Steam locomotive TKi3 PKP Era III: Historical precision in H0 gauge

The TKi3 PKP Era III steam loc omotive is a novelty from 2025 and a masterpiece of the PIKO Expert series. This model is based on the Prussian T 9.3 and was reproduced in the version for the PKP (Polish State Railways) in Era III. With impressive detailing and modern technology, this model sets standards in the model railroad world.

The prototype: TKi3 - A locomotive for versatile use

The TKi3, originally developed as the Prussian T 9.3, was a versatile steam locomotive that was suitable for both passenger and freight traffic. In Era III (1945-1970), this locomotive was used by the PKP and equipped with specific adaptations such as enlarged coal boxes and typical PKP lamps. Its reliability and robust construction made it an indispensable machine in daily operation.

PIKO - Highest quality and attention to detail

The PIKO model of the TKi3 impresses with its faithful reproduction of all the structural and visual features of the original machine. Fine spoked wheels made of die-cast metal, the authentic cable routing on the boiler and the typical PKP color scheme are just some of the many highlights of this model. All of the lighting is designed with modern LED technology and ensures maintenance-free operation.

Era III: Reconstruction and expansion

Era III was characterized by the reconstruction and modernization of rail transport after the Second World War. Locomotives such as the TKi3 played a central role in this period and contributed to the stabilization and expansion of rail transport. This model captures the essence of this exciting era with the utmost precision.

Technology and equipment of the TKi3

The TKi3 has a modern PluX16 interface that allows easy digitization. With a PIKO sound decoder (#56643), the model can also be equipped with realistic sound effects. The lighting in the driver's cab and undercarriage area as well as the simulated, flickering firebox provide an authentic driving experience. The direction-dependent light change in white and red rounds off the technical package.

Why the TKi3 PKP is a highlight for H0 railroaders

This model combines historical authenticity with state-of-the-art technology. The TKi3 PKP Era III steam locomotive is a must for all model railroaders who want to add a detailed and powerful vehicle to their layout. Whether in freight service or in front of a passenger train - this model is an eye-catcher and enriches every H0 layout.
