PIKO 40843 N - Sound electric locomotive BR 152 DB Cargo with factory-fitted sound decoder, Era V

With the PIKO 40843, the manufacturer brings an impressive variant of the class 152 for the N scale - now ex works with PIKO sound decoder! The locomotive in the DB Cargo design embodies the locomotive construction of the 1990s and impresses with a masterful combination of exact appearance, modern technology and realistic sound functions. A must for all those who not only want to see their model train, but also hear it.

Excellent reproduction with fine details

The model impresses with the typical design language of the BR 152: large sides, smooth roof and clear lines. Two delicately crafted single-arm pantographs made of metal adorn the tidy roof area. Freestanding windshield wipers, separately attached handrails and detailed bogies show the attention to detail. The flush-mounted windows provide a view into the finely crafted driver's cab and round off the high-quality appearance.

Factory-fitted sound for a realistic driving experience

The locomotive is equipped with the PIKO PSD XP sound decoder as standard. This provides authentic, locomotive-specific sounds and also enables the driver's cab lighting to be switched on. The light changes in red and white depending on the direction of travel using modern LED technology. This turns every trip into an acoustic experience - ideal for realistic Era V freight train scenarios.

Powerful technology for operation

With its high tractive power and smooth running, the class 152 is perfect for heavy freight trains on your N-gauge layout. The locomotive has a Next18 interface (NEM 662), but is already equipped with a sound decoder. Thanks to the NEM shaft and close coupler coupler, it can be easily integrated into existing train formations. A clearance of 123 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm make it a flexible all-rounder on the layout.
