NEW Piko 21817 H0 Electric Locomotive Rh 1216, LTE, Ep. VI, AC-Sound

Piko 21817 H0 Electric Locomotive Rh 1216 LTE Era VI AC-Sound

The Piko 21817 H0 Class 1216 electric locomotive in the LTE version combines a striking, modern design with digital sound capabilities for the 3L AC system. The prototype is classified as Era VI and is described as a powerful multi-system locomotive. It is primarily used in international freight transport. Piko has produced this modern electric locomotive as a detailed H0 Expert model, offering a distinctive AC sound option for contemporary train formations.

Class 1216 in Modern LTE Design

The eye-catching design of the LTE Class 1216 defines the appearance of the Piko 21817. Thanks to its modern design and classification in Era VI, the electric locomotive is clearly associated with contemporary rail operations. The operating company is listed as a private railway.

The combination of modern LTE design and the electric locomotive configuration makes this model a standout vehicle within an Era VI H0 fleet. The locomotive’s distinctive design is particularly striking when it pulls modern freight trains.

Multi-system vehicle for international freight transport

The prototype of the 1216 series is designed as a powerful multi-system vehicle and is ideally suited for international freight transport. Thus, the Piko 21817 has a clear thematic focus on modern freight train themes and international train connections.

The locomotive can therefore be used in front of contemporary freight trains. The combination of a private railway design, Era VI, and a multi-system locomotive provides a suitable foundation for modern train formations in H0 scale.

Detailed H0 Expert Version

The Piko 21817 is offered as a detailed H0 Expert version. Thus, in addition to the modern LTE design, the model’s place within the Piko Expert series is also a key focus. The length over buffers is 225 mm, providing a clear reference for the locomotive’s dimensions.

With its clear association with Era VI and the LTE design, the locomotive is particularly well-suited for a modern fleet. The H0 Expert version combines the distinctive design of the 1216 series with the model’s specified technical characteristics.

AC Sound Version with Digital Features

The Piko 21817 is designed for the 3L AC system. The model is digitally equipped and features sound. This makes it the AC sound version of the 1216 LTE series.

The specified interface is NEM652. Digital operation and sound are thus key technical features of this variant. The Piko 21817 combines the modern look of the LTE locomotive with the necessary equipment for AC operation.

LED lighting with alternating red and white lights

The model’s features include lighting with alternating red and white lights. LEDs are used as the light source. The lighting function complements the digital sound system and is one of the locomotive’s key technical features.

The combination of LED technology, red-and-white light sequence, digital operation, and sound provides a comprehensive set of features within this specific model variant.

For use on an H0 layout

The length over buffers is 225 mm. The minimum radius is specified as 358 mm. These values can be taken into account when planning its use on an existing H0 layout.

Regarding the coupler system, the Piko 21817 features a NEM-compliant coupler shaft with KK kinematics. This clearly defines the model’s coupler design.

Modern LTE electric locomotive for the AC system

The Piko 21817 combines the modern design of LTE’s 1216 series with a detailed H0 Expert implementation and digital AC sound equipment. As a powerful multi-system vehicle, the prototype is ideally suited for international freight transport and thus fits perfectly with modern freight train themes of Era VI.

With digital operation, sound, a NEM652 interface, LED lighting, and red-and-white light changes, the Piko 21817 offers a comprehensive set of features. The eye-catching LTE design also makes the locomotive a striking addition to modern H0 freight trains in the 3L AC system.
