Piko 50604 steam locomotive BR 78, DR, Ep. III Product Details

Description

The model of the PIKO steam locomotive BR 78 raises the established standard of the Expert assortment a bit higher. Nearly all lines were made free-standing, driver's cab, water boxes and smoke box decorate finest reproductions of the rivet heads. Wheelset stars and steering system could be made extremely filigree due to the materials used. The five-pole PIKO motor with flywheel mass provides excellent driving characteristics. Additional weights in the boiler and two traction tires generate high tractive effort. Thanks to the modern PluX22 interface, retrofitting a decoder is child's play. A loudspeaker and a smoke set can also be retrofitted with minimal effort. Authentic operating atmosphere is provided by the direction-dependent lighting in LED design.
