With the PIKO sound decoder already installed at the factory, the model becomes an operational sound locomotive for modern digital systems - simply connect and enjoy.

Prototypical and ready for use

The class 151 locomotives built between 1972 and 1978 set new standards in the heavy freight train service of the German Federal Railroad. Their ability to move heavy loads at speeds of up to 120 km/h made them the backbone of long-distance and local freight services. Many machines are still in use by private rail operators today - proof of their reliability and robust technology.

Possible applications & expansion

The locomotive is compatible with all common DC track systems and is suitable for radii from 358 mm. Additional digital features can be individually added via the PluX22 interface. The NEM shaft with close coupler link makes a secure connection with Era IV freight cars possible without any problems.
