Piko 50681 steam locomotive BR 003 DB IV AC currentversion Product Details

Description

Between 1930 and 1938, a total of 298 class 03 standard express locomotives were built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn for use on lines with a maximum axle load of 18 tons. The design was based on the 01 series, whose wheelset mass was over 20 tons. In order to reduce the overall mass, the 03 series had a lighter ingot frame and a smaller boiler and cylinder. While the first 122 locomotives were initially approved for a maximum speed of 120 km/h, this was 130 km/h for the later units ex works. In 1959, the DB fleet comprised a total of 145 units of the class 03. Nine years later, this had been reduced to 45 of the locomotives, now known as the 003 series, the last three of which were finally retired in 1972.Arthur Honegger once dedicated a musical composition to the elegant Pacific steam locomotives. With the 03, such a machine is rolling into the PIKO range. The high-lying slim boiler and the airy bar frame with a clear view also characterize the silhouette of the machine in the model. The filigree running gear with fine spokes and very plastic balancing weights looks particularly graceful. The new design has matching add-on parts such as bells, pumps and lamps. Numerous attached boiler pipes complete the external impression. The drive and flywheel mass housed in the tender ensure ideal driving characteristics. The factory-digital versions of the model have switchable lighting in the engine and on the driver's cab, as well as a red flickering firebox. These functions can be controlled using the factory-fitted, mfx-capable digital decoder. The locomotive is also prepared for retrofitting with sound and steam.
