Authentic details and modern technology

The model takes into account all the structural features of the BR 112 311 and impresses with a precise reproduction of the body shape, detailed bogies and the finest engravings. The LED technology ensures that the light changes between white and red depending on the direction of travel, making the model look particularly realistic. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 189 mm, the locomotive fits perfectly on H0 layouts.

Prepared for digital and sound retrofitting

The modern PluX22 interface in accordance with NEM 658 makes it easy to retrofit a digital decoder. The locomotive is also prepared for the integration of a PIKO sound decoder (#56571), which can enhance its acoustics. The digitally switchable cab lighting further increases the realism.

Excellent driving characteristics

The powerful motor with two traction tires ensures excellent running characteristics and high tractive power. The coupler with NEM shaft and close coupler link ensures a secure connection of the cars. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the locomotive is suitable for all standard H0 track systems.
