The Piko 37246 steam locomotive BR 50 in the version of the German Reichsbahn (DR) from Era III is an impressive replica of one of the most famous German steam locomotives. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 865 mm and a variety of authentic functions, such as the factory-installed steam function and driver's cab lighting, this model sets new standards in the field of large-scale railroad models. The lovingly realized model impresses with its detailed design and high functionality, which makes it a highlight on any G-gauge layout.
The class 50 was one of the most frequently used steam locomotives in Germany and was built from the late 1930s for heavy freight train service. In Era III after the Second World War, the locomotive was a workhorse of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), which was used for both freight and passenger services. Due to its versatility and robustness, the class 50 was an indispensable locomotive in the DR railroad network.
The Piko 37246 model faithfully reproduces the class 50 1002 locomotive from Era III, including the finely detailed overall appearance and the typical wind deflectors, sand pipes and steam whistles. The faithful lettering and the loving paintwork underline the high level of detail of this model.
The Piko 37246 is equipped with numerous technical features that make it a particularly functional locomotive. The model has a factory-installed vaporizer that provides realistic steam functions. This allows the locomotive to emit real steam while running, perfectly accentuating the nostalgic steam locomotive feeling on the model railway layout. The model is also equipped with a flickering light in the firebox, which creates a particularly atmospheric ambience by simulating the fire in the locomotive's boiler.
Another highlight is the factory-fitted driver's cab lighting, which further enhances the model's attention to detail and makes the driver's cab of the locomotive visible during operation. The light change depending on the direction of travel ensures that the model always has the correct white headlights, which further enhances the realism.
The BR 50 model not only impresses with its visual and technical details, but also with its outstanding driving characteristics. The locomotive is equipped with precisely manufactured chrome-plated wheelsets, which ensure particularly safe current collection and smooth operation. The robust wheelsets and the solid construction enable a high tractive force so that the locomotive can pull long and heavy trains without any problems.
The locomotive has a sound decoder interface (PIKO sound decoder #36530 can be retrofitted), which makes retrofitting sound effects particularly easy. Prepared with a large loudspeaker, realistic sound functions such as steam locomotive noises, whistles and the typical hissing of the steam locomotive can be integrated into the model.
The Piko 37246 steam locomotive BR 50 is a must for every model railroader who wants to have an authentic and technically mature steam locomotive in their collection. With its factory-installed steam function, firebox lighting and driver's cab lighting, it offers a high degree of realism and attention to detail. Thanks to its robust construction and excellent driving characteristics, this locomotive will also impress in intensive operation on the layout.
With the option of retrofitting a sound decoder, the BR 50 also offers a wide range of expansion options. Whether as a highlight on a large G-gauge layout or as a collector's item - the Piko BR 50 is a masterpiece of model railway technology that leaves nothing to be desired.
