The Piko 47291 V 180 diesel locomotive is a precise and faithful reproduction of the V 180 class of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), which was known for its versatility in passenger and freight traffic, especially in Era III. This H0 scale model brings the striking six-axle version of the V 180 with numerous authentic details to your model railway layout. The locomotive impresses with its powerful motor, the precise light change and the optional sound retrofit - a must for every lover of historic DR locomotives.
The class V 180 (later class 118) was a milestone in the history of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and was the DR's most powerful diesel locomotive in the 1960s. Developed to operate reliably in both freight and passenger train services, the V 180 proved its versatility particularly on main lines and branch lines. It was the DR's first large diesel locomotive that could also pull heavier trains and was therefore considered an important step forward in the conversion to diesel traction.
With its characteristic red and beige livery, the V 180 became a symbol of the railroad in East Germany. The six-axle design, as shown in the Piko 47291 model, enabled even weight distribution and increased traction, which meant that the locomotive could also be used safely on less well-developed lines. This class formed the backbone of the DR's diesel locomotive fleet and is a nostalgic highlight for railroad enthusiasts today.
