The Piko 50602 BR 78 steam locomotive is a contemporary redesign of the widely used Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) tank locomotive from Era III. As the first steam locomotive in the PIKO Expert product line, this model sets new standards in terms of attention to detail and functionality. With a factory-integrated sound decoder and steam generator, the BR 78 combines state-of-the-art technology with historical authenticity.
The class 78, also known as the Prussian T 18, was originally developed for passenger service and was widely used by the German Federal Railroad. In Era III, the BR 78 was used particularly for local and express trains on main and branch lines. Its efficiency and versatility made it one of the most popular steam locomotives of its time.
Piko has paid particular attention to the attention to detail in the BR 78. Free-standing lines, fine reproductions of the rivet heads on the driver's cab, water boxes and smoke box as well as the filigree design of the wheelset stars and controls underline the high quality of this model. The factory-installed PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 provides realistic sound, while the integrated steam generator ensures an authentic operating atmosphere.
Era III (1945-1970) was a phase of reconstruction and modernization of the railroad system in Germany. Locomotives such as the BR 78 characterized the image of this time and are today a symbol of the technical mastery of the post-war years. This model brings the fascination of this era to your model railway layout in true detail.
The BR 78 model is painted in a classic black livery that perfectly reflects the elegance and functionality of Era III. Free-standing lines and the finest rivet reproductions on the driver's cab and smoke box give the locomotive an outstanding appearance. The white LED lighting depending on the direction of travel and the digitally switchable cab lighting round off the design.
With a length over buffers of 170 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the BR 78 is ideal for H0 layouts. Its compact design and robust running characteristics make it a versatile model that is suitable for both medium-sized and large layouts.
The Piko BR 78 is supplied with brake hoses for retrofitting and offers numerous options for expansion. Matching wagons and other accessories from Piko enable a prototypical train composition and increase the play value of this model.
The Piko 50602 steam locomotive BR 78 is an ideal choice for collectors and model railroaders who value attention to detail and technical perfection. With its numerous functions and high-quality workmanship, it is a real highlight on any model railway layout and a must-have for fans of Era III.
