Roco 36521 diesel locomotive Rh T 679.1, CSD, Ep. IV-VI (incl. sound)

Roco 36521 Rh T 679.1 diesel locomotive, CSD, Ep. IV-VI - A powerhouse for heavy freight train service

The Roco 36521 Rh T 679.1 diesel locomotive is a prototypical reproduction of the legendary diesel engines of the Czechoslovakian State Railways(CSD). The model offers a high level of detail and realistic printing and was designed for use on TT model railroad layouts. Equipped with Henning sound and numerous functions, this locomotive is an impressive addition for collectors and layout operators alike. The diesel locomotives of the T 679.1 series were mainly used in heavy freight train service, which reflects their enormous performance. With this locomotive, you can bring a piece of Eastern European railroad history to your model railroad layout.

The T 679.1 series was delivered to the CSD from 1966 and enjoyed great popularity due to its reliability. A total of 599 of these impressive locomotives were manufactured, some of which were produced as broad gauge versions under the designation T 679.5. Thanks to its powerful drive, 6 powered axles and robust construction, the T 679.1 was ideally suited for use in front of heavy freight trains. The Roco model captures this power and reliability in true detail and at the same time sets modern technical standards for operation on TT layouts.

Powerful technology and high-quality workmanship

The Roco Rh T 679.1 diesel locomotive is a model that impresses with its high-quality technical features. Equipped with an NEM 651 digital decoder and a Henning sound, it allows the model railroader to control the locomotive with realistic sounds. The direction-dependent 3 headlights automatically change between white and red depending on the direction in which the locomotive is traveling. This function provides even more realism on the layout. In addition, the powerful drive over 6 axles provides impressive tractive power so that heavy freight trains can be pulled without any problems.

The model was designed according to Era IV-VI and reflects the use of the locomotive on the CSD. The authentic paintwork and lettering are particularly striking and do justice to the prototype in every respect. With a length over buffers of 146 mm, the model fits perfectly into existing TT layouts and offers flexible shunting options thanks to the NEM 358 coupler with KK kinematics.

Digital sound and modern control

A special highlight of the Roco Rh T 679.1 is the integrated Henning sound, which brings the model to life in an impressive way. The various sound functions, which can be called up via the digital control system, ensure a realistic operating experience. Whether the typical engine noise or the signal whistle - the powerful sound makes the diesel locomotive a real experience on the layout. The sound functions can be controlled individually and thus offer a wide range of options for integrating the locomotive into model railway operation.

In addition to the sound, the locomotive offers a digital interface in accordance with NEM 651, which facilitates connection to existing digital systems. The model is designed for maximum performance, with the two traction tires on the locomotive's inner axles ensuring optimum traction. This guarantees that even long and heavy trains are kept safely on the rails.

Prototypical appearance and robust construction

The design of the Roco T 679.1 is perfectly modeled on the prototype of the Czechoslovakian state railroads. The paintwork and lettering are precisely implemented and offer a high level of detail, giving the model a realistic appearance. The separately attached plug-in parts, such as the fine handle bars and lines, also contribute to the prototypical appearance. With a running height of 146 mm and the robust chassis, the locomotive fits perfectly into any TT layout and offers a high level of reliability even when in operation for long periods.

The NEM 358 coupling with KK kinematics ensures that the wagons are held securely and enables precise shunting maneuvers. Thanks to the minimum radius of 267 mm, the locomotive is ideal for use on TT layouts and also offers optimum running characteristics on tight curves.

Conclusion: A highlight for model railroaders and collectors

The Roco 36521 Rh T 679.1 diesel locomotive is an absolute must for all model railroaders and collectors who are looking for a powerful and detailed model. With its impressive technology, realistic Henning sound and true-to-original appearance, it sets new standards on TT layouts. The model impresses with its robust construction, high tractive power and the wide range of digital functions that ensure an exceptional driving experience. Whether in heavy freight train service or as a highlight on your layout - the T 679.1 is a locomotive that no collection should be without.
