The redesign of this important vehicle type not only closes a gap in the Piko range, but will also enrich many model railroad systems from epochs III to V with numerous variants. The development team has implemented the striking shape of the prototype in outstanding quality in the model and at the same time achieved ideal driving characteristics. These attributes are underlined by the effective use of perfect engravings and a coherent paintwork down to the smallest detail.
Modern LED technology serves as the basis for the light change in red / white and the switchable light functions.
A suitable sound decoder is installed in the factory for this center conductor model, which can be used with the mfx digital protocol. With the included add-on parts, the vehicle's screed can be completed prototypically.
