PIKO 40424 - N Diesel locomotive Rh 2400 NS Era IV: Precision and quality in model railway format

With the PIKO 40424 Rh 2400 diesel locomotive in N scale (scale 1:160), PIKO presents a detailed model of the legendary Dutch diesel locomotive. The locomotive of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) from Era IV impresses with its characteristic grey-yellow color scheme and precise reproduction of the prototype. Thanks to fine body engravings, etched railings and excellent running characteristics, this locomotive is a valuable addition to any model railroad layout that wants to authentically represent the Dutch rail network.

The prototype: The Nederlandse Spoorwegen class 2400 diesel locomotive

The 2400 series was developed for the Nederlandse Spoorwegen and was an important pillar of Dutch rail transportation for many years. Introduced in the 1950s, the 2400 series was designed for freight and passenger train services and was used on various routes in the Netherlands. The striking gray-yellow paintwork, which was particularly typical in Era IV, gives the locomotive a striking appearance. It was valued above all for its reliability and robustness and was seen in both urban and rural service.

The class 2400 locomotives are known for their robust and practical superstructures and the unmistakable railings, which PIKO has reproduced in this model with elaborately etched metal parts. These details give the locomotive its special authenticity and make it a fascinating collector's item.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality design

The PIKO 40424 model in N scale shows the NS class 2400 in a true-to-original design that incorporates all the distinctive features of the locomotive. The finely executed body engravings and the precisely reproduced bogies give the model a special depth and attention to detail. The striking paint scheme in gray and yellow is precisely applied and gives the locomotive the characteristic appearance of Era IV of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

A highlight are the typical railings for the class 2400, which consist of etched metal parts. These railings have been elaborately manufactured and give the model a realistic appearance that stands out from other locomotive models. With a length over buffers of 78 mm, the model fits perfectly on any N-gauge layout and provides authentic flair in the Dutch railroad style.

Technical features and excellent driving characteristics

The PIKO 40424 is equipped with a precisely manufactured die-cast frame, which ensures outstanding stability and durability. The powerful motor is equipped with a flywheel mass that ensures smooth starting and braking. This enables realistic driving characteristics that will impress even the most demanding model railroaders. The model is designed for analog DC operation and is therefore ready for immediate use on analog layouts.

A special feature is the direction of travel-dependent light change between white headlights and red tail lights, which are equipped with modern LEDs. The LEDs ensure uniform and maintenance-free illumination, which gives the model additional authenticity. The light change supports the realistic representation of the locomotive and enables prototypical operation on the model railway layout.

Digital preparation and flexible expansion options

The PIKO 40424 diesel locomotive is prepared for digitalization and equipped with an NEM 662 Next18 interface. This interface makes it easy to install a digital decoder if the model is to be operated on a digital layout. This option allows the model to be flexibly adapted to the individual requirements of the model railway layout, so that later expansion options are also guaranteed.

Perfect for Dutch Era IV scenarios

The PIKO 40424 diesel locomotive is the ideal model for anyone who wants to operate a Dutch layout in the style of Era IV. With its typical color scheme and characteristic railings, the locomotive fits perfectly with a variety of train sets and can be used in both freight and passenger service.
