Historical Background

The CD Class 751 belongs to the famous family of Czech diesel locomotives developed from the CSD T 478.1 design during the 1960s. Commonly nicknamed “Bardotka” because of their distinctive rounded cab profile, these four-axle diesel-electric locomotives were introduced to replace steam traction on non-electrified routes. They became versatile performers on passenger and freight services throughout Czechoslovakia.

The original T 478.1 locomotives were equipped for passenger duties, including steam train heating, while related freight-oriented versions were produced without this equipment. Following the introduction of a new numbering system, the T 478.1 class became Class 751. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, locomotives passed to the newly established Czech and Slovak railway operators.

The 751 372-4 represents this enduring locomotive family during the CD Era V period. Its distinctive “lightning design” livery makes it an eye-catching addition to a TT-scale collection of Czech railway locomotives. As part of the Roco Collector’s Edition, the model is supplied in premium packaging with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
