The prototype: The class 440 electric railcar

The class 440, also known as the Alstom Coradia Continental, is an important part of local transport in Germany. In Baden-Württemberg in particular, the railcar is used under the "bwegt" brand, which stands for modern, environmentally friendly local transport. Comfort and efficiency are the hallmarks of this vehicle, which is equally at home on main and branch lines.

Piko: Quality and innovation

With the Piko 40276, the manufacturer once again demonstrates its expertise in terms of attention to detail and technical finesse. The model offers factory-installed interior lighting that can be switched and is prepared for simple digital operation with a PluX12 interface. Piko thus combines realistic reproduction and contemporary model railroad technology to inspire collectors and active model railroaders alike.

Era VI: The modern railroad world

The model belongs to Era VI, which represents the current state of rail transportation as of 2007. With this railcar, modern scenarios can be authentically implemented, whether in dense commuter traffic or on rural branch lines.

Design and color scheme: "bwegt" authenticity

The yellow and black paintwork with the characteristic "bwegt" lettering is a real eye-catcher. This colour scheme stands for the modernization of local transport in Baden-Württemberg and is perfectly implemented on this model. The detailed reproduction of the vehicle shape and the precise lettering make the model a highlight on any layout.

Versatile application possibilities

With its compact length and minimal minimum radius, the railcar is suitable for both small and large model railway layouts. The direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red and the option of retrofitting a sound module increase the realism and make the BR 440 a versatile operational vehicle for your layout.
