A finely crafted model locomotive Roco “Kocour” class 742 in H0 scale delights demanding modelers with its realistic execution, reliable drivetrain, and directional LED lighting. It offers analog control on DC power, a PluX22 interface for easy retrofitting to digital, and fine details including safety handrails.
This model of the legendary ČD class 742 diesel locomotive (originally T 466.2), nicknamed “Kocour,” is based on the first series with smooth side panels and a smooth cab roof. Manufacturer Roco faithfully captures the modernized version with an enclosed radiator and large upper end lights. The precise drivetrain with flywheel, four powered axles, and traction tires ensures smooth running even under load.
Thanks to the PluX22 interface, the model is ready for easy digital conversion. A clear cab without internal blocking, finely crafted handrails, and rectangular buffers enhance the realistic appearance. LED headlight and 3+2 lights switch according to the direction of travel, increasing operational authenticity on the layout.
- Faithful ČD livery, era V–VI – authentic details and proportions.
- Reliable DC analog drive – ready to run, with option to add digital.
- Minimum radius 358 mm – suitable for most H0 layouts.
- PluX22 interface – easy decoder installation, sound optional (not factory-installed).
