Diesel locomotive 753 211 of the Czech State Railways. Version with yellow window frame and warning stripes . Finely detailed model with many separately applied plug-in parts .Attached set of plates. In digital operation with light functions based on CD model The so-called "diving goggles" or "spectacle snake" was developed and built at CKD in Prague. The first prototypes of the T 478.3 diesel locomotive series were built in 1968. The most significant change compared to the T 478.1 predecessor type was the replacement of the combustion engine, which increased the output from 1,104 kW to 1,360 kW. The locomotives earned their nickname from their distinctive appearance, featuring glare-free driver's cabs. A total of 408 diesel-electric universal locomotives were built.
Because the performance of the diesel-powered VT 11.5 (class 601) proved insufficient, four power heads were converted to gas turbine drive in 1971, the most striking feature of which was the large air intakes in front of the driver's cab which supplied the turbine with air.
Due to deficiencies, the operation of these trains became increasingly uneconomical, which is why the multiple units running under the designation class 602 were taken out of service again by the DB in 1978 and 1979. Only the power head 602 003 has been preserved for museum purposes. It can now be found in the DB Museum in Nuremberg.
he type T3 wagon followed the type T1 wagon at the beginning of the 1990s. With a total length of 18.340 mm, the type T3 wagon is almost 2 m longer than its predecessor model and has a load limit of 69 t. So any registered trailer can be loaded and transported to its destination. However, the length is not optimal to carry containers, but still ideal for the transportation of 24'/26' swap bodies due to the higher load limit.
