“Sound-ready” models have a bridge plug for use on your analog system, a loudspeaker and a buffer capacitor. Therefore,
subsequent digitization can be carried out independently. You can find an instructional video on the ROCO YouTube channel.
ROCO Customer Service and your specialist dealer will also support you with questions and installation. If you want to drive digitally without sound, you can get started after installing a cheaper "driving decoder without sound". Sound fans have the opportunity to order the corresponding decoder from their specialist dealer for a price advantage of €25 on the current price.
This gives you the greatest possible flexibility in the technical design of your models: you can enjoy the analogue driving fun straight away and still have the choice as to the extent to which you would like to digitize your model later.
In the 1980s, the CSD and the DR decided to procure two-system locomotives in order to simplify the ever-growing traffic and operational processes in cross-border traffic on the Berlin-Dresden-Prague route.
The expansion of the Decín-Prague connection to a maximum speed of 160 km/h made it necessary to upgrade some locomotives. From 1994, six Czech Rh 372 locomotives were adapted for faster international travel and have since operated under the class 371 – “Turbobastard”. The CD relocated the converted machines to the Prague depot.
