Description

Piko 21723 H0 Rh 1041 electric locomotive, ÖBB, Ep. IV, DC sound - ÖBB classic with sound experience

With the Piko 21723 Rh 1041, model railroaders experience a traditional electric locomotive of the Austrian Federal Railways in its best version - as a DC sound locomotive equipped with a PluX22 sound decoder at the factory. The model offers authentic sound, high detailing and precise realization of the prototype from Era IV.

Technology & sound - genuinely Austrian, genuinely digital

The locomotive has digitally switchable cab and engine room lighting as well as realistic sound functions thanks to the built-in PIKO sound decoder. Two finely engraved metal scissor pantographs, a detailed roof garden and a prototypical design of the driver's cabs and engine room round off the model.

Historic prototype - ready for use into the new millennium

The Rh 1041 was equipped with electrical components from AEG, BBC, ELIN and SSW and was a reliable locomotive in the ÖBB network for decades. It was only taken out of service in 2003 - some examples have been preserved as museum locomotives. A prime example of technical longevity and Austrian locomotive design of the post-war period.

Coupling is via NEM shaft with close coupler link, which makes integration into Era IV passenger and freight trains easy.
