Description

PIKO 50901 Steam locomotive BR 03 of the DR - Iconic steam locomotive of era IV with powerful sound

The PIKO 50901 H0 steam locomotive BR 03 brings the impressive history of the Deutsche Reichsbahn directly to your model railway layout - with authentic sound and factory-installed steam function. This model represents the reconstructed version of the class 03, which was extensively overhauled from 1969 onwards in order to extend its service life on long-distance services. With this powerful, digitally equipped model, you can bring a real technical and historical highlight of Era IV into your home.

Technical specifications at a glance

The locomotive runs on H0 tracks in the DC system and is equipped with a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder. With a length over buffers of 275 mm and a minimum radius of 422 mm, it fits perfectly into standard layout concepts. Two traction tires ensure reliable traction, while the integrated light change (white/red) ensures realistic operation. The digital functions make it possible to control the driver's cab lighting, firebox flickering and running gear lighting - all of which can be called up via the digital control center.

Authentic design and fine workmanship

The filigree reproduction of the boiler with the characteristic mixing preheater system on the smoke chamber makes the locomotive an eye-catcher on any layout. The open ingot frame allows a view of the precisely crafted running gear with fine spokes, plastic balance weights and numerous attached lines. The driver's cab has also been reconstructed in line with the prototype with a new roof - as it corresponded to the real conversion of the locomotives at the DR.

Factory-equipped sound and steam function

A highlight of the PIKO 50901 is the factory-integrated steam function and the installed sound decoder, which significantly enhances the model railroad experience with realistic steam locomotive sounds. Sounds such as whistling, steam release or brake squealing bring your layout to life and make the locomotive the acoustic focus of every operation. The visual effects provided by the digital lighting control are also a real benefit for discerning model railroaders.

A prototype with history - The DR class 03 in long-distance service

The class 03 was overhauled by the Deutsche Reichsbahn from 1969 as part of a comprehensive reconstruction program. With a modernized boiler, modified pump arrangement, new add-on parts and a revised cab roof, it entered service in long-distance service - for more than a decade. This model replica pays tribute to this historic development with great attention to detail and impressive technical features.
