The Piko 37443 Class 103 Lufthansa electric locomotive is an impressive replica of one of the most famous electric locomotives of the German Federal Railroad from Era IV. With its striking Lufthansa livery and its imposing size in G scale, this model attracts everyone's attention. The class 103, which formed the backbone of fast passenger transportation in Germany in the 1970s, has been faithfully reproduced here and impresses with the highest quality workmanship and state-of-the-art technology.
The class 103 electric locomotive is one of the best-known and most powerful locomotives of the German Federal Railways. It was developed in the 1960s and 1970s as a locomotive for the new InterCity trains, which traveled at speeds of up to 200 km/h. Especially in its striking Lufthansa livery, the 103 was a symbol of speed and modernity. These locomotives pulled the prestigious Lufthansa Airport Express trains, which connected Frankfurt Airport with major German cities.
The class 103 was known for its high tractive power and outstanding performance, and the Piko 37443 model captures all of these qualities perfectly. The DB used the 103 primarily in high-quality express train service, where it impressed with its reliability and power. With this model, you can bring a real legend to your garden railroad layout.
The model of the Piko 37443 electric locomotive BR 103 in G scale impresses with a detailed reproduction of all the characteristic features of the prototype. The finely painted and printed locomotive is a real eye-catcher on any layout. The many separately applied details in particular, such as handle bars, windshield wipers and the realistic cab lighting, make this model a highlight for collectors and model railroaders. The driver's cab equipment with driver and the direction-dependent light change in white and red also contribute to the high authenticity of the model.
In addition, the locomotive has been fitted with ball bearing and chrome-plated wheelsets, which underlines its excellent running characteristics. The locomotive offers impressive tractive power and masters even demanding routes with tight radii with ease. Thanks to its robust construction and high-quality materials, the Piko BR 103 is particularly durable and suitable for long-term use on the garden railroad.

Whether in analog or digital operation - the sound decoder ensures true-to-the-original soundscapes in both operating modes. The digital decoder of the type PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G makes it possible to use the locomotive on both analog and digital layouts.
The locomotive has a length over buffers (LüP) of 721 mm and is therefore an impressive model in G gauge. The minimum radius for use on the model railway layout is 600 mm, so that the locomotive can also be used on narrow routes without any problems. Engine room lighting can be retrofitted for even more attention to detail, which further enhances the model. The direction of travel-dependent light change provides additional realism in operation by automatically adapting the headlights in white and the tail lights in red to the direction of travel.
