NEW Piko 21847 H0 Electric Locomotive BR 111, DB, Era IV, AC Sound

Piko 21847 H0 BR 111 DB Electric Locomotive, Era IV, AC-Sound

The Piko 21847 H0 Class 111 Electric Locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn combines a classic DB design from Era IV with digital sound capabilities for the 3L AC system. The Class 111 shaped passenger rail service for the Deutsche Bundesbahn for decades, and this version is particularly well-suited for period-accurate passenger and commuter trains. As a detailed H0 Expert model, this version brings the BR 111 to the layout as an AC sound variant, combining the classic design with digital operation, sound, a PluX22 interface, and LED lighting.

BR 111 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Era IV

The prototype for the Piko 21847 is the BR 111 electric locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The model is classified as Era IV and reproduces a classic DB version of this class. This allows the locomotive to be specifically integrated into a fleet focused on the German Federal Railroad and passenger rail service of this era.

The Class 111 played a defining role in the Deutsche Bundesbahn’s passenger rail service for decades. The Piko 21847 captures this historical context. This electric locomotive is particularly well-suited as the lead locomotive for passenger and commuter trains typical of that era.

Detailed H0 Expert Version

The Piko 21847 is offered as a detailed H0 Expert version. This means that, in addition to the classic DB version, the model’s implementation within the Piko Expert series is also a key focus. Its clear association with H0 scale, the German Federal Railroad (DB), and Era IV allows for unambiguous classification of the model.

With a length over buffers of 193 mm, the BR 111 has standard dimensions for use on an H0 layout. The combination of the classic prototype and the detailed Expert version makes this variant particularly well-suited for appropriately configured passenger and commuter trains.

AC Sound Version for the 3L System

The Piko 21847 is designed as an AC sound version for the 3L AC system. The model is digitally equipped and features sound. This variant thus combines the classic BR 111 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn with existing digital sound capabilities.

PluX22 is specified as the interface. Digital operation, sound, and the PluX22 interface are thus among the locomotive’s key technical features. The Piko 21847 is designed for use on an H0 layout with a 3L AC system.

LED lighting with red-and-white light sequence

The technical features include lighting with alternating red and white lights. LEDs are used as the light source. Thus, the Piko 21847 features a clearly defined lighting system that complements the digital operation and sound function.

The red-and-white light cycle, along with LED technology, digital operation, and sound, is one of the key features of this AC variant. As a result, the model combines several features within a classic Era IV DB locomotive.

For period-accurate passenger and commuter trains

The Piko 21847 is particularly well-suited for period-accurate passenger and commuter trains. This allows the BR 111 to be used in a variety of ways within a Deutsche Bundesbahn passenger train theme. Its clear classification as Era IV facilitates the formation of appropriately matched train sets.

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

Classic BR 111 as a Digital AC Sound Variant

The Piko 21847 combines the classic DB version of the BR 111 with digital AC sound equipment. As an Era IV locomotive, it is particularly well-suited for passenger and commuter trains and complements a correspondingly configured fleet of Deutsche Bundesbahn rolling stock.

With digital equipment, sound, a PluX22 interface, LED lighting, and red-and-white light changes, the Piko 21847 offers the specified technical features for model railroad operation. The detailed H0 Expert version makes this BR 111 a fitting addition to classic Era IV DB train formations in the 3L AC system.
