Description

Piko 50660 Rh 97 steam locomotive, SNCB, Ep. III (incl. sound + steam) - Belgian flair for your model railroad

The Piko 50660 Rh 97 steam locomotive brings the special flair of the SNCB (Belgian State Railways) to your model railroad layout with its Belgian version in Era III. This model in H0 scale impresses with authentic country-specific details such as the characteristic coal box top, a modified chimney and the typical front and rear lights. With a factory-integrated sound decoder, steam generator and PIKO TrainSound®, the Rh 97 combines historical authenticity with state-of-the-art technology.

The prototype of the Rh 97 steam locomotive

The Rh 97 was a robust tank locomotive that was used especially for freight and shunting services on branch lines. The SNCB adapted the original German design to its specific requirements, which was reflected in the modified chimney and other regional adaptations. This model shows the Belgian version in all its detail.

Piko - prototypical model making

The Piko Rh 97 impresses with numerous finely detailed elements, including free-standing lines, an accurate driver's cab interior and the characteristic adaptations of the SNCB version. The factory-fitted PSD XP 5.1 sound decoder and the steam generator ensure a realistic driving experience, while the PIKO TrainSound® provides additional acoustic highlights.

Era III - tradition and change

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by the consolidation and modernization of rail transport. Locomotives such as the Rh 97 were essential for operation on branch lines and in shunting service. This model authentically recreates the atmosphere of this period on your layout.

Design and color scheme

The Rh 97 of the SNCB is painted in a striking green that emphasizes Belgian railroad history. The carefully designed details such as the Belgian coal box attachment, the specific front and rear lights as well as the fine boiler lines make the model an eye-catcher.

H0 gauge - versatility for your layout

With a length over buffers of 159 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the Rh 97 fits seamlessly into H0 layouts. Its compact design and excellent running characteristics make it ideal for medium-sized and large layouts.

The Piko Rh 97 is supplied with a factory-installed sound decoder and steam generator. Additional wagons and accessories from Piko allow you to customize your layout and expand the possible uses of this model.
