Piko 40240 N Electric railcar GTW 2/6 THURBO bwegt, SBB, Ep. VI, DC sound, N Sound electric railcar GTW 2/6 THURBO bwegt SBB VI, incl. PIKO sound decoder
The Piko 40240 GTW 2/6 THURBO bwegt is a modern sound railcar for N scale and brings the typical design of the Swiss SBB in Era VI to the model railroad layout. The three-part unit is based on the popular articulated railcar from Stadler, which is characterized by a drive module located centrally in the intermediate car - a design feature that has also been faithfully implemented in the model.
Sound experience ex works - realistic operating atmosphere
The model is equipped with a factory-fitted PIKO PSD XP sound decoder and provides authentic operating sounds. From the starting sound to braking and characteristic train noises: The sound electric railcar creates a unique atmosphere on your layout.
The model also has modern LED headlights with direction-dependent light changes in white and red as well as switchable interior lighting that can be used in both digital and analog form. This means that both day and night scenes can be realistically depicted.
Attention to detail meets technical sophistication
The multiple unit is on a scale of 1:160 and impresses with its fine paintwork, harmonious proportions and the typical color scheme in the THURBO "bwegt" design. The technical basis consists of a motor with flywheel mass, two traction tires and a solid chassis - ideal for reliable use on radii from 228 mm.
Ideal for modern SBB local transport scenarios
With its prototype reference to cross-border local transport lines in Switzerland and southern Germany, the model is perfect for realistic train compositions in today's everyday railroad life. The combination of design, technology and sound makes this railcar a real highlight in N scale.
