Electric locomotive class 193 of the ČD. Epoch VI.
Model in true to the original livery and lettering. In-plane applied windows. Metal die-cast chassis. 5-pole motor with flywheel. Drive on four axles and two traction tyres. Interface according to NEM 662 (Next18) to adapt a decoder. Coupler pocket according to NEM 355 standards and close coupler motion link.
White and red LED triple headlights that change with the direction of travel. The headlights of the locomotive can be partially or even entirely switched off with contact plates.
Since May 8 2018, the Vectron locomotives of the ČD started to haul EuroCity trains from Prague to the railway stations of the capital city of Berlin and the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Operationally, this has big advantages, as there is no need to change the locomotives any more. Even the city of Kiel became part of the train network and can now be reached with the EC "Porta Bohemia".
