7700022 H0 810 328-5 diesel railcar with side car, CD, Era V: A classic of Czech regional transportation

The 7700022 H0 810 328-5 diesel rail car with trailer of the Czech State Railways (CD) is a faithfully reproduced model that perfectly reflects the regional railroad atmosphere of Era V. With its authentic design, precise workmanship and extensive equipment, this model is a highlight for all model railroaders who want to depict realistic train compositions on their H0 layout.

The prototype: A tried and tested railcar for local transport

The Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) introduced the M 152.0 series of two-axle diesel railcars in 1975 to replace the outdated M 131.1 series vehicles. Powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder in-line engine, these railcars reached a top speed of 80 km/h and offered space for 56 passengers. They became an indispensable part of regional transportation on secondary and main lines.

Over time, numerous color variants were created. In the 1980s, the variant with the beige belly band prevailed at ČSD, which was later also adopted by Czech State Railways (CD). After the division of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the railcars were divided between the newly founded railroad companies ČD (Czech Republic) and ZSSK (Slovakia) and remained in use there in regional transport.

Era V: a time of change

Era V began around 1986 and is characterized by the modernization and restructuring of railroad operations. During this phase, the diesel railcars of the 810 series remained an important means of transportation in regional transport, especially on branch lines. The model of the 810 328-5 railcar with sidecar is a perfect representation of this era and can be ideally integrated into layouts with a regional or rural focus.

Roco - A manufacturer that stands for quality

The renowned model railway manufacturer Roco is known for its precisely manufactured models that meet the highest standards of detailing and function. The 810 328-5 diesel railcar also impresses with numerous attached details, such as the separately attached windshield wipers, and precise printing. The enclosed plug-in parts for displaying the closed front apron allow flexible presentation of the model.

Technical details and digital functions

The 7700022 H0 810 328-5 diesel railcar is equipped with an electrical interface in accordance with the PluX16 standard, which enables simple digitization. The prototypical lighting includes 3 headlights and 2 marker lights that can be switched depending on the direction of travel. The railcar is equipped with interior lighting that makes the driving experience on the model railroad layout even more realistic.

With drive on 2 axles and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model is suitable for both tight curves and larger track layouts. The coupling with NEM shaft and close coupling kinematics ensures a flexible and stable connection between the railcar and sidecar.

Color scheme and design

The model features the classic paintwork with the beige belly band that was typical for ČSD railcars in the 1980s. The precisely applied paintwork and the fine lettering ensure an authentic appearance. The large number of applied details, such as the windscreen wipers and the fine lettering, give the model a high degree of authenticity.

Why the 7700022 H0 810 328-5 diesel railcar is the ideal choice

The 810 328-5 railcar combines historical accuracy with modern technology and offers model railroaders a realistic driving experience. The detailed reproduction, the interior lighting and the flexible application options make the model an indispensable companion on any H0 layout.

Typical areas of use and possible applications

The model is ideal for use on branch lines or in rural areas, but can also be used as a regional train between smaller stations in urban areas. Thanks to the coupling kinematics, the railcar and sidecar can be used flexibly and both short commuter trains and longer connections can be realistically represented.
