Novelty 2026: The Deutsche Reichsbahn V36 diesel locomotive is a real highlight for fans of Era III. PIKO is launching this robust model for the garden railroad in G scale and is focusing on a balanced combination of historical fidelity and modern technology. The V36 was originally designed as a compact shunting locomotive for railroad stations and industrial plants and is also a real all-rounder in the model.

Technical equipment and drive

The model has chrome-plated wheelsets with ball bearings, which ensure particularly smooth running. The lights change in white/white depending on the direction of travel. The locomotive is prepared for retrofitting with a digital decoder and a sound module. This technology makes the V36 a perfect vehicle for garden railway layouts with high demands.

Design and workmanship

PIKO relies on a detailed implementation for this model: The driver's cab equipment is finely reproduced and equipped with functional interior lighting. The color scheme and lettering are based exactly on the DR representation in Era III, making the locomotive not only a technical but also a visual asset to any layout.

Prototypical and versatile
