With the Piko 40513 BR 221 diesel locomotive in the classic blue-beige color scheme of Era IV, PIKO brings an acoustic highlight to the N-gauge tracks. The BR 221, also known as the V200.1, was one of the most striking diesel locomotives of the German Federal Railroad and comes here in a prototypical and technically high-quality equipped model version with factory-integrated sound decoder.

Striking prototype with detailed realization

The model impresses with an exact reproduction of the proportions, cleanly executed engravings and harmonious printing. The prototypical blue and beige paintwork, typical of DB locomotives in the 1970s and 1980s, is particularly striking. The PIKO sound decoder is already installed at the factory and provides an authentic operating sound with high sound quality.

Powerful technology for realistic operation

The LED lighting with direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red brings additional realism to the layout. Two traction tires ensure high tractive power, even with longer trains. The powerful drive guarantees excellent running characteristics - ideal for use on main lines and in heavy train service.

Digital ready - fully equipped ex works

With the integrated Next18 interface and the factory-fitted sound decoder, the model is immediately ready for digital operation. This means that classic diesel operation can also be experienced acoustically on modern model railroad layouts.
