Prototype: The class 193 Vectron in the service of Ecco-Rail

Ecco-Rail, a private railroad company, uses the Vectron locomotives for both national and cross-border transportation. In the "Our Hansi" design, the Ecco-Rail locomotive combines a modern look with high functionality and efficiency - characteristics that also characterize the Piko model and which railroad enthusiasts can experience on the model railway layout.

Piko quality and robust construction: a model that impresses

The Piko BR 193 is characterized by particularly precise and detailed production. The model is based on a robust die-cast zinc frame, which ensures stability and a long service life. The tried and tested PIKO motor with two large flywheel masses guarantees smooth running characteristics and impressive tractive power, which is further enhanced by the two traction tires. These are mounted diagonally on the inside axles of the bogies, allowing the locomotive to pull even heavy trains without any problems.

Era VI and the modern private railways

Era VI represents the present day and begins in 2007. It is characterized by the increasing liberalization of rail transport and the emergence of numerous private railroad companies such as Ecco-Rail. This era brings forth modern technologies and innovative design concepts, which are also represented on the model railway layout. With the BR 193 Vectron from Piko, model railroaders have the opportunity to bring a piece of this modern railroad history to their layout.
