Historical Background

The CSD M 152.0 was developed to replace the ageing M 131.1 railcars on local and regional services. Series production began in 1975, with the new two-axle diesel railcars designed for economical operation on secondary routes and branch lines.

The M 152.0 was powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder inline diesel engine and had a maximum speed of 80 km/h. The passenger compartment provided 56 seats, making the compact railcars well suited to lower-demand local services. The M 152.0 family became one of the most characteristic diesel railcars of the former Czechoslovak railway network and continued in service after the division of Czechoslovakia. The Roco model depicts M 152.0478 with its matching Baafx trailer in CSD Era IV condition.
