Electric locomotive Laminátka Series 230 ČD Cargo Era V: Technical elegance in TT gauge

The electric locomotive Laminátka Series 230 ČD Cargo Era V is an impressive novelty from 2025 that perfectly transfers the grace and precision of this Czech electric locomotive to a scale of 1:120. With its striking lines, fine engravings and detailed replicas of technical elements, this model is a masterpiece of modern model railroad art. It represents Era V of railroad history with an incomparably harmonious overall appearance.

The prototype: The ČD Cargo Laminátka 230 series

The 230 series, also known as the "Laminátka", was developed in the 1960s for mixed freight and passenger traffic. The locomotives owe their nickname to the use of glass fiber reinforced plastic in their construction. In Era V (from 1990), these machines were primarily used by ČD Cargo for freight transport and are known for their striking lines and technical performance.

PIKO - precision and innovation in TT gauge

PIKO is setting new standards in TT gauge with the Laminátka Series 230. Thanks to the Next18 interface, the model can be digitized in no time at all, and the digitally switchable lighting in the engine room and driver's cab provide a realistic operating experience. The precise reproduction of the bogies and the sharp engravings make this model a real eye-catcher on any layout.

Era V: Change and modernization

Era V marks the transition from the state railroad administration to specialized companies such as ČD Cargo. The Laminátka plays a central role in this phase and is a symbol of the modern freight transport of this era. PIKO's model captures the essence of this locomotive with the highest precision.

Technology and equipment of the Laminátka 230 series

The Laminátka is powered by a powerful central motor with two flywheels, which drives all four axles and ensures impressive performance. The modern LED technology enables a change of light in white and red depending on the direction of travel. The engine room and driver's cab lighting can be switched digitally and give the model an additional level of realism. The TT close couplers guarantee prototypical operation.

Why the Laminátka 230 series is a must for TT railroaders

With its authentic representation, high-performance technology and high-quality workmanship, the Laminátka 230 ČD Cargo series is an indispensable model for fans of Era V. It brings a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern design to your layout and is a highlight both visually and technically.
