Piko 37592 Diesel locomotive BR V 60, DR, Ep. III: A "gold broiler" of the German Reichsbahn with impressive sound functions

The Piko 37592 BR V 60 diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) is an impressive model in G scale that was specially developed for fans of Era III. This locomotive, also known as the "Goldbroiler", was a striking representative of the shunting locomotives used by the DR in the 1950s and 1960s. Equipped with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder, the model offers not only visual but also acoustic highlights on every garden railway layout. The sound is available in both digital and analog operation and ensures an authentic driving experience.

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 421 mm and a minimum radius of 600 mm, the locomotive is designed for use on large garden railway layouts. The direction of travel-dependent light change with white and red LEDs enhances the realistic impression of this locomotive. The combination of state-of-the-art technology, robust design and detailed reproduction makes the Piko BR V 60 an indispensable part of any collection of model railroaders who focus on Era III.

The class V 60: A versatile shunting locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class V 60, later known as the class 106, was developed in the 1950s for shunting operations and light mainline services. The locomotives of this series, which were also known as "Goldbroilers", played a central role in the operation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. They were not only powerful, but also particularly reliable, which made them an integral part of DR operations. The V 60 was equipped with a diesel engine and was used for both freight and light passenger services.

In Era III, which covers the period from the 1940s to the 1970s, steam locomotives still dominated rail operations, but diesel locomotives such as the V 60 became increasingly important. Their versatility and high reliability made them an indispensable tool in shunting service, especially on branch lines and in stations. The Piko model perfectly reproduces these historical details of the V 60 and brings the charm of Era III to any garden railway layout.
