The Piko 50686 BR 03 steam locomotive is an impressive replica of the legendary express train locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era III. With its authentic design, state-of-the-art technology and factory-integrated functions such as sound and steam generator, this model is a highlight for every model railroader. The locomotive impresses with its prototypical design and its versatility in use on H0 layouts with an alternating current system.
The class 03 was developed between 1930 and 1938 for use on lines with a maximum axle load of 18 tons. A total of 298 of these elegant Pacific express locomotives were built. After the Second World War, 86 locomotives were added to the Deutsche Reichsbahn fleet, some of which remained in service until 1979. The locomotive impresses with its high-lying slim boiler and the airy bar frame, which give it an elegant silhouette.
With the BR 03, Piko has created a model that impresses with its attention to detail as well as its technical features. Numerous attached parts such as bells, lamps, pumps and boiler pipes ensure a realistic appearance, while the drive in the tender with flywheel mass ensures excellent driving characteristics. The factory-integrated sound decoder and steam generator make this model a real experience.
Era III (1945-1970) stands for the reconstruction period and the modernization of rail transport. Locomotives such as the BR 03 were indispensable in this era and shaped the image of express train services in East Germany. This model perfectly captures the spirit of this era and is an enrichment for any historical model railway layout.
The class 03 is presented in a classic black paint scheme, complemented by intricate details such as fine spoked wheels, plastic counterweights and numerous attached boiler lines. The direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red and the red flickering firebox ensure an authentic representation in operation.
With a length over buffers of 275 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the BR 03 is ideally designed for H0 layouts. Its size and attention to detail make it an eye-catcher on medium-sized to large layouts with an AC system.
The Piko BR 03 already comes with a variety of functions such as a factory-integrated sound decoder and steam generator. Additional wagons, spare parts and other accessories from Piko make this model a versatile choice for your model railway operation.
The Piko 50686 steam locomotive BR 03 is a must for all model railroaders who value historical accuracy and technical sophistication. With its authentic design, high-quality workmanship and versatile functions, it is an ideal choice for collectors as well as for use on the layout.
