The NOHAB round nose is one of the most elegant and best-known diesel locomotives in Europe. Originally developed by the Swedish company NOHAB in the 1950s, the locomotive impresses with its characteristic design and high performance. It was used by numerous railroad companies in Europe and is particularly well known for its distinctive "round nose", which makes it highly recognizable.
Altmark-Rail GmbH, a private railroad company, now uses a modernized version of the NOHAB locomotive for freight transport in Germany. This locomotive is characterized by its powerful tractive power and reliable performance on long routes. With its special winter design and eye-catching ventilation grilles, it remains an elegant and functional vehicle for modern freight traffic in Era VI.
The model of the Piko 37452 NOHAB 1149 demonstrates the high quality and attention to detail that characterizes Piko. In order to realize the unique look of the round nose in the winter design of the Altmark-Rail, fine etched parts were used for the ventilation grilles, which structure the locomotive body in a special way and give a realistic impression. The side "porthole" windows and the striking front windows are perfectly flush-mounted and contribute to the authentic appearance of the locomotive.
Technically, the locomotive is equipped with two powerful motors and a finely tuned gear ratio, which ensure excellent driving characteristics. The lighting is also detailed and offers a light change between white and red depending on the direction of travel, giving the model a pleasant atmosphere even in the dark. The model is also prepared for retrofitting a PIKO sound decoder, which brings the characteristic sounds of the NOHAB to the model railway layout.
With a length over buffers (LLP) of 725 mm, the NOHAB 1149 is an impressive model in G gauge. The minimum radius for operation is 600 mm, which allows flexibility in layout planning. The locomotive has excellent tractive power, supported by two motors and a specially tuned gearbox that ensures smooth and even running.
The locomotive is designed for use in the direct current system (DC) and can be easily integrated into existing model railway systems thanks to the standardized NEM shaft. The lights change in white and red depending on the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. The prepared interface makes it easy to retrofit a sound decoder, which further enhances the driving experience on the model railway layout.
The Piko 37452 G diesel locomotive NOHAB 1149 is an impressive model for anyone who wants to have a powerful and stylish locomotive on their layout. The combination of authentic winter design, powerful technology and high attention to detail makes this locomotive a valuable highlight for collectors and active model railroaders alike. Bring the unmistakable elegance of the NOHAB locomotive in the Altmark Rail design to your layout and enjoy an extraordinary model railroad experience.
