This ČD Class 242 electric locomotive, nicknamed “Plecháč”, stands out with a realistic appearance and robust construction. The roof carries two functional metal pantographs, accurate front windows, and a finely detailed interior, prepared for digital control of the cab and engine-room lighting with a PluX22 decoder. The model belongs to Era V and faithfully captures the characteristic features of the real machine, including the typical fan band.
Thanks to the PluX22 standard, the transition to digital operation is simple, and the model is also prepared for optional sound. The lighting is direction-dependent (white/red), while the instrument panel and interior can be controlled digitally. An ideal choice for home layout builders and collectors seeking a reliable and detailed model for their fleet.
