Diesel locomotive T 478 1184 of the Czechoslovak State Railways.
Design of the third construction series featuring corrugated side walls up to the edge of the roof
Finely-detailed model with many separately attached plug-in parts
The class T 478.1 was a diesel-electric general-purpose locomotive of the CSD. From 1966-1971, a total of 230 class T 478.1 locomotives were delivered. A built-in steam boiler heated the train. The protruding structures under the front windows quickly earned it the nickname "Bardotka", loosely named after Brigitte Bardot, the French actress.
The locomotives have gone through several colour variations over the years. Starting in the mid-1970s, the first uniform colour scheme was used for CSD diesel vehicles. The locomotive body was painted cherry red and the roof and chassis were painted grey.
