Developed and built by Skoda in Plzeň, these locomotives were technically among the most modern in Europe at the time. As the world's first multi-system electric locomotives, they featured thyristor pulse control, which enabled infinitely variable and particularly sensitive power control.\u003cbr\u003eA distinctive feature of the Czechoslovak railway network was the use of two power supply systems: 3 kV direct current and 25 kV 50 Hz alternating current. To enable trains to run continuously without changing locomotives, Skoda developed the dual-system electric locomotive ES 499.1. The first prototypes were built in 1980 and 1981, with series production beginning in 1984.\u003cbr\u003eThe four-axle locomotive, with a Bo'Bo' wheel arrangement, was 16.8 metres long and weighed around 87 tonnes. Four traction motors delivered about 3,480 kW under direct current and about 3,060 kW under alternating current. The maximum speed was 120 km\/h. A modern thyristor control system enabled precise power regulation, making the locomotive suitable for both passenger and freight trains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold; \"\u003eGeneral data\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCoupling\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Coupling\"\u003e NEM shaft 362 with close coupling mechanism \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMinimum radius\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Minimum radius\"\u003e 358 mm \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Flywheel\"\u003e yes \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNumber of driven axles\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Number of driven axles\"\u003e 3 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNumber of axles with traction tyres\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Number of axles with traction tyres\"\u003e 1 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eArticle number\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Article number\"\u003e 7520241 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEAN\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"EAN\"\u003e 9005033395728 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eScale\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Scale\"\u003e H0 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEpoch\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Epoch\"\u003e IV \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRailway Company\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Railway Company\"\u003e CSD \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold; \"\u003eElectrical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHead light\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Head light\"\u003e3 headlight, dependent on the direction of travel\/2 tail lights, dependent on the direction of travel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLED head light\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"LED head light\"\u003eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAdditional light function\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Additional light function\"\u003eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eInterior lighting\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Interior lighting\"\u003eYes, LED, Digital switchable, Driver's cab lighting, Engine room lighting\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eControl\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Control\"\u003eAC\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eInterface\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Interface\"\u003eElectrical interface for traction units PluX22\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDigital decoder\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Digital decoder\"\u003ePluX22\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSound\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan data-th=\"Sound\"\u003eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold; \"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength over buffer: \u003cspan data-th=\"Length over buffer\"\u003e193 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Warnhinweise --\u003e","brand":"Roco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53114316652824,"sku":"IC-ROCO-7520241","price":505.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/7023\/4136\/files\/roco-7520241-ho-electric-locomotive-class-es-499-1-csd-ac-digital-sound-european-locomotives-800.jpg?v=1793622192","url":"https:\/\/ictrainsandhobbies.com\/products\/roco-7520241-ho-electric-locomotive-class-es-499-1-csd-ac-digital-sound","provider":"InterCity Trains and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
