The 7700023 H0 810 491-1 diesel rail car with trailer of the Slovakian State Railways (ZSSK) is a detailed model that brings the typical regional transport atmosphere of eras V and VI to any H0 model railway layout. With its classic design, precise workmanship and modern technical functions, this railcar is a perfect choice for model railroaders who appreciate authentic train compositions.

The prototype: A proven diesel railcar in local service

The Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) procured the two-axle M 152.0 series diesel railcars from 1975 to replace the outdated M 131.1 series vehicles. Powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder in-line engine, the vehicles reached a top speed of 80 km/h and offered space for 56 passengers. The railcars were designed for regional services on main and branch lines and quickly became a familiar sight on the tracks.

After the division of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the railcars were divided between the newly founded state railroads ČD (Czech Republic) and ZSR (Slovakia). In Slovakia, the vehicles have been part of the ZSSK (Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko) fleet since December 2004 and are still in use there today on regional services. Their versatility and reliability make them important workhorses in daily operations even after decades.

Era V-VI: tradition meets modernity

Eras V and VI represent the change in railroad operations, which is characterized by the modernization and privatization of many railroad companies. The 810 491-1 diesel railcar is a perfect symbol of this era, as it embodies both the classic character of regional transport and the modern operating structure of the ZSSK. The model accurately depicts this development and blends harmoniously into layouts that represent both historical and modern trains.
