Description

Piko 21845 H0 Class 111 DB Electric Locomotive, Era IV

The Piko 21845 H0 Class 111 electric locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn represents classic passenger rail service from Era IV. The Class 111 shaped DB’s passenger rail service for decades and is thus one of the most distinctive electric locomotives of that era. The Piko model reproduces a classic Deutsche Bundesbahn design and is particularly well-suited for period-accurate passenger and commuter trains. As a detailed H0 Expert model, the locomotive combines the well-known prototype with extensive technical features for the 2L DC system.

BR 111 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Era IV

The prototype for the Piko 21845 is the Deutsche Bundesbahn BR 111 electric locomotive. The model is classified as Era IV and thus reproduces a classic DB version of this series. This clear classification allows the locomotive to be specifically integrated into a fleet focused on the Deutsche Bundesbahn and passenger rail service of this era.

The BR 111 is particularly well-suited for passenger and commuter trains typical of the era. This enables the locomotive to offer various possibilities for corresponding train formations on the H0 layout. The combination of the DB version, Era IV, and the passenger train theme defines the central character of this model.

Detailed H0 Expert Version

The Piko 21845 is offered as a detailed H0 Expert version. The model is thus aimed at model railroaders who wish to expand their H0 fleet with an electric locomotive from the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The classic design of the BR 111 ensures clear visual and historical identification.

With a length over buffers of 193 mm, the model has compact dimensions for H0 scale. Its technical specifications allow for easy integration into existing train formations and layout designs.

DC Version with PluX22 Interface

The Piko 21845 is designed as a DC version for the 2L DC system. The model is not digitally equipped and does not feature sound. A PluX22 interface is provided for digital retrofitting.

Thus, the locomotive offers a clearly defined technical foundation for analog operation while also providing an existing interface for potential digital upgrades. The PluX22 interface is one of the model’s key technical features.

LED Lighting with Red-White Light Cycle

The Piko 21845 is equipped with lighting featuring alternating red and white lights. LEDs are used as the light source. This gives the electric locomotive modern lighting that complements its operation in front of commuter and suburban trains.

The combination of LED technology and alternating red and white lights is one of the model’s specified features and enhances the technical capabilities of the analog DC version.

Suitable for Passenger and Commuter Trains

In this version, the Class 111 is specifically designed for passenger and commuter trains typical of that era. This allows the Piko 21845 to be used in a variety of ways within a Deutsche Bundesbahn passenger train theme. The Era IV version allows for clear chronological classification within your own rolling stock collection.

The minimum radius is specified as 358 mm. Regarding the coupling system, the locomotive features a NEM-compliant coupling shaft with KK kinematics. These technical specifications can be taken into account when planning its use on an existing H0 layout.

Classic DB electric locomotive for the H0 fleet

The Piko 21845 H0 BR 111 electric locomotive combines a classic design from the Deutsche Bundesbahn with the detailed craftsmanship of the Piko Expert series. Its clear association with Era IV and its suitability for use with passenger and commuter trains make this model a fitting addition to a corresponding DB fleet.

With a PluX22 interface, LED lighting, red-and-white light sequence, and compatibility with the 2L DC system, the Piko 21845 offers a solid technical foundation. Expand your H0 fleet with this classic BR 111 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn and assemble matching Era IV passenger and commuter trains.
