Piko 37584 BR 232 diesel locomotive, EBS, Era VI: A masterpiece for G-gauge layouts
The Piko 37584 BR 232 diesel locomotive is an impressive replica of the powerful BR 232 diesel locomotive, known as the "Ludmilla", which runs in the design of the Erfurt Railway Service (EBS) in Era VI. This model brings the fascinating appearance and functionality of the original to any garden railroad. The locomotive in G-gauge impresses with its high level of detail, numerous technical refinements and the option of adding a sound decoder and vaporizer. This BR 232 is the perfect choice for model railroaders who value authenticity and performance.
The prototype: The class 232 in the service of the Erfurt Railway Service
The class 232, often referred to as the "Ludmilla", is a robust diesel locomotive that was originally built for heavy freight traffic in the former Soviet Union. Today it is in service with the private railroad company Erfurter Bahn Service (EBS) and performs a variety of tasks in freight and passenger transport. In Era VI, which begins around the year 2000, this locomotive continues to be used and has found its place as a reliable workhorse in the modern railroad scene. The replica from Piko brings this history to your model railway layout in true detail and lets the locomotive shine in authentic black.
Piko - Highest quality and attention to detail for G-gauge
The manufacturer Piko stands for precision and passion in the model railroad sector. This BR 232 in G-gauge is a prime example of Piko's dedication to model accuracy and build quality. Every detail, from the ball-bearing and chrome-plated wheelsets to the realistic light changes and the reproduction of the engine room and driver's cab, has been carefully implemented. With the option of retrofitting a sound decoder and an evaporator, Piko 37584 offers maximum flexibility and customization options for demanding garden railroaders.
Era VI: Modern operations and technology on the garden railroad
In Era VI, which is characterized by privatization and the increasing use of modern technology in the railroad sector, diesel locomotives such as the class 232 play an important role. They make it possible to transport heavy loads and are used by numerous private railroad companies, including EBS. The model of the BR 232 in Era VI from Piko gives model railroaders the opportunity to experience this era vividly on the garden railroad and to recreate scenes of modern freight and passenger traffic in great detail.
Technical details and impressive functions of the Piko BR 232
With a length over buffers (LLP) of an impressive 718 mm, the Piko 37584 BR 232 is designed for large layouts. The locomotive has a minimum radius of 600 mm, which makes it ideal for extensive G-gauge layouts. It offers a direction-dependent light change (white/red) and is prepared for the installation of a PIKO G sound decoder and a loudspeaker. Driver's cab and engine room lighting (item #36017) can also be retrofitted, making the locomotive look even more realistic. The installation of a pulsed vaporizer for a true-to-original exhaust gas cloud provides additional realism and makes the "Ludmilla" appear even more impressive.
G gauge and direct current operation
The BR 232 diesel locomotive is designed for G gauge and DC operation, making it the ideal choice for garden railroads. The G-gauge allows for excellent attention to detail on a generous scale and is perfect for outdoor use. With DC operation, the locomotive is compatible with most common garden railroad layouts. The robust construction and weather-resistant design make the Piko 37584 an ideal locomotive for garden railroaders who want to operate their layout outdoors.
Authentic design and realistic color scheme
The BR 232 from Piko comes in an authentic black paint scheme that corresponds to the original EBS. The subtle color scheme and the detailed reproduction of the lettering make the model an eye-catcher on any layout. The detailed driver's cab with driver and the replica of the engine room in particular make this model stand out and give a realistic impression of the interior of the locomotive.
