Piko 50694 H0-steam locomotive BR 03, DRG, Ep.II, DC sound Product Details
PIKO 50694 H0 Steam locomotive BR 03, DRG, Era II, DC Sound
The PIKO 50694 H0 steam locomotive BR 03 is a detailed replica of the legendary express locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) from Era II. With the highest precision and the latest technology, this model offers an impressive driving experience and impresses with numerous intricate details and extensive digital functions.
The prototype: The 03 class
A total of 298 units of the 03 class were built between 1930 and 1938. Compared to the 01 series, it was characterized by a lower wheelset weight, which allowed it to be used on lines with an axle load limit of 18 tons. From road number 163 onwards, the bogies were fitted with 1000 mm wheels instead of the 850 mm originally installed.
After the Second World War, the locomotives were distributed as follows:
- 86 units: DR (German Reichsbahn of the GDR)
- 145-150 units: DB (German Federal Railroad)
- 36-40 units: PKP (Polish State Railways)
The locomotives were completely decommissioned by the end of the 1970s. Today, 9 examples are still preserved, of which 1 locomotive is operational and 6 have been refurbished for museums.
The model: Precision and the highest level of detail
With this model, PIKO offers an authentic replica of the class 03. The locomotive impresses with filigree components, such as fine boiler lines, precisely reproduced running gear components and realistic grab irons. The paintwork and lettering are exactly adapted to the DRG prototype from Era II and impress with the highest level of detail.
