Description

Piko 47248 TT Talent 2 Multiple Unit, Rostock S-Bahn, 5-car set, DBAG, Era VI

The Piko 47248 TT Talent 2 multiple unit of the Rostock S-Bahn is a five-car electric multiple unit from DB AG in Era VI. The model commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Rostock S-Bahn and features an extraordinary two-tone livery. One half of the Talent 2 422 837 features the current S-Bahn red, while the other half is painted in blue and beige, reminiscent of the Rostock double-decker S-Bahn trains from the 1980s. In this way, the anniversary design combines two different design phases of the Rostock S-Bahn in a single multiple unit.

“50 Years of the Rostock S-Bahn” Anniversary Design

This special design is the central feature of the Piko 47248. The five-car Talent 2 features the “50 Years of the Rostock S-Bahn” anniversary design, setting it clearly apart from a standard vehicle configuration. The two-tone color scheme contrasts the S-Bahn’s current look with the historic blue-beige of Rostock’s double-decker S-Bahn trains from the 1980s.

This design establishes a direct connection between the model and the anniversary of the Rostock S-Bahn. The Talent 2 422 837 is thus depicted not only as a modern Era VI electric multiple unit but also as a special anniversary vehicle with a design that bridges the past and the present.

Five-car Talent 2 in 1:120 scale

The Piko 47248 is designed as a five-car electric multiple unit and is intended for TT gauge. The scale is 1:120. With a length over buffers of 726 mm, the multiple-unit train forms a substantial unit and brings the characteristic multi-car design of the Talent 2 to the TT layout.

In terms of vehicle class, the model is classified as a multiple-unit train or railcar. The operating company is DB AG, and it is classified under Era VI. This makes the Piko Talent 2 a perfect fit for contemporary TT layouts and rolling stock collections focused on modern Deutsche Bahn vehicles.

Prototype on the S3 Line

The prototype for the Piko 47248 operates on the S3 line. This specific reference gives the model a clear place within Rostock’s S-Bahn system. Combined with the “50 Years of the Rostock S-Bahn” anniversary design, this creates a particularly well-defined vehicle variant.

The combination of a five-car configuration, modern Era VI specifications, and a two-part design makes this multiple-unit train an eye-catching addition to any TT fleet. In particular, the juxtaposition of the current S-Bahn red and the blue-beige design—modeled after the Rostock double-decker S-Bahn trains of the 1980s—shapes the model’s appearance.

Lighting with red-and-white light sequence

The Piko 47248 is equipped with LED lighting. The light sequence is specified as red-white. Additionally, the model features interior lighting. Thus, both the exterior lighting and the lighting inside the vehicle are part of the specified features.

The power system is 2L direct current (DC). The model is not digitally equipped and has no sound. A PluX16 interface is available for digital upgrades. This means the model’s digital interface is already clearly defined.

For operation on a TT layout

The minimum radius is specified as 310 mm. This specification allows for clear planning when integrating the model into a TT layout. Regarding the coupling system, the multiple unit features a NEM-compliant coupling shaft with KK kinematics.

With a length of 726 mm, a five-car configuration, and a 1:120 scale, the Piko 47248 is a comprehensive multiple-unit train for the TT gauge. The combination of its anniversary design, modern S-Bahn styling, and technical features makes this model a special variant within the Piko TT lineup.

Special S-Bahn Power Train for Era VI

The Piko 47248 combines the design of a modern Talent 2 with the “50 Years of the Rostock S-Bahn” anniversary. The two-part design, the prototype’s operation on Line S3, and the five-car configuration ensure a clear connection to the Rostock S-Bahn.

With LED lighting, red-and-white light cycling, interior lighting, and a PluX16 interface, the model also offers a comprehensive range of features. Add the Piko 47248 Talent 2 to your TT fleet and use the Rostock S-Bahn anniversary design as a special eye-catcher on your layout.
