Historical role model: The class 106 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 106 diesel locomotives were built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1960s and were particularly widespread in shunting operations. Thanks to their reliability and robustness, the locomotives were used in many stations and depots. The class 106 was a true classic of the DR, which was characterized by its high tractive power and flexible usability. With the class 106 721-4, Piko has transferred this historic locomotive into the model world and paid particular attention to attention to detail and functionality.

Technical details of the Piko 37591 BR 106 diesel locomotive

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 412 mm and a minimum radius of 600 mm, the locomotive is ideal for large garden railway layouts. The chrome-plated wheelsets with ball bearings ensure smooth running and a long service life, while the powerful drive ensures a high tractive force that can easily carry even heavy loads.

The driver's cab equipment is reproduced in detail and even includes a train driver, which makes the model appear particularly realistic. The model also features many individually attached details such as handle bars, windscreen wipers and an extendable roof aerial, which round off the prototypical appearance.

The BR 106 from Piko has a direction-dependent light change, where the light changes between white and red depending on the direction in which the locomotive is traveling. This provides additional realism and makes the model a real eye-catcher on any layout. The many details on the locomotive, such as the filigree grab irons, the extendable roof aerial and the realistically designed driver's cab lighting, make the model not only a functional but also a visual highlight.
