The Electrotren 2408 reproduces the LC 316 in AZVI livery at HO scale. This is a diesel shunting locomotive — a type of motive power that occupies its own place on the layout: not leading long mainline consists, but bringing life to the busiest corners of the track plan, where movement is constant and space is tight.
A shunting locomotive with its own identity
The AZVI livery places this LC 316 in a contemporary industrial railway context. On the layout, units like this are especially useful for animating classification yards, loading facilities or industrial siding approaches, where a shunting locomotive adds coherence and activity to the scene without the need for long consists.

Its role in the layout
In a layout with an industrial zone or yard, the LC 316 AZVI can work alone or pushing a couple of wagons, creating that sense of slow, purposeful movement that characterises real shunting operations. Its HO scale makes it compatible with the rest of the rolling stock common in this format, and its specific livery helps the scene gain in detail and believability.
