Prototype: The German State Railroad class 132

The class 132, often referred to as the "Ludmilla", was one of the most powerful diesel locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era IV. It was used for freight and passenger transport and shaped the image of rail transport in the GDR for decades. With an output of 3,000 HP and a top speed of 120 km/h, the BR 132 was a real all-purpose locomotive. The Piko model faithfully reproduces this striking locomotive and is equipped with the latest technology to offer a realistic driving experience.

The Piko 37583 BR 132 diesel locomotive is designed in the generous G gauge and has an impressive length over buffers (LüP) of 718 mm. The model is equipped with a factory-installed sound decoder that reproduces the characteristic sounds of the BR 132, such as the engine noise and the signal horn. This ensures a particularly authentic driving experience.

The model has a light change depending on the direction of travel, which alternates between white headlights and red tail lights. The driver's cab and engine room lighting can be retrofitted (item no. #36017), which further enhances the realism of the model. Thanks to the robust technology and the two traction tires, the locomotive offers high tractive power and is ideal for operation with long trains on the layout.
