The prototype: Rh 2400 of the Dutch State Railways

The class 2400 diesel locomotives were developed in the 1950s for the Dutch State Railways (NS) and were mainly used for freight traffic and shunting work. In Era IV (1968-1985), the locomotives were designed in a striking gray-yellow color scheme. The compact design and reliability of the Rh 2400 made it a versatile locomotive.

PIKO - Quality and precision in N gauge

The PIKO model of the Rh 2400 impresses with finely engraved details on the locomotive body and the bogies as well as filigree, etched metal railings. The realistic representation is perfectly complemented by the rotating beacon and the direction-dependent light change in white/red. The compact design makes the model ideal for use on smaller layouts.

Era IV: Modernization and versatility

Era IV was characterized by modernization and efficient operation. The grey-yellow Rh 2400 reflects these developments and is emblematic of the diversity of Dutch railroad history. This model brings the typical character of this era to your model railroad layout in true detail.

Technology and equipment of the Rh 2400

The model is equipped with a Next18 interface (NEM 662), which allows uncomplicated digitization. Two traction tires provide increased tractive force, and the NEM shaft coupler with close coupler link ensures reliable operation. With a minimum radius of only 192 mm, the locomotive is very versatile.
