Their distinctive design features a wide fan belt on the sides for transformer cooling, replacing the large windows, while the overall body closely resembles the E 469.3 direct current locomotives. Between 1975 and 1981, 86 units were introduced by CSD, serving both freight and passenger trains. In the 1980s, some locomotives were upgraded with modern single-arm pantographs and were redesignated as class 242 in 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52985585795409,"sku":"PK97416","price":219.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/pk97416_1_v2.jpg?v=1770906357","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/piko-expert-rti-044-1115-electric-locomotive-vi-pk97416-ho-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
