Piko 21792 H0 electric loco 243 019, WFL, Ep. VI, „S-Bahn Leipzig“, DC-Sound

PIKO 21792 - H0 Electric locomotive 243 019 WFL, S-Bahn Leipzig, Era VI with sound

The Piko 21792 brings modern local traffic to your H0 layout - in the form of the beautifully shaped electric locomotive 243 019 of the WFL, designed in the attractive design of the Leipzig S-Bahn. This 2026 novelty is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also convinces technically across the board: equipped with a powerful PIKO sound decoder at the factory, the locomotive delivers realistic sounds and excellent driving characteristics in digital operation.

The class 243 is a proven classic of East German locomotive technology, today in the service of private railroad companies such as WFL. In modern use in S-Bahn traffic, it shows how tradition and the present merge in railroad operations. With this model conversion, PIKO brings this interplay to the model railroad layout of Era VI in true detail.

Digitally equipped - with sound ex works

The model is designed for direct current operation and has a factory-fitted PluX22 sound decoder. This generates realistic sounds such as starting, braking, traction motors and signal horn. The integrated loudspeaker offers rich sound quality and is optimally tuned to the locomotive. The locomotive can be conveniently controlled via any standard digital command station.

Lighting & digital functions

The locomotive offers a white/red light change depending on the direction of travel using energy-saving LED technology. There is also digitally switchable driver's cab lighting, which - depending on the decoder used - creates a realistic light image at night and when shunting. This means that the model is also impressively staged in the staging yard or depot.

Technical features & operating characteristics

With a length over buffers of 191 mm, the locomotive is ideally suited for all standard H0 track systems. The minimum radius is 358 mm. Thanks to the NEM shaft with close coupler link, the model can be reliably combined with modern passenger coaches and driving trailers. Two traction tires ensure safe traction in regular operation.

Era VI - Private Railroad in S-Bahn Service

The eye-catching design of the Leipzig S-Bahn emphasizes the modern use of the classic class 243 in current local transport. WFL (Wedler Franz Logistik GmbH & Co. KG) operates these locomotives reliably in the Leipzig region. This model exactly reproduces the special paintwork and technical design of these operations - a must for every modern layout with reference to current private railroads.

Scope of delivery

The scope of delivery includes the PIKO 21792 electric locomotive with sound decoder, operating instructions and accessories for individual visual design. The locomotive is fully digitally ready for operation ex works.

Target group & area of application

This model is ideal for digital railroaders who want to represent modern private railroads and regional traffic realistically. The combination of sound, design and driving characteristics makes the locomotive a real highlight for Era VI.
