Piko 21715 H0 Electric locomotive BR 193, Alpha Trains - Era VI with AC sound and mfx® support

The Piko 21715 H0 Class 193 electric locomotive is a detailed replica of the modern Vectron locomotive from Alpha Trains in the elegant design of Era VI. This AC version impresses with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder (PSD XP) and the "fits mfx®" quality mark, which guarantees maximum compatibility with Märklin digital control centers. Perfect for demanding model railroaders who want to reproduce modern technology and design on their H0 layout.

The 193 class: Advanced technology for modern private railroads

The class 193, also known as the Vectron, belongs to the latest generation of electric locomotives and is used throughout Europe by private railroads such as Alpha Trains. This model shows the locomotive in a modern teamwork design and represents the advanced standard of rail transport in Era VI.

Detailed design and high-quality LED lighting

The model impresses with finely engraved bogies, a precise reproduction of the technical "roof landscape" and prototypical wheel disk profiles. The LED technology allows the light to change between white and red depending on the direction of travel, which makes the locomotive look particularly realistic. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 218 mm, the locomotive fits seamlessly into modern H0 layouts.

Factory-fitted sound decoder with mfx® functionality

The locomotive has a factory-fitted PIKO sound decoder (PSD XP), which provides realistic driving sounds and other acoustic effects. The "fits mfx®" quality mark confirms full compatibility with Märklin digital command stations and enables the use of all mfx® functions, making the locomotive an ideal choice for AC operation.

Technical perfection and excellent driving characteristics

A powerful PIKO motor with two large flywheel masses ensures excellent running characteristics, even at low speeds. Two traction tires, arranged diagonally on the inside axles, increase traction. The locomotive is powered over all four axles and offers high tractive power. The coupler with NEM shaft and close coupler link ensures a reliable connection of the cars.

Conclusion: A modern locomotive for AC model railroads

The Piko 21715 H0 Class 193 electric locomotive is a technological masterpiece that combines modern design, excellent driving characteristics and full mfx® compatibility. With its authentic Alpha Trains design and high-quality equipment, it is a highlight for any H0 layout. Experience the fascination of modern railroad technology on your model railroad!
