With the Piko 47122 steam locomotive BR 83.10, Piko is launching a true masterpiece of the art of model building in TT scale. This Era III locomotive, which was originally used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), impresses with its exceptional attention to detail and numerous functions that make it a real highlight on any model railway layout. For the first time, there is a model of this special steam locomotive in TT, and it meets the high demands of collectors and model train operators alike.
The prototype of the Piko 47122: The BR 83.10 steam locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn
The BR 83.10 is a very special locomotive that was developed for the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in the 1950s. It belongs to Era III, in which steam locomotives continued to play an important role in freight and passenger transportation. The BR 83.10 was specially designed for use on branch lines, on which it could be used in a variety of ways thanks to its good tractive power and flexibility. Despite its impressive performance, only a few examples of this class were built, making it a rare and unique locomotive in the history of the German railroad.
With its striking design and characteristic spoked wheels, the class 83.10 was an important part of the DR fleet and achieved cult status, especially among railroad enthusiasts. With this model, Piko has managed to perfectly implement the proportions and design of the prototype and to reproduce the characteristic details of the locomotive to a high standard.
Piko - A manufacturer of quality and precision
The German manufacturer Piko is known for its high-quality model trains and accessories. With the BR 83.10, Piko has created a steam locomotive that is both visually and technically impressive. The model is characterized by its filigree controls and the excellently reproduced driver's cab interior. Particular emphasis was placed on authenticity and attention to detail, so that every component, no matter how small, is exactly modeled on the original.
The driver's cab lighting and the firebox lighting, which can be switched digitally, provide impressive effects and contribute to the realistic representation of the steam locomotive. The locomotive's excellent running characteristics are supported by the powerful motor and two traction tires, which provide additional traction. This makes the model ideal for pulling prototypical train compositions on the model railway layout.
