Piko 50690 H0-steam locomotive BR 03, DB, Ep.III Product Details

Description

About the original: The class 03 was built 298 times between 1930 and 1938 as an express train locomotive. Its advantage over the class 01, on which the new locomotive was based, was above all the lower wheelset weight, which made it possible to run on lines that only allowed a maximum wheelset weight of 18 tons. From road number 163, the locomotives were fitted with bogies with running wheels with a diameter of 1000mm instead of 850mm. After the Second World War, 86 locomotives went to the DR, 145-150 to the DB and 36-40 to the PKP. The locomotives were taken out of service by all these railroad companies by the end of the 1970s. As of 2020, 9 examples are still preserved, of which 1 locomotive is operational, while 6 have been refurbished for museums.

About the model: With this model, Piko recreates a class 03, which was in service with the DB after the 2nd World War. The model is an excellent reproduction of the many intricate components and structural features of the prototype. This includes various lines on the boiler, various running gear details and precise, true-to-original printing in the style of the DB during Era III. A modern motor with flywheel mass ensures excellent running characteristics and high tractive power. It also has a Plux22 interface, which makes it easy to retrofit a digital decoder.
