The little touch of history:
The railway company CD Cargo began modernising its locomotive fleet in 2016, at which point they opted for Vectron-type locomotives.
These 13 locomotives are mainly operated in the Czech Republic as the 383 series, as well as in Germany and Slovakia. We can still find them in Austria, Poland, Hungary and Romania.
Presentation of the manufacturer Fleischmann:
The brand of model railways originating in Germany, Fleischmann was founded in 1887 by Jean Fleischmann. But it was in 1949 that the company created its first model train, which was designed in O: 1/45th scale. The company was subsequently acquired by Modelleisenbahn GmbH in 2008.
In 2017, Fleischmann decided to specialise in the design of model railway products in N: 1/160th scale. From now on, the production of HO: 1/87th scale equipment is reserved for the Roco brand, which currently belongs to the same group.
Like the Roco brand, the brand is characterised by their attention to detail, and the robustness of their products, which are designed from metallic materials. The brand also offers railway accessories (spare parts, tyres, couplings, etc.) and digital modules (analogue controller, digital control unit, digital remote control, etc.).
