscore the modern character of the RDC version and make the locomotive an attractive centerpiece on any H0 layout.

As a DE2700-class diesel locomotive, this model is ideal for model railroading enthusiasts seeking a powerful locomotive for contemporary train formations. Thanks to its connection to freight transport and the Alpen-Sylt-Express, the locomotive can be flexibly integrated into appropriate operating scenarios. Whether in regular service, pulling a freight train, or as a special vehicle in a modern collection: This model embodies the distinct character of Era VI.

Digital Sound System with ESU LokSound5 Decoder

The locomotive is specified as a digital sound version and includes an ESU LokSound5 decoder with an exclusive ASM sound project for this locomotive type. This makes the model particularly appealing to model railroaders who value a realistic sound experience in addition to convincing visuals. The sound enhances the lively operation on the layout and makes the DE2700 an impressive locomotive in digital operation.

A five-pole motor with a flywheel is used for propulsion. The transmission is designed for prototypical speeds. These technical features ensure smooth running and make the locomotive an attractive choice for discerning H0 model railroading enthusiasts. The features are complemented by close-coupling mechanisms on both sides with NEM coupler mounts, allowing the locomotive to be easily integrated into compatible train formations.

Lighting Features and Details for Modern Layout Operation

The ASM DE2700 diesel locomotive features prototype-accurate headlights and tail lights. Additionally, it features cab interior lighting that can be controlled digitally. This enhances the model’s appeal, particularly in layout operation, as lighting details ensure a realistic and lively presentation. The exterior lighting with alternating white and red lights complements the modern overall appearance.

With its H0 scale design, the locomotive fits on layouts of the corresponding scale. The specified minimum curve radius for H0 scale—358 mm (R2)—facilitates planning its use on your own layout. Announced as a new release, the ASM 79320 is of particular interest to collectors, digital modelers, and enthusiasts of modern diesel locomotives who are looking for a model with RDC references and high-quality sound features.

If you’d like to expand your H0 layout with a contemporary diesel locomotive featuring a unique prototype history, fine details, and digital sound, the ASM 79320 DE2700 “Cindy” is a compelling choice. Get your hands on this modern RDC model and add a standout Era VI highlight to your fleet.
