The Piko 50607 steam locomotive BR 78 is an impressive model of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era III. With outstanding attention to detail, state-of-the-art technology and factory-integrated sound and steam generator, this model raises the standard in the Piko Expert range to a new level. Almost all of the lines are free-standing, and the finest reproductions of the rivet heads on the driver's cab, water boxes and smoke box underline the quality of this model.
The class 78 was a versatile tank locomotive that was originally developed for passenger trains. Its strong performance and reliability made it one of the most important steam locomotives of the German Reichsbahn in the post-war period. The Piko model perfectly reflects the elegance and functionality of this locomotive and shows the typical features of Era III.
Piko sets new standards in model making with the BR 78. The filigree design of the control system and wheelset stars as well as the free-standing lines ensure an impressive appearance. The built-in PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 with mfx functionality and matching vehicle sound, together with the factory-installed steam function, ensures a realistic experience on your H0 layout.
Era III (1945-1970) stands for the reconstruction of the railroad system in Germany after the Second World War. Locomotives such as the BR 78 played an important role in passenger and freight transportation during this time. The Piko model perfectly captures the atmosphere of this era and is a must for lovers of historic railroads.
The BR 78 is painted in classic black and equipped with the finest details such as reproductions of the rivet heads, free-standing lines and filigree controls. The direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red as well as the digitally switchable driver's cab and firebox lighting give the model additional realism.
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 high-quality workmanship make it a versatile model that is equally impressive on medium-sized to large layouts.
