The Deutsche Bundesbahn BR 120 electric locomotive is a fascinating model that impresses with its precise detailing and outstanding technical features. This model, which is presented in late Era IV condition, embodies the elegance and functionality of a pioneering locomotive series. It impresses with its round buffers, the accurate shape of the body and the carefully designed bogie covers, which will delight every model railroader.
The class 120 marks a significant turning point in the history of electric locomotives. Developed in the 1970s, it was the first series-built locomotive with three-phase current drive. This innovation represented a milestone in locomotive technology and enabled higher performance and lower maintenance costs. The Deutsche Bundesbahn used the BR 120 in both passenger and freight traffic, where it impressed with its versatility and efficiency.
The locomotive was originally developed to cope with high speeds and reached top speeds of up to 280 km/h in test runs. However, its regular top speed of 200 km/h made it ideal for fast long-distance traffic. With its characteristic design and round buffers, the BR 120 is a timeless symbol of engineering skill and progress.
The BR 120 model is manufactured by PIKO, one of the leading manufacturers of model railroads. PIKO is known for its high-quality and detailed replicas, which are suitable for both beginners and experienced model railroaders.

The BR 120 electric locomotive from PIKO impresses with a multitude of technical features that meet the highest demands. A powerful five-pole motor with two flywheel masses ensures particularly smooth running and excellent driving characteristics, even in demanding driving situations. The LED light change in white and red depending on the direction of travel brings a realistic driving experience to the model railway layout and underlines the attention to detail that has gone into this model.The modern digital control system enables the standard integrated driver's cab lighting and the tail lights to be operated via a PluX22 decoder. This allows numerous functions to be individually controlled and perfectly integrated into the operation of a digital model railway layout. For even more authenticity, the model is already prepared for retrofitting a sound system so that realistic sounds can round off the overall impression.In addition, the tidy circuit board with its PluX22 interface offers a simple option for digitization, which is particularly interesting for analogue railway enthusiasts. This combination of advanced technology and user-friendly design makes the PIKO BR 120 an excellent choice for model railroaders who value precision and innovation.
The late Era IV is one of the most fascinating periods in the history of the German Federal Railroad. This period is characterized by the transition from classic to modern railroad technology. The BR 120 perfectly reflects this change, as it heralded the first steps towards high-speed transportation. Its introduction laid the foundation for later developments such as the ICE.
