NEW Piko 21781 H0 E-Lok BR 114, DB AG, Ep. VI, AC-Sound

PIKO 21781 - H0 Class 114 electric locomotive, DB AG, Era VI, AC with sound

With the Piko 21781, PIKO brings a modern class 114 electric locomotive in traffic red livery of era VI to the H0 tracks - especially for AC operation. This locomotive represents the current regional traffic of Deutsche Bahn AG and is a familiar sight on many routes in Germany. The factory-fitted equipment with a PIKO sound decoder including a large loudspeaker makes it a highlight for digital AC model railway layouts.

The model is part of the 2026 novelties and is aimed at model railroaders who are looking for current vehicles with digital technology, sound function and a high level of detail. The BR 114 in Era VI is a reliable all-rounder in commuter traffic - and perfectly staged with this version.

Alternating current technology & sound equipment

The locomotive is designed for 3-wire AC operation and has a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder. This enables precise control of realistic sounds such as starting, motor running, brake squealing and signal horn. The integrated loudspeaker ensures powerful and clear sound reproduction - ideal for modern digital operation on Märklin-compatible layouts.

Lighting & digital functions

The model has white/red LED lighting depending on the direction of travel as well as digitally switchable cab lighting. In combination with the built-in decoder, a realistic light image can be created - both during daytime and night-time operation. The lighting is low-maintenance and energy-saving.

Technical details & track compatibility

With a length over buffers of 191 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model is ideal for all standard H0 AC layouts. The locomotive is equipped with an NEM shaft with close coupler link, which enables flexible and safe car connections. Two traction tires ensure optimum traction, even under load.

Prototypical in modern DB use

The class 114 is a typical representative of today's Deutsche Bahn AG regional traffic. In its traffic red livery, it can be seen regularly, especially in eastern Germany. The model faithfully reflects this area of use and is ideally suited for modern train compositions of Era VI - especially in combination with double-decker cars or n-cars in push-pull operation.

Scope of delivery

Included is the Piko 21781 electric locomotive with factory-installed sound decoder, operating instructions and accessories for individual detailing.

Target group & application

The model is aimed at model railroaders with an AC digital system who value modern vehicles with authentic sound and a high level of detail. Thanks to full digitization, the locomotive is ready for immediate use and offers a realistic driving experience in sound and vision.
