Historical background

The S499.02 series - later redesignated as Rh 242 - was built for ČSD between 1975 and 1981. With their robust design, the locomotives were used in both freight and passenger train services. After the division of Czechoslovakia, České dráhy (ČD) took over the entire fleet. Some of these reliable machines are still in daily operation today.

Compatibility & expansion options

The locomotive is suitable for 2L DC operation and is compatible with all common TT track systems. Thanks to the integrated Next18 interface, it is fully digitally controllable and can be integrated into all modern systems using appropriate control units. Ideal addition: freight or passenger cars from the ČD series for a harmonious train appearance.
