Hobbytrain H2739 N E-Lok Rh 1216 'Taurus' CD, Ep. VI Product Details

Description

Hobbytrain H2739 N Electric locomotive Rh 1216 "Taurus" - CD, Era VI

International performance meets modern design: Hobbytrain brings a special highlight of cross-border train operation in N scale to your layout with the Rh 1216 electric locomotive from Ceske drahy (CD). The locomotive is based on a former RTS locomotive that was taken over by the Czech State Railways in 2019 and repainted in 2022 - a model that impresses with its closeness to the prototype and technical finesse.

Design & workmanship

The model impresses with its faithful reproduction of the CD paintwork with modern lines and fine lettering. The engravings are precise and all design differences compared to earlier Taurus versions have been taken into account. The characteristic roof layout, the redesigned sides and the exact reproduction of the road number 1216 903 in the condition of 2022 make the locomotive a real eye-catcher on any Era VI layout.

Technical features & special functions

The locomotive is equipped with an NEM 662 (Next18) interface and is prepared for sound retrofitting. The white/red light change can be switched off and power is drawn from all axles. The model runs optimally from radius 2 and is therefore also ideally suited for more compact layouts.

Ideal for international express trains and Railjet-like compositions in modern rail operations

Historical background

CD took over three 1216 series locomotives from the Austrian operator RTS in 2019. These locomotives were repainted and used in international passenger train services - including between Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. In contrast to the well-known Railjet Taurus locomotives, the CD locomotives have an individual design with modern design elements.

Compatibility & expansion options

The electric locomotive is compatible with all N-gauge track systems in 2-conductor direct current operation. Thanks to the NEM shaft with close coupler link, it can be easily combined with passenger coaches from CD, ÖBB or DB. The Next18 interface allows a decoder to be retrofitted - also with a sound option with appropriate equipment.

Scope of delivery

Purchase arguments & target group

The locomotive is a must for modern N-railroaders with a focus on Central European long-distance traffic. Whether as a locomotive in front of EuroCity trains or in Railjet replacement service - with this locomotive you will have a realistic operating experience with international flair. This model is also particularly attractive for collectors of rare locomotive variants.
